Frequently asked questions about tooth colored fillings
Most fillings take one visit, often under an hour for a small cavity. Larger repairs can take longer, especially if the tooth needs extra shaping or if several surfaces are involved. The exact time depends on the tooth, the size of the decay, and whether numbing or sedation is used.
Composite material is selected to blend with the surrounding enamel as closely as possible. The match depends on the tooth shade, lighting, and the location of the repair. Front teeth usually need the most careful colour matching, while back teeth focus more on strength and function.
Yes, many old metal fillings can be replaced if the tooth still has enough healthy structure. The dentist will check for cracks, decay around the edges, and whether a crown would protect the tooth better. Not every old filling needs replacement, so the exam guides the decision.
You may need to wait until numbness wears off so you do not bite your cheek or tongue. After that, most patients can eat normally, though it is wise to avoid very hard or sticky foods right away. The office will give specific aftercare based on the tooth treated.
If the decay is too extensive, a crown may protect the tooth better than a filling. Crowns are estimated at $1,000 to $2,000 and usually take two visits. The exam determines whether the tooth can be repaired conservatively or needs stronger coverage.
Many Florence patients ask about out-of-network benefits because they are crossing from New Jersey into Pennsylvania. Coverage depends on your plan, deductible, and remaining benefits. The office can help you review the details before treatment so there are fewer surprises later.
Yes, oral and IV sedation are available in house if anxiety is a problem. Even for a small filling, some patients prefer extra comfort. The complimentary sedation consultation includes a CBCT scan and a panoramic X-ray so the team can plan the visit carefully.
Call the office as soon as possible, especially if the tooth is painful or sharp. Same-day emergency slots are kept open daily, which can help if you need quick care after a filling breaks, a tooth chips, or decay becomes sensitive.
