Understanding dental fillings

Dental fillings are commonly used to repair teeth that have been affected by cavities, decay, fractures, or other forms of damage. By filling in the space left by decay or injury, fillings restore the tooth’s structure, integrity, and function, preventing further deterioration and preserving natural teeth whenever possible.

FAQs

What types of dental fillings do you offer?

At Novo Dental Practice, we offer a variety of dental filling materials, including composite resin, porcelain, and glass ionomer. Each material has its unique characteristics and benefits, and our dentist will recommend the most suitable option based on your individual needs, preferences, and budget.

How long do dental fillings last?

The lifespan of a dental filling depends on various factors, including the type of filling material used, the location of the filling, oral hygiene practices, and dietary habits. On average, dental fillings can last anywhere from five to fifteen years or more with proper care and maintenance.

Are dental fillings painful?

Our dental team takes every measure to ensure patient comfort during dental filling procedures, such as warming the local anaesthesia to body temperature before application and using very fine needles.

While some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity during the procedure, warm local anaesthesia is often administered to minimise any pain or discomfort. After the procedure, patients may experience temporary sensitivity, but this typically subsides within a few days.

How can I care for my dental fillings?

Maintaining good oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, daily interdental cleaning, and regular dental check-ups, is essential for the longevity of dental fillings.

Avoiding hard or sticky foods, refraining from biting down on hard objects, and wearing a mouthguard during sports or activities can also help protect your fillings from damage.
