- 4He polishes it and checks your bite. So nothing feels odd when you close your mouth.

- You can eat normally the same day.
- If one side feels high when you bite, let him know so he can adjust it.
Questions
Will it show?
The filling is matched to your tooth color. In most cases it doesn't show.

Years, with good brushing at home and checkups. Biting hard things, like ice or pens, wears it down faster.
