Tooth-Coloured Composite Restorations: common questions
Will a composite filling hurt?
Composite fillings are generally comfortable, and local anaesthesia can be used to keep you pain-free during the procedure. Any mild sensitivity usually settles within a day or two.
How long do composite restorations last?
With good brushing, flossing and regular check-ups they last many years. We check them at every visit.
