Frequently Asked Questions
Which filling lasts the longest?
Ceramic fillings are considered particularly durable and dimensionally stable, while composite fillings are tooth-coloured and gentle on the tooth structure. Which material makes sense for you depends on the size and location of the cavity.
Does getting a filling hurt?
The treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and is generally painless. In the first few days afterwards, the tooth may temporarily be a little sensitive to temperature changes.
How long does a dental filling last?
Depending on the material and the strain it is under, a filling lasts several years to decades. Regular check-ups help detect leaking edges or new decay at an early stage.
