Common Questions
Composite Fillings FAQs
What are composite fillings made of?
Composite fillings use a tooth-colored resin blended with fine glass particles. The material is selected to closely match the shade of your natural tooth.
How long does a composite filling appointment take?
Many fillings can be completed in one visit. The exact time depends on the size and location of the cavity and how many teeth need treatment.
How long do tooth-colored fillings last?
Composite fillings can last for many years with good oral hygiene and routine dental examinations. Grinding, biting hard objects, and the size of the restoration can affect longevity.
Can I eat after getting a composite filling?
The filling hardens during the appointment, but your mouth may remain numb for a while. Wait until normal sensation returns before chewing to avoid biting your cheek or tongue.
A cavity won't fix itself.
The sooner a cavity is treated, the smaller and simpler the filling. Let's take care of it before it grows.
