FAQ
We are here to help you! Find the answers to some of the most asked questions here.
Getting a filling is usually not painful. Your dentist will numb the area, so you’ll feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Any mild soreness afterward typically subsides quickly.
Fillings can be made from a variety of materials, including tooth-coloured composite resin, amalgam (silver), gold, or porcelain. Your dentist will recommend the best material based on your needs and preferences.
The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used and how well you care for your teeth. Composite fillings usually last 5–10 years, while amalgam or gold fillings can last 10–20 years or longer with proper care.
While uncommon, fillings can become loose or fall out due to wear, decay around the filling, or biting down on something hard. Regular check-ups can help ensure your fillings stay intact and your teeth remain healthy.
You can usually eat shortly after getting a filling, but it’s best to avoid hard or sticky foods for a few hours, especially if your mouth is still numb. For composite (tooth-coloured) fillings, the material hardens immediately, so you can return to your normal diet more quickly. Your dentist will provide specific advice based on your treatment.
