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.
