Can I eat after getting a composite filling?

Short Answer: Yes, you can eat after the filling is placed and hardened with a special light. However, it’s best to wait until the numbness wears off to avoid biting your cheek or tongue.

You don’t need to take off work — most patients are in and out in under an hour.

We’ll help you stay comfortable and informed throughout the quick process.
