How many minutes does it take for a cavity filling?

Answer 1

Drills n' suchThe entire appointment will usually take 30-60 minutes. AnswerIf the dentist numbs you, there is a 5-10 minute wait for you to be frozen. Depending on how big is the cavity, the drilling takes between 5 and 15 minutes. Filling goes by very quickly and is only about 3-5 minutes and polishing is also about 5 minutes. It goes by very quickly and you shouldn't be nervous because it will be over before you know it.

Answer 2

Well, it kinda depends on how serious of a cavity it is. If it is a minor one, then it shouldn't take any longer than 20-30 minutes. If it is a deep serious one, then it might take up to an hour.

Answer 3

It really depends on how big the filling is. There is no specific time range.

Answer 4

To drill only one cavity it takes only about five to ten minutes after they numb your mouth. The time can even take less depending on the cavity. It usually doesn't hurt.

Answer 5

It depends on the dentist, but roughly about 30 - 45 minutes.

Answer 6

It all depends of how big your filling is located, of how rapidly your dentist works, and of where your tooth is located (front versus back tooth).
