How is the order of my repairs decided?+
That depends on the findings, including decay, fractures and any symptoms, along with your own priorities. Your dentist can explain which concerns seem more pressing once each tooth has been assessed.
Can several fillings be done during the same appointment?+
This depends on where the teeth are, how complex each repair is and how you feel about longer visits. It is a sensible thing to ask once your treatment needs are known.
Do all my fillings need to match?+
Each restoration is meant to relate to the teeth around it, and materials may differ from tooth to tooth. A back tooth and a front tooth have different appearance and force requirements.
Is it better to replace my old fillings all at once?+
Replacing them all is not an automatic step. A stable restoration may simply be monitored, and removal can involve additional tooth structure, so the question gets asked separately for each one.
What if most of my teeth are involved?+
Widespread damage may call for a broader discussion than one repair at a time. A comprehensive plan might be raised with you, and an assessment would show if that is appropriate.
