Victory Smiles
We see cavities all the time. If you notice a cavity forming and want to prevent it from getting worse, we can help by treating the decay before it spreads. For many patients, treatment for a cavity requires a filling.
Furthermore, we can also use dental fillings to resolve small tooth cracks. They are a simple dental treatment to restore your tooth from a cavity or crack.
But how long will a dental filling last?
Read on to find out more about the lifespan of tooth fillings and how to help them last.
How long do dental fillings last? The material used can make a difference. Gold and silver used to be the most common materials, but they can be an eyesore.
Here’s a closer look based on the tooth-filling material:
While the filling material plays a role, patients can do several things to make sure their fillings last as long as possible. Here are some tips.
To make sure your dental restorations last as long as possible, brush twice a day and floss daily. Wear a night mouth guard if you grind or clench your teeth, and wear a sports mouth guard for any high-impact sports and activities. Visit the dentist at least once every six months for a professional teeth cleaning and exam.
