Lost or Loose Fillings
Emergency fix for lost dental fillings.
Anyone with a lost or damaged filling should get it replaced quickly. Delaying can lead to sensitivity, decay, or further damage. It's a simple fix that keeps your tooth strong and protected.
In a quick appointment, the damaged filling is removed and replaced with a strong, natural-looking material. You’ll leave with restored comfort and function. Most patients experience immediate relief with no downtime needed.
Replacing a lost or loose filling usually takes 30–45 minutes. It’s a simple, single-visit procedure. You may be numb for part of the day, but you’ll return to eating and talking normally soon after the anesthesia wears off.
If a filling feels loose or has fallen out, avoid chewing on that side and schedule a visit quickly. Leaving it untreated can lead to decay, pain, or infection. Keep the area clean in the meantime.
There’s no downtime after replacing a filling. You may have mild sensitivity for a day or two. Avoid chewing on the new filling until numbness wears off to prevent biting your cheek or tongue.
