- 5 out of 5 stars. “I came to Dr.Shahrokh with a second opinion on a dental problem I had been having. His diagnosis and treatment plan is both reasonable and efficient. He explains everything with visuals (pictures). Coming in, I was expecting to be recommended for two crowns. However, he advised just one, with a redo of a filling for the other. With a previous dentist, I had been recommended to remove my wisdom tooth, but Dr.Shahrokh had the foresight to advise to keep it for the need of a potential bridge.Through pictures, foresight and explanation, Dr.Shahrokh has builds trust quickly. I highly recommend him and this office!” — Brenna

Frequently Asked Questions
You've Got Questions, We've Got Answers
Don't see the answer you're looking for? Call us at (760) 232-8878.
Does it hurt to get a filling?
We use local anesthetic to ensure your comfort during the filling procedure. You may experience some mild sensitivity after the anesthetic wears off, but this is usually temporary.
How long do dental fillings last?
A well-maintained dental filling can last 10-20 years with good oral hygiene.
Can I eat and drink normally after getting a dental filling?
Yes, you can eat and drink normally after a dental filling. The general rule of thumb is to avoid hot or cold food and drinks immediately after.
How to care for dental fillings?
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and visiting us for regular checkups. Avoid chewing on hard objects or sticky foods that could damage your fillings.

What's the Difference Between a Filling and a Crown?
Fillings and crowns both restore damaged teeth, but they're suited to different situations. A filling is ideal for smaller cavities or minor damage, sealing the affected area while preserving most of your natural tooth. A crown, on the other hand, is used when decay or fracture is more extensive and the tooth needs full coverage for strength and protection. Dr. Shahrokh will evaluate the size and condition of the damage to determine which solution will best restore your tooth's function and longevity.
Can You Prevent Cavities and Avoid Fillings?
While fillings are a reliable fix, the best approach is to prevent cavities from forming in the first place. Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing every day, and limiting sugary snacks and drinks all go a long way toward protecting your enamel. Routine cleanings and checkups at All Smiles Dental Studio help catch early decay before it requires treatment. With consistent home care and regular professional attention, you can keep your smile healthy and reduce your need for future fillings.
Are Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings in Encinitas, CA, Safe?
Many patients wonder whether modern fillings are safe, and the answer is a confident yes. The tooth-colored composite fillings used at All Smiles Dental Studio are made from durable, biocompatible materials that contain no metal or mercury. They bond securely to your tooth, restoring strength while blending seamlessly with your natural smile. Beyond their safety, these fillings preserve more of your healthy tooth structure than older options did. Dr. Shahrokh is happy to answer any questions you have about the materials so you feel fully at ease.
How much does dental fillings in Encinitas, CA cost?
The cost of dental fillings depends on a few factors, including the scope of your treatment plan and whether additional imaging or procedures are needed. During your visit, we'll walk you through a clear, itemized estimate before anything begins — no surprises.
