Frequently Asked Questions About Fillings

Are fillings painful?

Our dentists use local anaesthesia to numb the area before performing the filling procedure, ensuring you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the treatment.

How long do fillings last?

The lifespan of fillings depends on various factors, including the type of filling material used, the size and location of the cavity, and your oral hygiene habits. With proper care and regular dental check-ups, fillings can last for many years.

Can I eat immediately after getting a filling?

It is recommended to wait until the anaesthesia wears off before eating to avoid accidentally biting your cheek, tongue, or lips. Once the numbness subsides, you can resume your regular eating habits.

Do fillings require any special care?

Fillings do not require any special care beyond regular oral hygiene practices, such as brushing twice a day, flossing daily, and attending regular dental check-ups.

Can fillings be repaired if they become damaged?

Yes, fillings can be repaired or replaced if they become damaged or worn over time. Consult your dentist if you notice any changes or discomfort in your fillings.
