Consider Fillings When

  • You have cavities due to tooth decay.
  • There are minor cracks or fractures in your teeth.
  • You need to repair wear from habits like tooth grinding or nail-biting.

Consider Other Options If

  • The tooth damage is extensive, possibly requiring a crown for full coverage.
  • Cosmetic considerations favor veneers or bonding for front teeth enhancements.

The Benefits

  • Quick Procedure: typically done in one visit.
  • Cost-Effective: compared to other dental restoration methods.
  • Aesthetic: modern fillings closely match the color of your natural teeth.

The Drawbacks

  • Fillings, especially those made from composite materials, may not last as long as other restorations like crowns.
  • Depending on the wear and tear, fillings might need to be replaced over time.

Frequently asked.

It's common to feel sensitivity to cold, heat, or pressure after getting a filling, but this usually fades within a few weeks.

Pain after a filling can be due to:

  • The filling affecting your bite, requiring adjustment.
  • Interaction between metal surfaces in fillings, which is temporary.
  • Deep decay necessitating a root canal.
  • Sensitivity in other teeth, a temporary condition known as referred pain.

Replacement may be needed if:

  • Fillings wear down from chewing or grinding.
  • New decay forms under the filling.
  • A large filling or extensive decay compromises the tooth's structure, possibly requiring a crown.

Fillings can fall out due to improper placement, contamination during the procedure, or damage from biting. Regular check-ups can identify and prevent potential issues.
