Thank you Dr. Smrecek for my beautiful smile! You and your staff have been extremely compassionate, knowledgeable, and professional. I have been to many dentists over the years, but you are the only one I have recommended to family and friends. Your integrity, attention to detail and sincere concern for your patients' health and comfort was evident from my first visit. You are truly amazing.

Huntington Beach Dentists: Natural Fillings
Huntington Beach Dentists: Natural Fillings
Newport Beach Cosmetic Dentists will explain that a white filling is a tooth-colored plastic mixture filled with glass. Dental composites used to be confined only to the front of the teeth because they weren’t strong enough to endure the pressure and wear created by the back teeth. However, composites have improved over the years and can now be used for back teeth as well. Besides helping to restore teeth damaged by decay, they can improve your smile by improving the color of your teeth.
Composites in Laguna Beach Dentistry
According to our Laguna Beach dentist, Composites are placed in layers and a special light is used to harden each layer. The dentist will then shape the composite to fit the teeth when the process is finished. Completed composites are then polished to prevent early wear and stains. Composites take 10-20 minutes to place, making it more difficult to place than silver fillings. Placement times also depends on the location of the cavity and its size.
Costa Mesa Cosmetic Dentist: Cost of Fillings
Prices vary, but according to our Costa Mesa Cosmetic dentist the average of composites are about one-and-a-half to two times the price of a silver filling. In addition, there are dental insurance plans that cover the cost of the composites up to the price of a silver filling, and the patient pays the rest of the difference. As the price of composites reduces over time, so too will insurance companies be able to cover most of the cost of composites.
