Contact UsWhat Are Composite Fillings?
Dental cavities are created when bacteria attack your enamel. In the past, cavities were treated with an amalgam material, which is a mixture of different metals, like mercury or silver. Now we know that amalgam fillings do not adhere very well with the teeth and the mercury may be hazardous to your health. At Elegant Smiles in Las Vegas, NV, our dentists use tooth-colored fillings made with a composite resin to fill cavities and protect the tooth. They also can take out metal fillings and replace them with composite resin fillings for a safer and better-looking treatment for cavities.
What to Expect with Composite Fillings
Composite resin tooth-colored fillings usually fill in the decayed area once it's been cleaned out by one of our dental experts. Composite resin is a versatile material that may be used to treat other problems with your teeth, such as chips or wear on the enamel by teeth grinding (bruxism). Since the composite resin is colored to match your natural teeth, fillings may be placed on both the front and back teeth for a great appearance. Getting a filling with composite resin at Elegant Smiles is typically an easy treatment. The treatment area will be numbed to help you feel more comfortable. Stronger forms of sedation may be discussed for any fears or anxieties to help keep you relaxed during the procedure. After you're prepared, the affected enamel can be treated using a special drill that we will select based on where the cavity is located and the amount of decay. Once the enamel is treated and the area is disinfected, the area will be replaced with the composite resin and hardened. You should be able to return to your day after your composite filling is done, but you might notice a sensitivity to cold and hot foods and beverages for a few days. You can use over-the-counter pain medication to treat any discomfort; however, you should not have any major problems. If after a few days the filling feels high or uneven, please contact our office. Your tooth-colored filling should be cleaned by following a normal home oral care routine with daily brushing and flossing. At your annual exam, our dentist will check your filling to decide if it should be repaired or replaced at any point.

Fastest filling ever! Apt was at 9:30am. I was checked out and on my way at 9:45am. Ricardo was so nice and accommodating when I arrived. I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Phan was quick and efficient. I no longer have anxiety coming having to the dentist because I know I am in good hands.
I don't usually leave Yelp reviews for dentists, but after years of consistent, top-tier care, I had to give credit where it's due. If you're looking for a dental office that actually gets it, Dr. Phan and his ( and his wife's lol) team at Elegant smiles are the real deal.First off, Shawntae is the absolute heart of the front desk. She's handled all my scheduling (even when I've had to reschedule more than once), juggled insurance claims like a pro, and somehow makes the most frustrating parts of dental care feel easy. She's warm, super responsive, and genuinely cares--like, she remembers every vacation I've gone on, follows up to see how they went, and overall actually makes me feel like I'm more than just a name on the calendar.Dr. Phan himself? Calm, gentle, and incredibly skilled. He explains everything clearly without being condescending, and you never feel rushed. I've had cleanings, fillings, a not so fun crown and an emergency visit , and every time I leave feeling taken care of, not just treated.The office has a great vive as well . It's always clean, smells amazing (not like a typical dentist office), and has these awesome little details that make all the difference--like massage chairs in the exam rooms and TVs mounted on the ceiling so you can watch Netflix while getting work done. I'm not saying I look forward to going to the dentist, but it's dangerously close.The whole team is incredibly friendly--everyone greets you, smiles, and genuinely seems happy to be there. That kind of energy is rare, and it really makes a difference.I can't thank the team at elegant smiles enough.Oh and the tall dental assistant guy is way too cool but super professional as well Thank you team!!
I hate to let the secret out on this gem of a dental practice I found after much research. I came here after a very old filling fell out in my mouth while I was flossing. I was lucky enough to get in the next day. I found out I had a few cavities and in some of the worst areas (right next to the nerve), and my worst nightmare was going to a money hungry dentist here in LV only to be told they want to replace every cavity with a crown. I chose Elegant Smiles after reading on their website that their approach is a conservative one. Sure enough, I was given the option to take the more conservative approach that preserves as much natural teeth structure as possible. The dentist never pushed for a crown. I was very grateful for this for I had the most horrific experience at another dental office here in LV. After all my procedures were done, I was shown pictures of all the teeth that were worked on and boy did they look pretty!!! I really didn't have to say much about my bite feeling right either. The dentist was so precise and skilled that I could just lay there completely unbothered. Lol. I have complete trust in this dentist after this experience. He will take care of my teeth as if I was his family. He will never pressure you to make the more expensive decision for his own profit. I have my whole family coming to this practice now, enough said. Once again, I'd hate for this place to get super duper busy because I'd have a hard time getting in down the road, but if there is anyone out there traumatized from previous experiences at their dentists, I highly recommend Elegant Smiles. You will save yourself a lot of agony.
