Frequently Asked Questions
Does getting a filling hurt?
Local anaesthetic may be used to help ensure your comfort during treatment. Most patients experience minimal discomfort.
How long do fillings last?
The lifespan of a filling depends on factors such as the material used, oral hygiene and biting forces. Regular dental check-ups help monitor your fillings over time.
What is a composite filling?
A composite filling is a tooth-coloured filling material designed to blend naturally with your teeth.
Is a filling different from a crown?
Yes. A filling is used to repair smaller areas of damage or decay, while a crown covers and protects a larger portion of the tooth.
Can I eat normally after a filling?
Yes. You can eat normally after the numbness wears off. We recommend avoiding hard or sticky foods for a few hours.
Are fillings covered by health insurance?
Insurance cover varies depending on your provider and level of extras cover. Patients should check directly with their health fund for details.
How do I care for my filling?
Good oral hygiene, regular brushing and flossing, and routine dental visits help maintain the health of your fillings and teeth.
