Dental fillings

Tooth restoration after decay or minor damage, with the goal of preserving as much healthy tooth tissue as possible and restoring its natural function.

When is a dental filling needed?

A dental filling is most commonly used when a part of the tooth is damaged by decay, wear, or minor trauma, but there is still enough healthy structure left for a direct restoration.

A fill may be suitable if:
  • You have a cavity that needs to be removed
  • The existing filling is damaged, worn out, or no longer fits properly.
  • A small part of the tooth broke off
  • The tooth is locally worn down
  • it is necessary to restore its natural shape
  • There is enough healthy tissue for a stable reconstruction.

What is a dental filling?

After removing the caries or damaged part of the tooth, the resulting space is restored with a material that re-establishes its shape and function.

Composite fillings can be matched to the natural tooth shade, which is why they are often referred to in everyday speech as white fillings.

The goal is not only to close the damage, but to shape the tooth surface so that it properly participates in mastication and contact with adjacent teeth.

When is a traditional filling no longer sufficient?

The size of the filling is important for tooth stability. If a large part of its structure is lost, the remaining walls may be too weak for a conventional composite filling.

In such situations, a ceramic inlay, onlay, or overlay can be considered, and for even more extensive damage, a dental crown.

During the examination, we assess how much healthy tissue remains and which solution provides the best balance between tooth preservation and required stability.

Removal of damaged tissue

Caries or an old inadequate filling is removed while preserving the healthy part of the tooth.

Filling placement

The material is applied and shaped according to the natural anatomy of the tooth.
05

Finishing

The filling is polished and adjusted to the surrounding surfaces.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is there anything else you are interested in? Contact us and we will get back to you shortly.

Yes. „Plomba“ is the common name for a dental filling used to replace a part of the tooth lost due to caries or other damage.

Local anesthesia is used as needed. Transient sensitivity may occur after the procedure, especially with deeper fillings.

Simpler fillings can usually be done during a single visit. The duration depends on the size and location of the damage.

Durability depends on the size of the filling, the position of the tooth, the bite, oral hygiene, and individual habits.

Replacement may be recommended if the filling is cracked, worn, detached from the tooth, or if new decay has developed at its margin.

Agreed. Decay can appear at the transition between the filling and the natural tooth, which is why regular check-ups are important.

It may be more suitable for larger damages when a classic composite filling no longer provides sufficient stability, and a full crown is not yet necessary.

Not every initial lesion needs to require a filling. Depending on the stage of the caries, location, and patient risk, certain lesions can be monitored or treated preventively.
