The longevity of a filling depends on the type of material used and how well you care for your teeth. On average, composite (tooth-colored) fillings can last between 5 and 10 years, while amalgam (metal) fillings may last 10 to 15 years or longer.
Most fillings need to be replaced every 5 to 15 years, depending on the material and wear.

There are several types of dental fillings, each with its own advantages. The best option for you depends on the location of the filling, the extent of the damage, and your aesthetic preferences.
Most filling procedures at My Dentist Canberra are completed in 30-60 minutes, depending on the size and number of fillings needed.
If you’re experiencing tooth pain or have lost a filling, don’t wait—we offer prompt emergency dental care for Canberra residents. Our Bruce clinic provides same-day emergency appointments whenever possible, with extended hours including weekends to address your urgent dental needs.
Signs you may need an emergency filling:

After getting a filling, it’s important to follow your dentist’s aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and longevity. You may experience some numbness or sensitivity for a few hours, but this is temporary. We recommend avoiding hard or sticky foods immediately after the procedure.
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during the filling procedure at My Dentist Canberra. Dr. Bharti uses effective local anesthesia to numb the area completely, ensuring a pain-free experience. After the procedure, some minor sensitivity is normal but typically subsides within a few days.
A tooth can be filled multiple times, but repeated fillings may weaken the tooth structure. If a tooth has significant damage, Dr. Bharti might recommend alternatives like a crown to provide better protection and longevity.
Composite (white) fillings require more skill and time to place properly, as they must be applied in layers and bonded to the tooth structure. The materials are also more expensive than traditional amalgam. However, many patients feel the aesthetic advantage is worth the additional cost.
You should wait until the numbness wears off completely before eating, typically 1-2 hours after your appointment. This prevents accidentally biting your cheek or tongue.
Signs that a filling may need replacement include sensitivity, pain when biting down, visible cracks or wear, rough edges, or dark lines around the filling margin. Regular dental check-ups help catch these issues early.
