Restoring Function with Invisible Fillings
When tooth decay strikes, the priority is to stop the damage before it compromises the root or requires more invasive procedures. Many patients visit us concerned about a decayed molar or a tooth that has become sensitive to temperature. Traditional silver fillings used to be the only answer, but they often left dark spots in the mouth and could lead to microscopic cracks over time.
At Periodent & Co, we believe your dental work should be a secret between you and your dentist. Our composite fillings are handcrafted to match the exact shade and texture of your natural enamel. This material bonds directly to the tooth structure, allowing us to preserve more of your healthy tooth while providing a durable seal against future bacteria. It is a seamless way to handle a molar with a cavity while keeping your smile looking entirely natural.

Treating Root and Gumline Decay
One of the most common issues we address at our Tijuana clinic is root-level tooth decay. Unlike cavities on the biting surface, decay near the gumline or on the root surface—often referred to as root caries —requires a specialized approach. Because the enamel is thinner in these areas, the decay can progress quickly toward the nerve.
If you have noticed decay beneath the gumline , you are not alone; thousands of patients search for effective root decay treatments every year. We use precise techniques to clear the infection and seal the area with resin that protects the sensitive root structure. To prevent these stubborn cavities from returning, we often recommend maintaining a foundation of health through scaling and root planing, which removes the plaque and tartar that trigger decay in these hard-to-reach zones.

The Advantages of Composite Resin
Composite resin is a highly versatile material that does more than just fill a hole. It is a biocompatible option that mimics the way natural teeth reflect light. At Periodent & Co, we choose this material for several key reasons:
We only remove the decayed portion, leaving your healthy tooth structure intact.
The material physically bonds to the tooth, reinforcing it from the inside out.
We can perfectly match the restoration to your surrounding teeth, making it ideal for a personalized smile design.
Our fillings are mercury-free, providing peace of mind for those looking for safer, more modern materials.

We understand that the idea of a “filling” can cause a bit of nerves, but our process is designed to be as relaxed as possible. We prioritize a pain-free experience, using effective local anesthesia and gentle techniques to ensure you are comfortable from start to finish.
The procedure is usually completed in a single visit. First, we carefully remove the damaged tissue. Then, the composite resin is applied in thin layers, each hardened with a specialized curing light. Finally, we sculpt and polish the material to match your bite perfectly. It is an efficient way to handle a decayed tooth while you are visiting the city. Many of our patients travel from across the border because they want access to this level of care at more affordable dental prices.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do composite fillings typically last?
With proper brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings, they can last between 7 and 10 years. Their longevity depends on your daily habits and the size of the original cavity.
Is the procedure uncomfortable?
Not at all. We ensure the area is completely numb before we begin. Most patients report feeling only slight pressure during the process.
Can I replace my old silver fillings?
Yes. Many patients choose to replace old amalgam restorations with composite for a more natural look and to eliminate metal from their mouths.
Are these fillings stain-resistant?
While modern resins are highly resistant, they can pick up stains over many years from heavy coffee or tobacco use. Regular professional cleanings help maintain their shine.
