How long do fillings last?
Aug 4th, 2008 by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi DDS
Fillings last somewhere between six to eight years before there is leakage around the fillings and they have to be replaced. But, I have seen fillings that are ok after ten years and I have seen fillings that need to be replaced after four years. This is why it is always best to have regular checkups and have the dentist or hygienist check the fillings.
