To ensure the longevity of your fillings, follow these daily oral care practices:
Use fluoride toothpaste to strengthen enamel and keep the restored tooth clean and decay-free.
Daily flossing prevents plaque buildup between teeth and around the filling margins.
Refrain from chewing hard or sticky foods right after treatment to protect the new filling as it settles.
If you notice ongoing sensitivity, pressure, or discomfort, contact your dentist to ensure the filling is properly adjusted.
Modern dental fillings are performed under local anaesthesia, which numbs the area and ensures the procedure is comfortable. You may feel some pressure or mild vibrations during the treatment, and it is common to experience slight sensitivity to hot, cold, or pressure for a few days afterwards. This sensitivity usually subsides as the tooth adjusts to the new filling.
Signs that you may need a filling include visible cavities, tooth sensitivity, pain when biting, or dark spots on your teeth. However, not all cavities are visible, which is why regular dental check-ups and X-rays are essential.
While dental fillings are durable, they can wear down, crack, or become loose over time due to chewing forces, teeth grinding, or decay forming around the edges. Regular dental visits allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your fillings, address minor issues early, and replace or repair them when necessary.
The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used, its location in the mouth, and your oral hygiene habits. Composite resin fillings typically last 5–10 years, while other materials such as porcelain or gold may last longer.
Yes, tooth-coloured composite fillings are made from biocompatible materials that bond strongly to your tooth structure. They provide excellent durability, restore the tooth’s appearance, and are a safe, reliable choice for both front and back teeth.
