Tooth Bonding & White Fillings in Austin
Enhance Your Smile Today
Some call them white fillings, and some call them composite fillings, and they are an extremely effective and simple cosmetic enhancement. These fillings are bonded to the tooth structure, adding strength back to the tooth as well as sealing the interface between the filling and tooth. We use the rubber dam or the Isolite System for moisture control whenever possible and are very meticulous about our bonding and curing protocol.
Durability of Composite Fillings: What to Expect
Typically, the lifespan of a white filling depends on how large the restoration is compared to the tooth size (smaller ones last longer), as well as the individual patient’s diet and personal care regimen. You should expect them to last about seven to 14 years on average. We have placed many white fillings that were placed with older bonding technology and composite (which doesn’t possess the strength and durability of today’s materials) that are well over 24 years old and still working well.
Typical Lifespan of White Dental Fillings
Although the lasting treatment of fillings can vary, common durations include:
- Some Last 7 Years
- Most white fillings last at least this long.
- Some last 14 years
- It’s very common for them to last 14 years.
