How long does it take to fill a tooth

Many people will have various dental problems. If tooth decay has occurred, many people will have tooth fillings at this time. However, there are many ways to fill teeth, and depending on the severity of tooth decay, it is still necessary to repair the teeth according to the actual situation. Generally speaking, if it is not serious, then the filling time will definitely not be serious. If the tooth damage is more serious, more repairs will be needed. So how long does a general filling take? Let’s take a look together below!

1. There are many factors that affect the length of time a tooth can be used after repair. The first is the timing of filling the tooth. It has a great relationship with the degree, location and shape of tooth decay when the patient visits the doctor.

2. The second thing is the material for filling the tooth. Different materials have different adhesion to tooth cavities. The last step is to fill the cavity in the front teeth. If the tooth cavity is limited to caries, the cavity shape is good, shallow, and not on the adjacent surface of the tooth, then you only need to remove the decayed tissue in the cavity, prepare the cavity shape, disinfect it thoroughly, and fill the cavity with permanent filling materials.

3. A simple filling can be completed in one time, but people who need endodontic treatment usually need to have their teeth filled more than twice, and they must follow the doctor's instructions and return for follow-up visits in time to complete the treatment. If it is just one pill, it will be done very quickly, about an hour will be enough. For teeth filled with Yingong alloy material, it will take 24 hours for it to harden and solidify, and you cannot bite anything with this tooth within this day.

4. How long does it take to fill a tooth? It varies according to each person’s oral condition. Bayi Dental Restoration experts remind our customers: If you don’t fill a small hole, you will suffer from a big hole. If you suffer from caries, you should have a filling and restoration as soon as possible. Early filling treatment has a short course of treatment, low cost and good effect. If you fill it too late, the damage is relatively large, and the dental nerve often needs to be removed, and the procedure will be much more complicated. In this case, it usually takes two or three times to complete the filling.

The above introduces the time required for filling teeth in various situations. We have also learned a lot, but I believe that we don’t want to fill teeth unless it is absolutely necessary. Therefore, in normal times, we’d better protect our teeth so as to reduce unnecessary trouble and pain. Be sure to protect your teeth.
