Dental Fillings in Redondo Beach

At South Bay Dental Esthetics, we restore strength and protect smiles with durable, natural-looking dental fillings. Dr. Slobodan “Bo” Djordjevic, DDS, and our team use advanced materials and gentle techniques to repair cavities while keeping your teeth looking and feeling natural.

What Are Dental Fillings?

A dental filling is a restorative treatment that repairs a tooth damaged by decay, cracks, or wear. The decayed portion is removed, and the tooth is “filled” with a strong, tooth-colored material that restores its function and prevents further damage.

Fillings are commonly used for:

• Cavities caused by tooth decay
• Worn or weakened enamel
• Small chips or cracks
• Restoring teeth after minor trauma

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings?

In the past, fillings were made from silver amalgam, which was noticeable and sometimes uncomfortable. Today, we use composite resin and advanced ceramics that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Benefits of modern fillings include:

• Natural appearance: Matches your tooth shade for a seamless finish
• Strong and durable: Designed to handle daily chewing forces
• Mercury-free: Safe, biocompatible materials
• Minimally invasive: Conservative removal of decay preserves healthy enamel
• Comfortable process: Most fillings can be completed in one visit with little to no discomfort

Our Approach at South Bay Dental Esthetics

• Gentle care: Dr. Bo is known for his calm, reassuring approach—especially for patients who are anxious about dental work.
• Advanced technology: Digital imaging ensures precision in detecting and treating cavities.
• Patient comfort: With ErgoSoothe™ massage chairs and careful numbing techniques, patients often describe treatment as painless.
• Quality materials: We use long-lasting, esthetic resins and ceramics for natural results.

The Dental Filling Process

1. Exam & Diagnosis – We detect decay or damage through a clinical exam and digital imaging.
2. Preparation – The affected area is gently cleaned and any decay removed.
3. Filling Placement – Composite resin is placed in layers, cured with light, and shaped to match your natural tooth.
4. Polishing & Bite Adjustment – The filling is polished smooth and adjusted for a comfortable bite.

Caring for Your Fillings

With proper care, tooth-colored fillings can last many years. Maintain them by:

• Brushing twice a day and flossing daily
• Scheduling regular cleanings with our hygienist Kathy
• Avoiding hard chewing on non-food objects like pens or ice
• Visiting us for routine checkups to monitor filling integrity
