Tooth-colored fillings in León, Mexico

A composite filling matches the color of your tooth and repairs cavities, fractures and wear. I remove the damaged part, place the composite in layers and polish it so it blends in and barely shows. It's the most conservative way to fix a tooth while the damage is still small.

Treatment options

What I can do for tooth-colored fillings and when each option makes sense. At the assessment I tell you which one is for you.

Composite filling
Repairs cavities, fractures and wear with a tooth-colored material.
Crown
When the damage is large and a filling wouldn't hold, a crown is the better choice.
Root canal
If the cavity reached the nerve, the canal has to be treated first.

How the treatment works

Step by step, so you know what to expect from the first visit.

Exam
I check the tooth and tell you whether a filling is enough or it needs more.
Local anesthesia
When needed, so the procedure is comfortable.
Cleaning the tooth
I remove the damaged part and prepare the surface.
Filling and polish
I place the composite in layers, cure it and polish it until it blends in.

Questions about tooth-colored fillings

What patients ask me most. If your question isn't here, message me on WhatsApp.

Ask a question

Will the filling show?

It's matched to the shade of your tooth, so it barely shows.

How long does a filling last?

With good hygiene and checkups, years. Biting hard things or grinding your teeth wears it faster.

Filling or crown?

A filling works when the damage is small or medium. If the tooth is badly broken down, a crown protects it better. I'll tell you which after the exam.

Does getting a filling hurt?

Usually not. If the cavity is deep I use local anesthesia.

How much does a filling cost?

It depends on the size and how many surfaces of the tooth it covers. I give you the price at the exam.
