Dental Fillings in Wildomar, CA
What is a Dental Filling?
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay (cavities) or minor fractures. They are durable materials that restore the shape, function, and strength of your teeth. At Wildomar Smiles Dentistry, we offer tooth-colored fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth for a beautiful, natural-looking result.

The Importance of Dental Fillings
At Wildomar Smiles Dentistry, our filling process is efficient and comfortable:
- Preparation: Local anesthesia is used to numb the area around the tooth, ensuring your comfort during the procedure.
- Decay Removal: Your dentist carefully removes the decayed portion of the tooth.
- Filling Placement: We apply the tooth-colored composite material in layers, shaping it to match your natural tooth structure.
- Polishing: The filling is hardened with a special light and polished to perfection, ensuring a comfortable bite and natural appearance.

No. We use effective numbing medications so that you don’t feel any discomfort during your treatment.
A well-maintained dental filling can last 10-20 years with good oral hygiene.
Yes, you can eat and drink normally after a dental filling. The general rule of thumb is to avoid hot or cold food and drinks immediately after.
Plan to brush and floss around all of your teeth, especially the ones with existing dental fillings. This will help prevent recurrent decay from developing around your new restorations. Also, be sure to plan a checkup with our Wildomar dentist at least twice a year.
- Composite (White) Fillings: These tooth-colored fillings are the least invasive type of restoration available. The white material bonds closely with your tooth enamel, minimizing how much tooth structure is altered during the restorative process. Because composite is available in a variety of shades, we can select a color that blends in with your natural tooth enamel.
- Amalgam (Silver) Fillings: Traditional amalgam fillings are best for scenarios involving large cavities or teeth that are difficult to keep dry during the treatment process. They are the least costly option for dental fillings. However, their silver color can interfere with your smile.
- Indirect Porcelain Fillings (Inlays/Onlays): Crafted in a dental laboratory, these fillings are made from high-quality ceramic material.
The price of a dental filling will depend on the size of the restoration, the number of tooth surfaces involved, and the type of filling you’re getting (amalgam vs. composite.) On average, the typical dental filling costs between $150-$300. Most patients are also able to use their dental insurance benefits toward the cost of their procedure, reducing out-of-pocket expenses. Our Wildomar dentist also offers flexible payment options to finance all or a portion of your dental filling treatment.
Most dental insurance plans cover at least a portion of your dental filling as long as you have not exhausted your benefits for the year.
