What is a dental filling?
Dental fillings repair decayed or damaged teeth. The dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the cavity with a durable material. Elevate Dental Wellness uses tooth-colored, mercury-free fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and support your holistic health.
-
Can I eat after a dental filling?
After receiving a dental filling, we recommend waiting until the numbness wears off before eating. Once the numbness subsides, you can eat soft foods and gradually return to your regular diet, taking care to chew on the opposite side of the treated tooth initially.
-
How long do dental fillings last?
The longevity of dental fillings depends on the material used and your oral hygiene practices. On average, tooth-colored fillings can last between 5 to 15 years. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene can help extend the life of your fillings and maintain your overall dental health.
