FAQs
What types of fillings do you offer at North Oak Family Dental Care?
We provide several options, including tooth-colored composite fillings, amalgam (silver) fillings, and ceramic fillings. Our dentists will recommend the best choice based on your needs and preferences.
How long does a dental filling procedure take?
Most fillings can be completed in one visit, typically lasting between 20 to 60 minutes depending on the size and location of the cavity.
Are tooth-colored fillings as strong as traditional silver fillings?
Modern composite resin fillings are quite durable and can withstand normal chewing forces, making them an excellent choice for visible areas. However, for larger cavities or back molars, your dentist may suggest alternatives based on strength requirements.
Will I feel pain after getting a filling?
Some sensitivity or mild discomfort is normal for a few days after the procedure, but it usually subsides quickly. If pain persists, contact us at (816) 436-2525 for advice.
How can I care for my fillings to make them last longer?
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing, and visiting North Oak Family Dental Care regularly. Avoid chewing very hard foods that can damage fillings.
