Cavity Fillings
Cavity fillings in Los Angeles are one of the most common and effective dental treatments we provide at Mid-Wilshire Dental Care. Despite our best efforts, many people still need restorative care to repair a damaged or decayed tooth.
Dental Fillings in Los Angeles
All fillings use a common pliable material that is used to fill in an area of the teeth that doesn’t have any structure, probably as a result of treatment from decayed teeth.
Restorative Dentistry and Cavity Fillings in Los Angeles
If you are missing a tooth or have extensive damage, Dr. Bijan Afar may suggest a form of dental restoration. At Mid-Wilshire Dental Care, we offer a full range of solutions tailored to your unique dental needs.
Cavity Fillings in Los Angeles
Cavity fillings are the most common form of tooth restoration. They treat dental cavities, chips, or cracks by sealing the affected area and preventing future decay. Our team uses different types of filling materials to match the tooth color and structure, ensuring a natural, seamless look.
More Restoration Options
In addition to cavity fillings in Los Angeles, we provide restorative treatments such as dental crowns, bridges, implants, inlays, and onlays. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps that strengthen and protect damaged teeth. Bridges restore gaps by anchoring to adjacent teeth, while implants mimic natural teeth with titanium roots and porcelain crowns.

No matter the condition of your smile, Dr. Bijan Afar and our skilled dental team can provide the right solution. Book a consultation today to discuss your best restoration options and regain your confidence.

Do You Need Cavity Fillings in Los Angeles?
Some certain signs and symptoms show that you may need a tooth filling. If you experience any of the following, you should see your dentist:
- Pain when eating.
- Food particles get trapped inside or between teeth.
- Tooth sensitivity to cold, hot, or sweet foods and drinks.
At our practice, we will first conduct a dental examination and radiograph. If necessary, we will recommend white fillings based on the results. Should the result turn out positive, we advise you to schedule an immediate appointment to keep away any infection that could destroy the nerves in your teeth. This implies that time is of the essence, and whatever needs to be done should be done as fast as possible.

“Dr. Afar has been my dentist for over 5 years and always provides exceptional care. I’ve had multiple restorations, including gum grafts and implants, and his work is thorough and nearly painless. He patiently explains everything and even gave me his personal number for questions. He’s always been there in emergencies, too.”

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Bijan Afar for several years now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received. He is patient, knowledgeable, and very detail-oriented, always taking the time to explain everything clearly and make sure I feel comfortable. His professionalism and gentle approach make every visit stress-free. I truly trust his expertise and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent dental care.Posted on saloomeh sutoodehTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So, I decided to go big and get veneers on 20 teeth, pretty much my whole smile, and Dr. Bijan Afar in LA made it worth every penny! He showed me this cool digital preview first, so I knew exactly what I’d get. The process was smooth, didn’t hurt a bit, and when he put those veneers on? Oh my gosh, I looked like a movie star! They’re so natural, no one can tell they’re not my real teeth. Dr. Afar’s a genius—5 stars, no question!Posted on Azita ShahinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dentist is truly amazing! His service is excellent, and he genuinely cares about the health of my teeth. I had composite work done over 3.5 years ago, and it still looks and feels as fresh as the first day, such high-quality work! He’s professional, gentle, and always takes the time to make sure everything is perfect. I’m very thankful for his care and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dentist.Posted on shaini sarkarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doctor Afar healed my periodontal complication without surgery and in the most cost effective way which NO OTHER dentist (more than 5) could.Posted on Jamie gambleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came in with advanced periodontitis, a lot of infection and bone loss had set in… A result of not seeing a dentist since I was a young child, not to mention the fear that came along with it. So Dr. Afar suggested the All-On-4 dental implant procedure. Dr. Afar and his wonderful staff did for me what most dentists said they were unable to do and at a financially flexible price point. It was a process most definitely, but the end result was more than I could ever ask for. I look 10 years younger. I get more kisses now than I did when I was a teenager! I would even go as far as stating that my overall health has improved. Dr. Bijan Afar and Mid-Wilshire Dental are most definitely a Godsend! With Grateful Appreciation, J.G.Posted on sabababi sabababiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great office! Dr. Afar and his staff are delightful and Friendly. They make you feel very comfortable with your treatment and always try to do what works best for you. If you have been looking for a good dentist, look no further than Dr. Afar at Mid Wilshire Dental Care. HE IS THE BEST!Posted on Shannon BokhoorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I knew from the second I met Dr Afar that I had made the right decision in choosing my dentist. I never had pleasant experiences at the dentist, however Dr. Afar was so patient and caring with me and he took care of me every step of the way. He cleared any confusion or worries I had about my treatment and always took the time to explain everything that was going on in detail.Posted on Ethan StamblerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Going to the dentist is never something I look forward to but the experience at Wilshire Dental Care was all around pleasant. The staff was so professional and took care of everything. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in until the moment I left. I can safely say, I will be coming back to Wilshire Dental Care for all my future dental needs.Posted on ChelseaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After my last implant failed with my old dentist, I was so lost on what to do and who to go to for help. I heard about Dr. Afar from a friend who spoke wonderfully of him so I decided to give him a chance. After my first consultation with Dr. Afar, I knew immediately that I was in good hands. He knew exactly what to do to fix my implant failure. He took care of everything and I did not have to worry one bit. He is the most knowledgeable gum surgeon/dentist out there and provided me with the best treatment possible. Thank you, Dr. Afar!
After I got a word in and told him I just needed the extraction, he stated that, apparently, I did not want to do things the right way and left me with a billing person who said the extraction (with insurance) would be a whopping 700 dollars.
Total scam.
And it is healing great! Leandra the front was the very professional and great customer service! Thank you for the best experience. Also the office had amazing views! Office was very elegant. Very clean office!
