Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Filling

What types of fillings do you offer?

We offer composite (tooth-colored) fillings, silver amalgam, and glass ionomer—your dentist will recommend the best option based on your needs.

Are dental fillings painful?

No, the procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the process.

How long do dental fillings last?

Composite fillings typically last 5–10 years, while amalgam can last 10–15 years with proper care.

Can I eat right after a filling?

Wait until the numbness wears off—usually within 1–2 hours. For composite fillings, you can eat soon after; for amalgam, wait a few hours.

How do I know if I need a filling?

Common signs include toothache, visible holes, sensitivity, or food getting stuck in a specific spot. Regular checkups help detect cavities early.

Do fillings look natural?

Yes, composite fillings are matched to the color of your natural teeth and are nearly invisible.

What happens if I ignore a cavity?

Cavities grow over time, potentially leading to tooth infection, abscess, or the need for root canal or extraction.

Is it safe to replace old silver fillings?

Yes, old amalgam fillings can be replaced with tooth-colored materials for aesthetic or functional reasons.
