Important considerations for resin treatments
To get the maximum benefit from resin restorations, it is important to keep in mind:
Limitations and Maintenance:
- Average useful life 5-7 years depending on care and location
- Need for periodic replacement to prevent leaks and secondary caries
- Not recommended for very extensive restorations. where other materials such as inlays or crowns may be more appropriate
- Require excellent oral hygiene to maximize durability
- May stain with certain foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, red wine
When are resins ideal and when to consider other options?
Resins are the ideal choice for:
- Small and medium caries
- Visible areas where aesthetics is paramount
- Patients with good oral hygiene
- Restorations requiring minimal preparations
However, for more complex cases, we can recommend:

Frequently asked questions about dental resins
Are dental resin restorations painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the placement. Some people may experience slight sensitivity after the treatment, which usually disappears within a few days.
How long do resin restorations last?
With proper care, resins can last between 5-7 years. Factors such as the location of the restoration, hygiene habits, diet and whether bruxism is present significantly influence their longevity.
Do resins stain over time?
Modern resins are fairly stain resistant, but are not completely immune. Frequent consumption of coffee, tea, red wine, curry or tobacco can cause some discoloration over time, although periodic polishing techniques can rejuvenate them.
Can old amalgams be replaced by resins?
Yes, it is possible to replace old amalgams with resin restorations, significantly improving esthetics and eliminating mercury content. However, this decision should be based on a clinical evaluation to determine whether replacement is beneficial in each individual case.
At Sonrisa Para Todos, we combine science and art for restorations that are indistinguishable from your natural teeth.
