Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a professional cleaning?
We recommend a prophylaxis every 6 months to prevent tartar buildup and detect problems early before they require costly treatments.
Does getting a filling hurt?
No. We use local anesthesia and gentle techniques so that the patient feels no discomfort during the removal of the cavity and the placement of the resin.
What material are the fillings they use made of?
We use modern composite resins that are highly resistant and, unlike old silver amalgams, blend perfectly with the color of your tooth.
Why is cleaning important if I brush my teeth well at home?
Brushing alone cannot remove tartar (hardened plaque). Only a professional with specialized instruments can remove it to prevent gingivitis and bone loss.
How long does a dental filling last?
With good hygiene and regular checkups, a resin filling can last between 7 and 10 years or even longer before needing to be renewed.
