Dental Fillings FAQS
How long does it take to receive a dental filling?
The process typically takes about an hour, depending on the size and location of the cavity and the type of filling material.
Does getting a tooth filling hurt?
No, the procedure is pain-free. The area is numbed with local anesthesia to ensure comfort, and sedation options are available for nervous patients.
Can I eat after getting a filling?
Yes, you can eat immediately after getting a white filling. However, it’s advisable to wait until the anesthesia wears off to avoid accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.
How long do white fillings last?
With proper care, white fillings can last 7-10 years, similar to amalgam fillings. Their longevity can vary depending on their location in the mouth and your oral hygiene habits.
Our approach
White filling or onlay?
A white filling bonds well and fills the cavity, but if the filling is very large the remaining walls of the tooth can be thin, and under pressure a thin wall can eventually fracture. Where the walls are thin or half the tooth is gone, we recommend an onlay instead, because losing a wall below the gum can mean losing the tooth.
When a filling keeps failing, we ask whether the bite has been assessed. Your bite is not static, and understanding where the stress falls lets the filling be designed to take that area out of the stress.

“An onlay is like a baseball cap that sits over the tooth to protect any walls.”
