Nowadays, people are living in a fast-paced community and leading a really busy life. Most of them need to check their schedule in advance, if they want to conduct some sort of dental work. Sometimes it is the duration of dental procedure that accounts for their late manner of seeking dental treatment. Then, how long will it need to get dental filling completely done?  

    In fact, the duration varies among different individuals, resting on the severity of their dental caries. In severe cases, you may need to pay more visits to finish the whole procedure. 

    According to dentists from AKJ, dental filling refers to restoring both the shape and color of the ill tooth through artificial material. With different materials there comes different costs, which range from several hundred to tens of hundreds.  

    In mild cases of dental caries, no damage has been done to dental nerves. What it requires is to get rid of black eroded tissues with the help of dedicated tools, followed by the step of sterilization and fillings. Generally speaking, the materials of filling include resin and glass ionomer. The whole process is simply operated within the buccal cavity, lasting for about half an hour. 

    In sever cases in which bacteria have proliferated to pulp, usually it’s necessary to conduct a root canal therapy which is more complicated and require more visits. On average, one to three visits will be enough to see the completion of the procedure, the number of which can be more or less in line with the specific condition of patients.
