If you have replaced the same filling more than once, you likely want to know what makes one last. No one can give you a number, but we can explain which factors are in play.
Let's find a time
It is frustrating when a repair gives out and you are back where you started. Riverbend residents asking why that keeps happening can have the tooth examined at Winnipeg North Dental, on McPhillips Street in Winnipeg.
How long a restoration serves you has no fixed answer, because it is shaped by many things at once. Some of them are decided in planning and placement, while others, such as cleaning and habits, carry on in your everyday life for years afterward.
Explore tooth-colored restorations
A restoration that suits the size of the damage has a sounder footing from the outset.
Adhesive placement depends on the working area being suitably isolated.
Cleaning, diet and dental visits influence what happens around the repair later.
Thinking about longevity in two groups can make it easier to see where a past repair may have run into trouble, and where a new one might fare differently.
The clinical choices are made with the size, location and demands of the repair in mind.
Everyday life keeps working on any restoration, which is why these influences should be part of the discussion.
This overview cannot predict what any one repair will do. It can, however, help you ask better questions at your assessment.
When a repair has failed before, it is reasonable to look at why as well as how to fix it. Your visit might follow a path something like this.
Request your visitTell us how many times it has been repaired, what failed each time, and how it felt beforehand.
Cracks, the amount of remaining support, your bite and new decay are reviewed, along with dental images if appropriate.
Would another design give better support? A partial repair, a new filling or a custom option are compared openly.
Treatment proceeds as agreed, and the final bite, contact and finish are checked with long-term maintenance in mind.
Details that seem trivial can matter: where a filling broke, what you were eating, or whether the tooth had been aching. Whatever you remember is worth telling us.
When more than one approach is possible, it is fair to ask about the cost of each and to think about them over the longer term.
From the front desk to the chair, ask away.
Going through treatment again on the same tooth can leave you tired and a bit skeptical. Tell us plainly how it has gone so far, and feel free to question what we suggest.
What might go wrong this time? It is an entirely fair thing to ask us.
A tooth that has been treated repeatedly can be sensitive, so let us know how yours behaves.
We would rather discuss the limits of a repair with you than leave you guessing.
Everyday upkeep
You will not have total control over how long a restoration serves you, yet the part you do control is largely made up of ordinary things repeated over the years.
Ask your hygienist to show you where plaque tends to gather around your particular restoration.
Opening packages, biting thread and crunching ice are all worth bringing up if you tend to do them.
New decay and margin changes are easier to discuss when somebody is looking at them periodically.
If the restored tooth gets a new crack, ache or rough edge, ring the clinic soon rather than waiting it out.

Ask our teamAny specific number would be misleading, since size, material, your bite, hygiene, habits, bonding and new decay all have an influence. Your dentist can talk about the factors most relevant to your tooth.
Possible reasons include a large repair with limited support, heavy bite forces or new decay at the edge. An examination of the tooth is the way to look for what happened in your case.
They are chosen for different situations, so a blanket comparison is not very useful. The decision rests on the amount of damage and the forces on that tooth.
A filling in stable condition may simply be monitored, because replacing it also removes material. Replacement becomes a discussion when findings such as recurrent decay or fracture call for it.
Composite surfaces and margins can stain with time. Having a surface like that looked at helps determine if anything further should be done, as polishing or replacement may not be required.
