How Long Do Dental Fillings Last?

Why does it matter what fillings are made from? Each type of filling is made from different materials, meaning the daily wear and tear will break down the material at a different rate. Composite fillings can last for seven to 10 years, while amalgam fillings can last 10 to 15 years. Many factors can affect the life of your fillings. If you grind your teeth or eat a lot of sugary foods, for example, your fillings may not last as long.
