Frequently Asked Questions
No, getting a filling is generally not painful.
Your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area before starting the procedure. You might experience some sensitivity after the numbing wears off, but this is usually mild and temporary.
The lifespan of a dental filling varies depending on the type of filling material used, the size of the cavity, and your oral hygiene habits.
Composite fillings typically last 5-7 years, while amalgam fillings can last 10-15 years or longer. Regular dental check-ups are important to monitor the condition of your fillings.
There are primarily two types of fillings:
Composite fillings: These are tooth-colored fillings made from resin material that matches the color of your teeth.
Amalgam fillings: These are silver-colored fillings made from a mixture of metals. While they are durable, composite fillings are more aesthetically pleasing and are the preferred choice for many people.
