Do I Need a Dental Filling?
Even with good brushing habits and regular dental visits, cavities can still happen. They can occur in the hard-to-reach places in the back of your mouth, where you may not be able to get to by brushing alone. It can sometimes be difficult to know that you have a cavity due to the size or location of the cavity in your mouth. Here are some signs that it is time to see your dentist:
- Toothache
- Sensitivity to temperature or pressure
- A pit or rough spot in the surface of your tooth

How Do Tooth-colored Fillings Work?
Also known as white fillings or composite fillings, tooth-colored dental fillings are made from composite resin. This material consists of dental-grade plastic and glass-ceramic particles for a metal-free restoration. Unlike silver fillings, composite resin can be shaded to match the surrounding tooth for a natural, lifelike repair. The resin also chemically bonds to the structure of your tooth for a long-lasting restoration.

How Long Do Tooth-colored Fillings Last?
The lifetime of your restoration depends on your overall oral health. By practicing dental hygiene and attending your regularly scheduled checkups, you can expect your filling to last up to 10 years. If you experience any chipping or cracking, be sure to schedule an appointment with our office. Your filling may need to be repaired or replaced.
