Frequently Asked Questions

What are dental fillings, and how do I know if I need one?

Dental fillings repair damage caused by decay or small fractures. When a cavity is present, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed and replaced with filling material to restore strength, function, and appearance.

What types of fillings do you offer?

At Williams Family Dentistry, we offer composite (tooth-colored), amalgam (silver), gold, and ceramic fillings. We usually recommend composite for a more natural look, but we’ll help you choose based on tooth location, budget, and personal preference.

How long do dental fillings last?

The lifespan of a filling depends on the material, your oral health, and how much stress the tooth endures. Composite fillings last about 5-10 years, while amalgam and gold can last 15 years or more. Regular checkups help us monitor your fillings and keep them in good condition.

Will getting a filling hurt?

Your comfort is our priority. A local anesthetic is administered to numb the area, so most patients feel little to no discomfort during the procedure. Some sensitivity afterward is normal but typically fades within a few days.
