Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental restorations last?

The lifespan of dental restorations varies depending on the type and your oral care habits. With proper care and regular dental check-ups: tooth-colored fillings typically last 5-10 years, crowns and bridges 10-15 years or longer, inlays/onlays 10-30 years, and dentures about 5-10 years before needing adjustment or replacement.

Are dental restorations painful?

Most restorative procedures are performed with local anesthesia, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the treatment. We also offer sedation options for patients with dental anxiety. After certain procedures, you may experience temporary sensitivity, which typically subsides within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

How do I care for my dental restorations?

Maintaining your dental restorations requires consistent oral hygiene: brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss daily, use an antimicrobial mouthwash, avoid chewing hard foods or objects with your restorations, wear a nightguard if you grind your teeth, and attend regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Following these practices will help extend the life of your restorations.

Will my dental insurance cover restorative treatments?

Most dental insurance plans provide some coverage for restorative procedures, typically considering them necessary for oral health rather than purely cosmetic. Coverage varies by plan, with basic restorations like fillings generally receiving higher coverage (70-80%) than major restorations like crowns (50-60%). Our team will help verify your benefits and discuss financial options before beginning treatment.
