Dental Fillings

With dental filling, the function and morphology of a tooth with carious damage is restored. The specialist first removes the damaged part from the tooth, cleans this area and fills the cavity with one of the materials with which fillings are made.

The clinical examination by a dentist is the only way to correctly assess the condition of the teeth, identify carious lesions and assess the necessity of a filling. With a timely and correct diagnosis, more serious and irreversible problems can be prevented. For this reason any suspicion or discomfort should lead to the dental chair.

Your dentist should talk about the pros and cons of each material and which one is most suitable for you.

Metal: It is very durable, but it does not have a beautiful aesthetic effect, as it has a different color from the natural tooth.

Metal-ceramic: it has great durability and a beautiful aesthetic effect.

All-ceramic: It has a very beautiful aesthetic effect but reduced durability. In addition, its cost is quite high and it is contraindicated in patients with bruxism

Zirconium: it has a very beautiful aesthetic effect, great durability and is nowadays used very often.
