Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment below:
How long do teeth restorations typically last?
With good oral hygiene, regular dental reviews and avoiding excessive forces, modern dental crowns, bridges or onlays commonly last ten to fifteen years, often longer, depending on material, location and individual wear patterns.
Is restorative treatment painful?
Procedures are performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during treatment. Mild soreness or sensitivity afterwards is normal, usually managed with simple pain relief and our post-op guidance.
Can I eat normally after restorative treatments?
Avoid hard or sticky foods for a short period and expect temporary sensitivity. Once restorations have fully settled, you can resume normal eating, following care advice to protect your new restorations.
