Tooth-Colored Fillings for Kids in Tijuana, TX

Dentiland in Tijuana, MX, is committed to offering the best dental care possible for children. Dr. Brenda and her team are dedicated to this goal. We offer tooth-colored fillings as a popular, effective way to treat cavities in children. These fillings restore teeth function and blend in seamlessly with your child's natural smile, helping them maintain their self-confidence. 

Why Choose Tooth-Colored Fillings?

Composite resin fillings in tooth-colored shades are a great choice for kids for several reasons. These tooth-colored alternatives to traditional silver fillings are more aesthetically pleasing and offer the same durability and functionality.

  • Aesthetic Appeal

    The natural look of these fillings is one of their greatest advantages. These fillings are made to match your child's natural teeth color. They help keep their smile intact. As children age, they become more aware of their appearance. Fillings that blend into the surrounding tooth structure are less noticeable. This allows your child to be confident and smile without being concerned about their dental work.

  • The Minimally Invasive

    Metal fillings are more destructive to teeth than tooth-colored fillings. Dentiland uses precise methods to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. This method is especially beneficial to children, as it keeps their teeth healthy for longer. Preserving the natural structure of teeth is important, especially for growing children who are still developing their teeth.

  • Bonding to Tooth Structure

    Composite resins used in tooth-colored fillings adhere directly to the tooth structure. This ability to bond increases the strength of the teeth and creates a filling that is more durable and secure. This tight bond prevents bacteria from entering the tooth cavity, reduces the risk of further decay, and extends the life of the filling.

  • Safe and Durable

    The materials used to make tooth-colored fillings are safe for children. Composite resin is free of harmful substances and biocompatible, so it's an excellent choice for your child's dental health. These fillings can also withstand the pressure of chewing and, if properly cared for, last many years.

What to Expect During the Filling Procedure

  • Initial Consultation

    When you bring your children to Dentiland, Dr. Brenda begins with a thorough examination. She will determine the size of the cavity and then discuss treatment options. Parents must express any concerns or ask questions during this consultation. Dr. Brenda wants to make sure that you and your child are both informed and comfortable about the treatment plan.

  • Preparing for the Filling

    Dr. Brenda ensures that your child is comfortable before the procedure. She may use local anesthetics to numb your child's affected area. Dr. Brenda will explain to your child each step in a friendly, reassuring way. This helps to reduce any anxiety.

  • Remove Decayed Materials

    Dr. Brenda will use a dental drill to remove the decayed part of the tooth once your child has become comfortable. This step is essential to ensure that the filling adheres properly and that harmful bacteria are removed. Dr. Brenda is very careful to only remove the decayed materials while preserving as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible.

  • Filling the Cavity

    Dr. Brenda prepares the composite resin to be applied after the decayed materials have been removed. The resin is applied one layer at a time and then each layer is hardened using a special lamp. This allows for a perfect fit and ensures that the filling is firmly bonded to the tooth.

  • Shaping and Polishing

    After the filling is placed, Dr. Brenda shapes it to match the contours of the tooth. This step is crucial for proper alignment and comfort. The filling is polished after shaping to give it a smooth surface, which will make the filling feel more natural.

Aftercare and Maintenance

Immediate Care

After the procedure, Dr. Brenda provides you with detailed instructions on how to care for your filling. After receiving a filling, it's not uncommon for your child to feel a slight sensitivity to changes in temperature for a couple of days. This is usually a temporary sensitivity and should subside soon.


Oral Hygiene

For tooth-colored fillings to last, you must encourage good oral hygiene. Dr. Brenda can advise you on how to care for your child's teeth. This includes:



  • Brushing - Ensure your child brushes their teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste. Be sure to supervise younger children so they brush their teeth properly.
  • Flossing - Introduce flossing to your child's routine. Flossing prevents decay in areas where toothbrushes can't reach.
  • Schedule Regular Dental Visits: Schedule regular dental checkups with Dr. Brenda every six months. These visits will allow Dr. Brenda to monitor your child's dental health and detect any potential problems early.


Dietary Considerations

You should be aware of the food your child consumes, as some foods can affect the life of fillings. Limit sugary drinks and snacks, which can cause tooth decay. Encourage your child to eat a balanced diet and drink lots of water to wash away food particles, particularly after meals. This will also reduce the acidity in their mouth.
