Aesthetic filling is the most frequent corrective treatment for decayed or otherwise damaged teeth.

The task of the filling is to replace the missing part after the removal of the decayed tooth material. Its aim is to restore the tooth’s masticating function and aesthetic appearance.

Fillings can be used for the treatment of small or medium-size decays on both front and molar teeth. The fillings are also used for the replacement of the tips of incisors and eye-teeth and the closure of cervical wear.

Years ago the dental therapeutic possibilities were very limited and most frequently amalgam fillings were used. The amalgam filling has proved to be a good solution for long decades but it falls short of today’s aesthetic requirements.

The amalgam while being not at all aesthetic has its health properties regularly questioned.

It is understandable that people of today’s modern age are no longer satisfied with grey-coloured fillings, and want to make sure that their fillings are entirely without health-risks.

Aesthetic dentistry uses ever less metals. Today the filling material is either a porcelain or artificial (synthetic) resin based material, and the fillings made of these materials harmonize with the colour of the tooth and function well in the long run.

The greyish-black amalgam belongs already to the past. It can be perfectly replaced by aesthetic materials for permanent, nice fillings and replacements.

With the help of aesthetic fillings, as its name also shows, perfect cosmetic results may be reached. Aesthetic filling materials are available in different colour shades; the dentist chooses the suitable colour for the patient with the help of a colour chart.

The newest filling materials facilitate the simultaneous application of more colour shades to create a particular tooth colour. The dentist applies the different shades on the tooth’s surface in layers.

Thereby a filling or replacement that is in harmony with the colour of the original tooth can be reached.

The hardening of the material is reached with the help of a photo-polymerizing lamp. The filling made this way is immediately ready for use.

Nowadays it plays a very important part in our lives to show ourselves as faultless, strong and beautiful as possible, and our smile became a way of promoting ourselves. If we have the dark, old fillings that often look decayed changed for new, aesthetic, tooth-coloured, almost invisible fillings, our smile will radiate neatness and health.

Inlay

Instead of traditional fillings there is a possibility to make previously prepared inlays.

The inlay is a filling which is prepared previously by a technician on the basis of an impression made of the formed cavity. It is put into the cavity in a solid state and fixed there. The inlay can fill an extensive missing tooth part.

It has numerous advantages as opposed to fillings both aesthetically and functionally. Its life span is much longer than that of fillings.

The inlay/onlay is a type of filling, which is prepared in a technician’s laboratory on the basis of an impression.

Inlays offer an excellent solution in the treatment of molar teeth to restore the missing tooth part and make the teeth look more beautiful. With their application it is possible to faithfully mimic the original colour shade and individual colouring of any tooth so that you will have a harmonic and pleasant smile.

As for its base material, it can be made of gold, porcelain and rigid plastic.

Gold inlay

Many people think that it is the best tooth filling. Gold can be applied in a very thin, filmy layer, thereby creating an optimal closure. Gold itself is very tissue-friendly, a material tolerated by our bodies.

Gold is not only a timelessly elegant material but also a material that can be worked on accurately by the technician.

If for you the life span of the filling is the most important, choose a gold inlay.

Ceramic inlay

From an aesthetic point of view, ceramic inlay is doubtlessly the most beautiful alternative for the restoration of side tooth areas instead of amalgam. Since aesthetic considerations are of prime importance for you, ceramic inlay is the right solution. It is the porcelain material which is suitable from the point of view of colour and transparency. The porcelain inlay is definitely the most beautiful alternative for amalgam fillings.

Belle-Glass inlay

The placement of a rigid plastic filling prepared by the technician is a favourable alternative to amalgam fillings. Unlike normal plastic materials which are incorporated directly in the patient’s mouth, the material of the inlays prepared by the laboratory is more balanced, due to its shrinking dependant on hardening. Plastic inlays fit perfectly to the natural tooth colour and guarantee good, aesthetic results.
