How long does a tooth-colored filling last?

0

Tooth-colored fillings are bonded to the tooths surface creating a durable strength that could last up to 7-10 years. The longevity of a tooth-colored filling can vary depending upon size, tooth being restored, maintenance, oral health and patient habits. Smaller, more conservative fillings usually last longer, molars sustain more wear than front teeth, patients with grinding habits will wear restorations faster, regular preventative check up and home care are all essential to determining the life span of your fillings.
