Common questions
Do fillings hurt?
We numb the area first. You may feel pressure. Some people feel mild sensitivity for a few days.
How long does a filling take?
Most take one visit. It depends on how big and how many.
Can I eat after a filling?
Wait until the numbness goes away. That way you do not bite your cheek or tongue. Your dentist gives you instructions.
Can you replace my old metal fillings?
Sometimes. Your dentist checks them and tells you if it makes sense.
