Does Getting a Tooth Filling Hurt?

Many patients worry about discomfort, but Dr. Elle Belfer ensures a gentle and pain-free experience using local anesthesia. Most people feel only mild sensitivity after treatment, which quickly subsides. Addressing decay early helps protect your teeth and prevent more serious dental issues.

How Long Do Fillings Last?

The lifespan of a filling depends on your oral hygiene and daily habits. Our composite fillings are durable and long-lasting, typically maintaining their strength and appearance for many years. Regular checkups allow Dr. Belfer to monitor your restorations and keep your smile healthy.

What Type of Fillings Do You Use?

At Fresh Smile Dental Studio, we use only BPA-free, mercury-free, and metal-free composite materials in all restorative and cosmetic treatments. These modern materials are strong, safe, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth—offering a beautiful, natural result without the use of harmful substances.

How Do I Know If I Need a Filling?

If you notice tooth sensitivity, pain when chewing, or visible chips or dark spots, it may be time for a filling. During your exam, Dr. Belfer will evaluate your teeth and recommend treatment to restore their health and function.

Can I Eat Normally After a Filling?

You can eat once the numbness wears off—just avoid very hard or sticky foods on the treated side for the rest of the day. Following care instructions and maintaining good oral hygiene will help your filling last for years.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a long search and a bad experience  I am so lucky to find Dr.Belfer recommended to me by Dr Levy who retired. Dr Belfer is a wonderful dentist. She listens and teaches. It's important to have those skills. You never feel anxious and her small staff are polite and patient.    I have nothing but compliments. I hope that for all who encounter  her and her team have the same experience

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Elle Belfer is a talented, skilled, and seasoned dentist. After more than a decade with my trusted dentist, his retirement left me uncertain—until Dr. Belfer took over the practice. After a moment’s hesitation, I went in for my regular six-month cleaning and check-up. From our very first encounter, it was clear she was an outstanding practitioner. She worked quickly, efficiently, and identified several areas needing attention.

What impressed me most at that first visit was the way she combined advanced dental technology with time-honored techniques. Over the course of three follow-up appointments, I experienced her exceptional skill first-hand. While dental procedures are never my favorite activity, Dr. Belfer performed each one with speed, precision, and minimal discomfort. I was especially impressed by new techniques I had never encountered in dentistry before.

I recommend Dr. Belfer and her entire team without reservation.

I had cleaning and fillings done, extremely comfortable procedure and great results. Dr. Belfer was thorough, communicated very clearly to me what my best options were, and helped me book follow ups in a very timely manner. Fantastic family friendly dental clinic, won’t be going anywhere else.
