Bellevue Dental Fillings at Art of Pediatric Dentistry

At Art of Pediatric Dentistry in Bellevue, WA, we specialize in providing durable, aesthetic dental fillings as part of our pediatric dental care. Dr. Yu Ong and our skilled team ensure a gentle, efficient process tailored to the needs of your children, reinforcing the structural integrity of teeth and preventing further decay.

Why Dental Fillings Are Essential

Dental fillings are crucial not only for treating cavities but also for restoring the functionality and aesthetics of your child's teeth. By filling cavities early, we prevent complications that can lead to more significant issues down the road, ensuring your child's smile remains healthy and beautiful.

Our Dental Filling Options

Composite Fillings: Often referred to as "tooth-colored fillings," these are made from a mixture of acrylic resin and finely ground glass-like particles. They mimic the appearance of natural teeth and are perfect for front teeth or visible parts of teeth.

Amalgam Fillings: Known for their durability, these fillings are less commonly used in pediatric dentistry today but are available upon request, particularly for back teeth.

Gold Fillings: While more expensive, gold fillings are exceptionally durable and are considered by some for their longevity.

We also offer Preventive Dentistry services like sealants and fluoride treatments to help protect against cavities before they start.

Advanced Filling Techniques

At Art of Pediatric Dentistry, we utilize the latest in dental technology to ensure the filling process is as comfortable and brief as possible. Our minimally invasive techniques help preserve more of your child’s natural tooth structure, promoting better dental health.

Inlays and Onlays: For larger cavities or damaged areas, inlays and onlays made from porcelain or composite materials offer a robust, more natural-looking restoration than traditional fillings.

Laser Dentistry: In some cases, we use laser technology to prepare teeth for fillings, reducing discomfort and speeding up the recovery process.

Safe and Effective Treatments

All materials we use for dental fillings are safe and approved by leading dental health organizations. Despite debates about materials like amalgam, we prioritize materials that are not only effective but also aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting, tailored to the needs of our young patients.
