Porcelain Fillings in Beverly Hills – Dr. David Frey, DDS

With more than 20 years of experience in dentistry, cosmetic dentist Dr. David S. Frey has worked with many dental materials, and has used several different techniques over time. He seeks to provide only the very best care to his cosmetic dentistry Beverly Hills patients. It is for this reason that Dr. Frey removes old, unsightly mercury fillings to replace them with porcelain fillings. The porcelain holds the tooth structure together, strengthening the teeth. Mercury fillings often crack and break teeth because they are not bonded to them. By protecting the teeth, porcelain fillings prevent tooth loss and therefore prevent the need for more extensive dental work such as dental implants or dental bridges. Porcelain fillings are also used in lieu of destructive crowns because they keep the natural shape and form of the tooth. Dr. Frey may recommend porcelain fillings as part of a Beverly Hills full mouth rehabilitation treatment. Patients are often not given the option of having porcelain fillings instead of crowns, and unlike the fillings, crowns require the tooth structure to be drilled down to a stub. Porcelain fillings offer patients metal-free dentistry, which allows light to flow through and reflect off the teeth, leaving a more natural smile.

Dr. Frey also provides comprehensive dental care for Beverly Hills smile makeover and TMJ treatment patients.
