Frequently Asked Questions
How long do fillings last in teeth?
In Santa Paula, dental fillings are designed to last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, largely depending on the material used and the dental care habits of the individual. Consistent oral care and regular dental check-ups can help ensure fillings last as long as possible.
What are the 5 types of filling?
Dental clinics in Santa Paula typically offer five main types of dental fillings: amalgam, composite resin, glass ionomer, gold, and ceramic. The selection of filling type is determined by factors such as patient’s needs, dentist’s advice, and cost considerations.

Dental fillings in Santa Paula can be replaced multiple times as needed, but it should be noted that each replacement might compromise the structural integrity of the tooth. Hence, maintaining good oral hygiene is key to reduce the need for frequent replacements.

The type of Dental Fillings your dentist chooses will depend on the extent of damage caused by decay.
