When you visit the dentist, it’s common to hear that you have a cavity that needs to be filled. Filling a cavity can be daunting, especially if you’re unsure how long it will take. The length of time it takes to fill a cavity depends on various factors, including the filling size, the number of surfaces of the filling, the number of fillings, the experience of the dentist, and any complications that may arise during the procedure. Typically it will take between 20-30 minutes to fill a single cavity. For those interested in more information for determining exactly how long it takes to fill their cavity, this article has been created to provide some helpful information.

Dental cavities are one of the most common worldwide dental problems, affecting millions yearly. Cavities are caused by decay and bacteria that break down the tooth’s enamel, eventually forming a hole or a cavity, which requires a dental filling to fix. These holes can cause a lot of pain and discomfort and, if left untreated, can lead to more serious dental problems.

Dental cavities are not always visible to the naked eye, so dentists recommend annual X-rays. Dental X-rays provide additional information beyond what is visible during a clinical oral examination. These include proximal dental caries (cavities between teeth) and early carious lesions (tiny cavities) that are too small to be detected otherwise. If they are caught early using dental X-rays, cavities can be reversed, preventing more expensive dental procedures from occurring.

This article will explore what a cavity looks like on an X-ray and how to tell what type of treatment you need.
