Aesthetics and durability in one. Ceramic fillings look like real teeth and last for years.
Ceramic fillings represent an aesthetic and long-term reliable solution for major tooth damage, where a classic filling is no longer sufficient, but a crown is not yet necessary. They are custom-made, which ensures their perfect fit and function.
The dentist will check the condition and damage of your tooth and then determine whether a ceramic filling is an appropriate solution.
The tooth will be gently cleaned of decay and shaped to allow for precise placement of the filling.
They will then take an impression or digital 3D scan of the tooth. This data will be sent to a dental laboratory, which will produce a custom-made ceramic filling – in shape, size, and color.
Until the final filling is made (usually within a few days), the dentist will place a temporary filling on the tooth to prevent irritation or damage.
The dentist places the finished ceramic filling into the prepared tooth, checks its shape, height, and contact with neighboring teeth, and then permanently bonds it with a special dental cement.
If you are looking for a highly aesthetic, precise-fitting, and durable replacement that feels like a natural part of your teeth, a ceramic filling may be the right choice for you. We will be happy to discuss all of your options with you during your initial consultation.
This is a modern, custom-made filling made of high-quality ceramic that replaces the damaged part of the tooth. Thanks to its appearance and strength, it is almost indistinguishable from a natural tooth.
Ceramic fillings are used for more severe tooth damage, when a traditional filling is no longer possible, but a crown is still not necessary. They are most often applied to molars or premolars, where greater strength and long-term stability are needed.
Ceramic fillings are more aesthetic, more durable, more wear-resistant, and adhere better to the tooth. In addition, they maintain color stability and do not affect the surrounding tissues.
No, the procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is painless. The patient may feel only a slight tenderness after the treatment, but the sensitivity will quickly subside.
Usually, 2 visits are required. During the first, the tooth is prepared and an impression is taken (or a 3D scan is made), and during the second, the finished filling is placed.
With proper hygiene and regular check-ups, a filling can last 10-15 years or even more. It is one of the most durable forms of filling.
No, it is enough to follow normal oral hygiene, use interdental appliances, and go for regular check-ups and dental hygiene.
The price of a ceramic filling varies depending on the extent of the treatment and the material used. The approximate price will be determined by the dentist after an examination and a treatment plan.
