Cavities can sneak up on anyone, especially if you grab snacks at Broadway Plaza or sip iced drinks from Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.

When a cavity forms, your Dentist in Walnut Creek removes the decay and places a tooth-colored filling that blends right in.

We start by numbing the area gently so you stay comfortable. Then we remove the soft decay and clean the space so bacteria can’t grow back. After that, we place a resin that looks like your natural tooth color. According to the American Dental Association, composite resins provide good durability and resistance to fracture, making them an excellent choice for a natural-looking restoration.

Walnut Creek patients love that these fillings don’t show when they smile or talk. They’re smooth, durable, and shaped to match your bite. You can chew normally as soon as the numbness fades. The Cleveland Clinic notes that tooth-colored fillings not only enhance appearance but also help preserve more of your natural tooth structure compared to older materials.
We also explain how to protect the filling. Sometimes people grind their teeth while driving long commutes or working late, and we help you avoid pressure that can wear your filling out faster. As the Mayo Clinic explains, treating decay in its early stages with a filling is the best way to prevent the need for more extensive procedures like crowns or root canals.
The whole visit feels simple and calm. When you leave, the tooth looks natural and feels strong — like the cavity was never there.
