Restorative Fillings Treatment FAQ

A filling is a dental restoration used to repair a cavity in a tooth by removing decayed material and replacing it with a filling material.

You may need a filling if you have a cavity, which can cause symptoms like tooth sensitivity, pain when biting down, or visible discoloration or pits on the tooth surface.

The most common filling materials include amalgam (silver), composite (tooth-colored), gold, and ceramic. Your dentist will help you choose the right material based on factors like the location of the cavity and your budget.

The lifespan of a filling depends on factors such as the type of filling material used and how well you care for your teeth. On average, fillings can last between 5-15 years. 

The process of getting a filling is typically not painful, as the area around the tooth will be numbed with a local anesthetic. However, some people may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity afterward.

The time it takes to get a filling will depend on the size and location of the cavity. Typically, the procedure can be completed in one visit to the dentist’s office, usually taking about 30-60 minutes.

Yes, you can eat and drink normally after getting a filling. However, it’s recommended to avoid hot or cold foods and drinks for a few hours afterward as the filling material may be sensitive to temperature changes.

In rare cases, some people may experience an allergic reaction to the filling material. However, this is uncommon and can usually be avoided by choosing a different filling material.

In some cases, a filling can become loose or fall out if the surrounding tooth structure is weakened or if the filling material is not properly bonded to the tooth. If this occurs, it’s important to see your dentist as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the tooth.

Practicing good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly, can help prevent cavities and the need for future fillings. Additionally, avoiding sugary and acidic foods and drinks and seeing your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings can also help maintain good dental health.

Our Process -- And Yours

Non-surgical treatment, the method of choice for early-stage gum disease, essentially amounts to a deep, professional cleaning of the teeth that gets at the tartar under the gumline and includes the application of a local antimicrobial.

Vigilance (yours)
It's important to be vigilant for gum disease because it can be painless, revealing itself only when valuable treatment time has been lost.

Local anesthesia (if needed)
Root-planing and scaling clean down to the roots. We may use a local anesthetic to make you more comfortable.
2
Root-planing and scaling (deep-cleaning)
If diagnosed in the early stages, the preferred and more conservative (i.e., non-invasive) option is scaling and root-planing.
3
Anti-microbial application
We proactively apply an antimicrobial to the affected areas to kill and guard against any bacteria there that could pose a setback.
4
Ongoing home care and vigilance
You establish and make a habit of a rigorous home dental-health regimen that includes thorough brushing and flossing, and ongoing vigilance for flare-ups.
