Frequently Asked Questions About Composite Fillings

How long do composite fillings last?

With consistent oral hygiene and routine checkups, composite fillings can last seven to ten years or longer. Habits like grinding your teeth at night or chewing on hard objects can shorten their lifespan, but our team can talk you through simple ways to protect your restorations for the long run.

 

Can composite fillings replace my old silver fillings?

Absolutely. Many patients visit us specifically to replace aging amalgam restorations that have cracked, worn down, or simply no longer suit the look they want. Because Redd Road Family Dental is a mercury-safe and mercury-free practice, we follow careful protocols during removal to keep the process clean and comfortable from start to finish.

 

Will my filling be noticeable?

Not at all. The composite resin is custom shaded to match the surrounding tooth, so the restoration blends right in. Most people cannot tell the difference between a composite filling and a natural tooth surface, even on a close look.

 

Do you offer options for patients without insurance?

Yes. In addition to being a Delta Dental provider, we accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and CareCredit. We also offer in-house financing for patients who need a flexible payment option. Our team is always happy to walk you through what to expect before any treatment begins.
