Our cavity dental filling treatments are designed to restore your teeth’s function and appearance and ensure long-term oral health. Whether you need to repair a cavity or prevent one from forming, we’ve got you covered.

How long do tooth fillings last?
Depending on the material used and your oral care routine, tooth fillings can last 5–15 years. Regular checkups can help ensure your fillings stay in great condition.

How can you tell if you have a cavity?
Cavities often cause tooth sensitivity, pain or visible dark spots on the tooth surface. If you suspect a cavity, a professional dental exam can confirm and address the issue early.
-
Can I eat after a tooth filling?
Once the numbing wears off, typically within a few hours, you can eat after a filling. However, avoid hard or sticky foods for at least 24 hours to ensure that the filling sets properly.
