Dental Fillings in PASADENA
Restore strength and stop cavities with natural-looking fillings.
What are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities or minor fractures. After removing the decayed portion of the tooth, a filling material is placed to restore its shape, strength, and function.
At Legacy Dental Pasadena, we use modern, tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth so your smile stays both healthy and beautiful.
