faqs

How long do tooth fillings last?

The lifespan of a tooth filling depends on the type of material used, the size of the filling, and your oral hygiene habits. With proper care, most fillings can last for 5-10 years, or even longer.

How painful is a tooth filling?

Thanks to modern dental techniques and local anaesthesia, getting a tooth filling is typically a painless procedure. You may experience some mild sensitivity or discomfort afterwards, but this usually subsides within a few days.

How often do dental fillings need to be redone?
Fillings may need to be replaced if they become worn, cracked, or if decay develops around the edges. Regular dentistry check-ups can help identify any issues early on, thus allowing for timely replacement and preventing further damage.
Do tooth fillings fall out easily?

While it’s possible for a filling to become loose or dislodged, it’s not a common occurrence. With proper care and maintenance, your fillings should remain securely in place for many years.
