Aesthetic crowns
Crowns that protect a weakened tooth and restore its natural appearance and full function.
Aesthetic fillings
Esthetic fillings are used to restore teeth damaged by caries, wear, or minor trauma. They are shaped to blend naturally in color and appearance with your smile.
CANDIDATES
Is an aesthetic filling the right solution for you?
An aesthetic filling can be appropriate when it is necessary to restore a small or medium-sized part of a tooth while preserving as much healthy tooth tissue as possible.
The exact solution depends on the position of the tooth, the extent of the damage, and the forces to which the tooth is exposed. Therefore, the suitability of the filling is always evaluated during an examination.

Esthetic fillings can be an option if:
-
You have a cavity that needs to be removed and the missing part of the tooth restored.
-
you have an old or damaged filling that needs to be replaced
-
you notice a small crack or chipped edge of a tooth
-
you want to replace the visible dark filling with a more aesthetically acceptable solution
-
you have a worn or misshapen tooth part
-
you want to close a minor gap or correct the shape of an individual tooth, when clinically justified
A dental restoration that adapts to its natural appearance
Esthetic fillings, often known as white fillings, are made of a composite material that can be color-matched to the natural shade of the tooth. They are used after caries removal, as well as for restoring minor damage, cracks, or worn parts of the tooth.
Composite is a material applied in layers, shaped according to the tooth anatomy, and then cured with a special light. The goal is not just to close the damage, but to restore the correct shape, contact with adjacent teeth, and bite function.
When creating fillings, we strive to preserve as much healthy tooth tissue as possible and achieve a result that blends harmoniously with the rest of the tooth.

Aesthetic filling or dental crown?
A composite filling is most commonly used when there is enough healthy tooth tissue remaining to support the restored part of the tooth. The greater the damage, the more important it is to assess whether the filling can withstand chewing forces in the long term.
If a large part of the tooth is lost, if the walls are extremely thin, or if the tooth has been previously endodontically treated, a crown, inlay, or onlay can provide greater stability. The decision is made not only based on the size of the visible damage, but also according to the position of the tooth, the bite, and the condition of the surrounding tissue.
The goal is to choose the least invasive solution that can simultaneously protect the tooth and restore its reliable function.

These are different names for a similar type of restoration. The term white filling is commonly used for a composite filling whose color is adjusted to the natural shade of the tooth.
Simpler fillings can often be made in a single visit. The duration of the procedure depends on the size of the damage, the position of the tooth, and the complexity of the shaping.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia as needed. During the procedure, you may feel pressure or vibrations, but the goal is to keep discomfort to a minimum. Post-procedure sensitivity may be temporarily present in some patients.
Durability depends on the size of the filling, tooth position, bite forces, oral hygiene, and patient habits. Regular check-ups help timely detect wear or changes at the edges of the fillings.
Smaller gaps can in certain cases be corrected with composite bonding. Before the procedure, it is necessary to evaluate the tooth position, bite, and smile proportions to ensure the change is functionally and aesthetically acceptable.
Not always. If a larger part of the tooth is lost or the remaining structure is weakened, an inlay, onlay, or crown can provide more stable protection. The most suitable solution is assessed based on a clinical examination and diagnostics.
