Get answers to common questions about Fillings.

Dental fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by decay. They close off cavities to prevent further decay and restore tooth function.

Fillings can be made from various materials, including composite resin, dental amalgam, gold, and porcelain, each with its benefits.

The longevity of dental fillings depends on the material used and your oral hygiene practices. Most fillings last several years, but may need replacement over time.

You may experience some discomfort during the procedure, but a local anesthetic is used to minimize pain and ensure your comfort.

Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, can help extend the life of your fillings.

After the procedure, you may feel sensitivity for a few days. If pain persists, consult your dentist for advice.
