How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?
A common question is, “how long do dental fillings last?” While it depends on the type of filling and where it’s placed, with good dental care and regular check-ups, fillings can last for many years. At nib Dental, we’ll provide tips to help your filling stay strong and your teeth healthy.

Eating After a Dental Filling
Most fillings let you return to normal eating almost immediately. Depending on the filling type, your dentist may recommend avoiding hard or sticky foods for a short period. We’ll guide you on how to care for your new filling so it lasts.
