Composite Tooth Filling

Composite dental filling is a procedure to repair a decayed or damaged tooth using a tooth-colored resin. It’s commonly needed to fix cavities or minor cracks. Symptoms may include tooth sensitivity, pain while chewing, or visible holes in the tooth. The decayed area is cleaned, and the composite material is applied, shaped, and hardened to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

Common materials include

  1. Composite resin,
  2. Amalgam (silver),
  3. Amalgam (Gold), and
  4. Porcelain.

You may need a filling if you experience

  1. Tooth sensitivity,
  2. Pain, or
  3. Visible signs of decay such as dark spots or holes

A dental filling can typically be completed in one visit, taking about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the cavity.

Avoid hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours, especially with silver fillings.

Regular brushing and flossing are essential to maintain the filling.

Yes, fillings can wear down, crack, or fall out over time and may need to be replaced, depending on the material used and oral care habits.
