FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry

  • How long do tooth-colored fillings last?

    With proper care, our high-quality composite fillings typically last 7-10 years or longer. Factors that can affect longevity include your oral hygiene habits, diet, and whether you grind or clench your teeth. During regular check-ups, we'll monitor your fillings and recommend replacement when necessary to prevent further tooth damage.

  • Does getting a crown hurt?

    No, getting a crown should not be painful. We use effective local anesthesia to ensure you're completely comfortable throughout the procedure. After the anesthesia wears off, you may experience some mild sensitivity for a few days, which is normal and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our gentle approach and comfort amenities help make the experience as pleasant as possible.

  • Are tooth-colored fillings as durable as metal fillings?

    Today's advanced composite materials are extremely durable and comparable to traditional amalgam (metal) fillings in most situations. Modern tooth-colored fillings actually bond directly to your tooth structure, providing additional support that metal fillings cannot. For very large fillings in back teeth that experience heavy chewing forces, we'll discuss all options to ensure you receive the most appropriate and long-lasting restoration.


  • Does insurance cover crowns and fillings?

    Most dental insurance plans provide coverage for restorative procedures like fillings and crowns when they're medically necessary. Typically, fillings are covered at a higher percentage (often 80%) than crowns (usually 50%), after any deductible. Our insurance specialists will verify your coverage and explain your benefits before treatment begins. We also offer payment plans for any out-of-pocket expenses.
