Fillings and tooth repair

Tooth repair is the most common dental procedure. It consists of caries removal and tooth reconstruction with permanent and aesthetic material.

How does caries occur?

Dental caries is one of the most widespread diseases today. It is an infectious disease caused by the action of cariogenic bacteria in the oral cavity.
The metabolic product of cariogenic bacteria is acid that destroys enamel and dentin and penetrates the center of the tooth, leading to its complete decay.

1) caries in tooth enamel; 2) caries that has reached the dentin; 3) caries that has reached the dental nerve

Composite fillings – white fillings

A filling is used to replace the lost part of a tooth after caries has been removed, restoring the functionality and aesthetic appearance of the tooth.

Composite filling:

  • restores the tooth to full function
  • mimics the natural color of teeth
  • allows you to imitate natural tooth characteristics and shapes

Today’s composites are technologically advanced materials because they are based on nanoparticles.

Ceramic fillings – prosthetic aesthetic fillings

Inlay, onlay or overlay

Inlays, onlays and overlays are today one of the best ways to restore teeth affected by caries, especially larger parts of the tooth. They are ceramic inserts that will perfectly replace the missing part of the tooth.

An inlay, onlay, or overlay provides greater durability and strength to the filling.

Ceramic fillings are made by CEREK digitized protocol in the laboratory with precise CAD/CAM technology. Today’s digital processes allow inlay, onlay or overlay fillings to be made much faster than before, which means that you will be able to have several ready-made ceramic fillings in one visit to the dentist. .

Endodontic dental treatment

In the event of involvement of the dental pulp, endodontic treatment of the tooth will be necessary in addition to crown reconstruction.

Since involvement of the dental pulp most often means greater loss of the dental crown, but also due to the loss of tooth vitality, the remaining part of the dental crown needs to be protected with a prosthetic dental crown.
