Modern dental fillings at Stomatologia Edent — aesthetics and durability.
At Stomatologia Edent in Warsaw, we offer state-of-the-art dental fillings that provide not only excellent aesthetics, but also durability and functionality. In our article, we provide an overview of the materials used for fillings and the advantages of modern composite and ceramic fillings.
Overview of materials used for fillings
1. Composites
Composites, also known as light-cured fillings, are one of the most popular materials used in dentistry. They are blends of synthetic resins and fine ceramic particles that are cured using UV light. Composites are available in a variety of shades, allowing them to perfectly match the natural color of the patient's teeth.
2. Ceramics
Ceramics is a material that is gaining popularity in cosmetic dentistry. Ceramic fillings are made of porcelain or other types of dental ceramics, which are characterized by high durability and aesthetics. Ceramics perfectly mimic the natural appearance of teeth, making them virtually invisible after placement.
3. Glass-ionomer (glas-ionomer) fillings.
Glass-ionomer fillings are made from a mixture of polyacrylic acid and fluoro-aluminum-silicon glass. They are particularly useful for fillings in deciduous teeth and in less stressed areas. Glass ionomers release fluoride, which can help protect against caries.
4. Inlay and Onlay restorations
Inlays and Onlays are advanced types of fillings that are used when the cavity in a tooth is too large to use a traditional filling, but does not yet require a full crown. They are made of materials such as ceramic, gold or composites for durability and aesthetics. Inlays are located inside the cusp of the tooth, while Onlays cover one or more cusps of the tooth. These restorations are especially recommended for restoring molars and premolars.
Advantages of modern composite and ceramic fillings
Aesthetics
One of the biggest advantages of modern composite and ceramic fillings is their aesthetics. Thanks to a wide selection of shades, these fillings can be perfectly matched to the natural color of the patient's teeth. As a result, they are virtually invisible, allowing the smile to maintain its natural appearance.
Durability
Both composite and ceramic fillings are highly durable. Composites are resistant to abrasion and fracture, making them ideal for fillings in anterior and posterior teeth. Ceramics are even more durable, making ceramic fillings excellent for restoring larger cavities and for applications in areas exposed to high chewing forces.
Biocompatibility
Modern composite and ceramic fillings are biocompatible, meaning that they are safe for patient health and do not cause allergic reactions. These materials are also less susceptible to corrosion and degradation in the oral environment, further increasing their durability and safety.
Minimal invasiveness
Composite and ceramic fillings require minimal preparation of the tooth, meaning that only as much tissue as absolutely necessary is removed during the procedure. This preserves as much of the tooth's healthy structures as possible, which is beneficial to its long-term health and strength.
Ease of repair
If a composite filling is damaged, it can be easily repaired by adding a new layer of material. Ceramic fillings can also be repaired, although the process may require more time and precision. Nevertheless, both options offer the possibility of an effective repair without having to replace the entire filling.
Speed of treatment
Modern techniques used at Edent Dentistry allow composite fillings to be completed quickly. The procedure can be completed in a single visit, which is very convenient for patients. For ceramic fillings, which may require more time to complete in the lab, the process is also optimized to minimize waiting time.
Resistance to staining
Modern composite and ceramic fillings are resistant to discoloration, allowing teeth to remain aesthetically pleasing for longer. These materials do not absorb stains from food and beverages as easily as older materials, which is important for patients who care about the aesthetics of their smile.
Choosing the right material at Edent Dentistry
At Stomatologia Edent in Warsaw, we offer a variety of filling options to suit individual patients' needs and expectations. Our experienced dentists will carefully assess the condition of your teeth and present the best solutions, taking into account both aesthetics and functionality.
Consultation and treatment plan
Each treatment process begins with a detailed consultation, during which the patient's options and expectations are discussed. Based on a thorough diagnostic examination, such as X-rays and 3D scans, the dentist creates a personalized treatment plan, which includes the selection of appropriate restorative materials.
Light-cured fillings
Composite fillings at Edent Dentistry are cured using advanced light-curing systems to ensure maximum durability and strength of the material. Light-curing techniques also allow for faster and more efficient completion of the procedure.
