Composite (tooth-colored) fillings at Grand Dental Arts are excellent for treating cavities and minor tooth decay. Unfortunately, like many dental restorations, composite fillings don’t last forever. However, your fillings can last as many as 10 years, depending on how well you care for them. Drs. Colleen Williamson and Marya Ijaz in Toms River, New Jersey, share handy tips on how to make your composite fillings last longer.
Composite fillings offer many benefits in dentistry, including natural appearance, safety, and conservative treatment. Composites may not look as strong as their metal counterparts, but have a remarkable lifespan. However, the longevity of your restorations all goes down to how well you care for them.
Observe the tips below to ensure your fillings last long.
The countdown for how long your filling will last starts immediately after you receive one. The positive aspect is that maintaining your fillings doesn’t require significant effort or budget — its care seamlessly integrates with your everyday oral hygiene.
