Dental fillings are considered a routine procedure and are one of the most common methods of preserving teeth. Fillings are made of plastic materials that the dentist places into the prepared tooth opening in a shape suitable for further processing and hardening.
Metal amalgam fillings, which were used several years ago, are now being replaced by aesthetic composite materials.
Prices for sealing: The price of the filling depends on the surface to be treated and the volume of the filling. You can get acquainted with our estimated prices here.
The most common cause of holes in teeth is caries. The essence of the process is that the minerals contained in tooth enamel and dentine dissolve. As a result, the dental tissue weakens, softens, and a cavity forms.
The good news is that by maintaining proper oral hygiene, namely regular, thorough and professional brushing of teeth, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of caries. Regular dental health checks, at least once a year, at dental examinations also contribute to the prevention of caries.
Of course, this is possible only in the case of timely detection of the initial stage of caries – in other cases, only dental fillings remain.
For filling holes in teeth and treating cervical caries, composite fillings are used, which are available in various shades and are firmly fixed when exposed to light. These fillings will perfectly match the color of your own teeth, allowing you to achieve a natural result even on the front teeth. After the formation of the chewing surface of the posterior teeth, the treated teeth can be used in the same way as in their original state.
