Fillings

Fillings can be made of the “traditional” amalgam, which is a metal alloy becoming solid at room temperature, or of a mixture of “plastic” and porcelain (white filling), which realistically reproduces the natural color of the tooth, and which is made solid using a polymerization lamp.

Fillings can also be made in dental technical laboratories, in the form of so-called inlays. The dentist takes an impression of the tooth and the cavity formed inside of it. The inlays can be of plastic, porcelain or gold. The dental technician creates the missing part of the tooth, and the dentist affixes it to the prepared tooth surface. The missing part can thus be perfectly restored. This is also the most suitable method for replacing old, extensive amalgam fillings.
