FAQs
What are composite fillings made of?
Composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored resin material that consists of plastic and fine glass particles. This combination allows them to match your natural tooth color while providing strength and durability.
How long do composite fillings last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, composite fillings can last between 5 to 10 years or more. Their lifespan depends on factors like location in the mouth and chewing habits.
Are composite fillings safe?
Yes. Composite fillings do not contain mercury or other harmful metals. They are widely used and considered safe by dental and health organizations worldwide.
Will my composite filling stain over time?
Composite resin can pick up stains from coffee, tea, or tobacco, but with proper care and professional cleanings, they typically maintain their color well.
Is the procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort since local anesthesia is used during the procedure. Any sensitivity afterward usually subsides quickly.
