Anybody have any idea how long it may take? It’s a composite filing

In my experience, anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes in total. Depends on the size/location of it.
 
On the way there now , looking forward to it being over and hopefully I can surprise myself . Will
Let you all know how it foes fingers crossed. Thank you for all your help and support
 
All done!! She numbed me up right away with no gel but it was no where near as bad as I expected, in my opinion my ear piercing was worse! My tongue began to feel numb but not my lip so she decided to give me a second injection which also really wasn’t that bad ! Then came the drilling I didn’t feel any pain just a strange smell and vibration feeling especially with the other drill, but it was over before I knew it and the filling was placed in layers. She said it was deeper than expected and that I can expect some sensitivity in the tooth which may last for around 3 months but fingers crossed it isn’t too bad, I was in there for half an hour but I didn’t feel like rhat at all. To anyone worrying it really is okay I worried myself sick for something that was absolutely fine and now I just feel numb and look like I’ve had Botox !!
 
I couldn’t have done it without you all thank you!
 
Glad to hear it went so well! I hope that mine goes just as smoothly! ?

Thank you!! It’s been fine so far just pain in my jaw/gum area guessing this could be from the injection as it’s only tender to touch
