Fillings

Dental caries is the most common disease dating back to antiquity, which destroys the tooth structure. During the treatment are removed the caries-affected parts of the tooth and it is filled. A given cavity can be filled with different materials under different filling techniques. This is determined individually and depends on the size and position of the tooth to be treated. The filling materials are roughly divided into soft and solid fillers. Amalgam as a separate material is both liquid and plastic for modeling, and a solid alloy. Amalgam fillers have high resistance and durability and are therefore mainly used in the area of the molars. In our office amalgam fillings are NOT offered for a variety of reasons.

For the visible areas of the teeth, alternative composite filling materials are used. The composite, as a filling material, consists of materials such as glass, ceramics, plastics and quartz particles. After the filling, it is hardened with a blue light. For temporary fillings, which serve only for temporary protection and should be easily removed for further change with permanent filling, different types of cementitious material are used.
