At Polished Pediatric Dentistry, we believe that dental care should be
gentle, effective, and virtually invisible, especially for kids.
That’s why we offer composite fillings, a safe and natural-looking solution to treat cavities and protect growing smiles. Whether your child has their first cavity or needs to replace an older filling, Dr. Dinah Jammal and our caring team will make the experience easy and stress-free.
We know that sitting through dental work can be intimidating for kids and parents alike. That’s why every visit is filled with kindness, patience, and personalized care designed around your child’s comfort.
Why parents love our composite fillings:
- Tooth-colored material blends in naturally
- Preserves more of your child’s healthy tooth
- Minimally invasive and quick to complete
The Composite Filling Process
Gentle Evaluation
We start with a gentle exam and digital X-rays to assess the cavity and walk you through our recommended treatment plan. You'll have time to ask questions and feel confident in the next steps—we never rush or pressure.
The Composite Filling Process
Pain-Free Treatment
With your child fully relaxed and comfortable, Dr. Jammal removes any decay and fills the space with a durable, tooth-colored resin. The composite is shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with their natural tooth.
