You might need a dental filling if you have a cavity caused by tooth decay. Fillings restore the damaged part of your tooth, stop further decay, and protect your tooth from breaking. They also help reduce pain or sensitivity caused by holes or cracks. If you notice tooth pain, visible holes, or dark spots, a dentist can check if a filling is needed to keep your smile healthy.
A cavity filling usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. The time depends on the size of the cavity and the type of filling material used. During the appointment, the dentist will numb the area, remove the decay, and fill the tooth. Most people find the process quick and comfortable, with little downtime afterward.

The best type of dental filling depends on your needs, budget, and the location of the cavity. Composite fillings are popular for front teeth due to their natural look. Amalgam fillings are strong and cost-effective, often used for back teeth. Your dentist can recommend the right option for you.
Amalgam fillings are made from a mix of metals including silver, mercury, tin, and copper. They are durable and affordable but have a silver color, which makes them less popular for visible teeth. Modern dentistry uses safe levels of mercury in these fillings.
Back teeth endure more chewing pressure, so fillings here need to be strong and durable. Materials like amalgam or porcelain are often chosen for back tooth fillings to withstand daily wear and tear.
Tooth fillings typically last between 5 and 15 years, depending on the material and how well you care for your teeth. Porcelain and gold fillings last longer, while composite fillings may need replacement sooner.
Most patients feel little to no pain during a filling thanks to local anesthesia. You might experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after the procedure, but it usually goes away quickly.
Inlays and onlays are used for larger cavities or damage where a regular filling is not enough, but a full crown isn’t needed. They are custom-made to fit your tooth and provide strong, long-lasting repair.
