Restorative Fillings: Natural-Looking Cavity Repair
If a tooth has been affected by decay (a cavity), a filling is the standard treatment to remove the decay and restore the tooth's structure.
- Seamless Blending: We use high-quality, tooth-colored materials for our Restorative Fillings . This means the filling will perfectly match the shade of your natural teeth, making the repair virtually invisible.
- Preserving Tooth Structure: Fillings stop the spread of decay and seal the tooth, protecting it from future damage while restoring its original shape and function.
- Comfortable Procedure: Our gentle approach ensures the procedure is efficient and comfortable, helping you return to a healthy smile quickly.
Dental Crowns: Strength and Protection
for Damaged Teeth
A dental crown (or cap) is a custom-made restoration that is used to fully cover a tooth above the gum line. Crowns are often necessary when a tooth has been severely compromised by trauma, a large filling, or extensive decay.
- Full Coverage Restoration: A crown encases the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Crowns provide lasting protection, preventing a severely weakened tooth from fracturing or breaking, which can prevent the need for an Extractions or further complex treatment.
- When a Crown is Needed: We may recommend a crown after a root canal, to restore a broken or severely worn-down tooth, or to top a dental implant.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry
How long do restorative fillings last?
With proper care (and daily brushing!), composite fillings typically last 5–10 years. We’ll check them at every dental check-up in Pasadena to ensure your shield is still holding strong.
Is getting a dental crown painful?
Not at all! Dr. Naderi uses local anesthesia to "power down" any sensation in the area. Most patients report that getting a crown feels no different than getting a standard filling.
Does Medicaid cover dental crowns in Pasadena?
For patients under 21, Texas Medicaid and CHIP often cover restorative treatments like fillings and certain types of crowns when they are medically necessary. Our front-desk team can help you verify your specific coverage.
What is the difference between a filling and a crown?
Think of a filling like a "patch" for a small hole. A crown is like a full suit of "armor" that protects a tooth that has too much damage for a simple patch to fix.
