Frequently Asked Questions

Do dental fillings hurt?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia so that you won’t feel pain during treatment. You may feel mild sensitivity afterward, but it usually resolves quickly.

How long does a filling take?

Most dental fillings take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and location of the cavity.

Can cavities heal without fillings?

No, once a cavity forms, it cannot heal on its own. The decay must be removed and replaced with a filling to restore the tooth.

Are tooth-coloured fillings better?

Tooth-coloured (composite) fillings are highly popular because they blend naturally with your teeth and provide strong, durable results.

Can I eat after a dental filling?

Yes, but it’s best to wait until the numbness wears off. Avoid hard or sticky foods for the first 24 hours.
