Dental filling

Dental fillings are basic treatments available in almost every dental clinic in Budapest and the agglomeration, but only few of them are as accessible and convenient as Saint Lucas SPA Dental.

Dental fillings are the main treatment option in case of tooth decay (in other words cavities). Dental fillings are one of the oldest and most widespread dental treatments. The process of restoration begins with the removal of the damaged area of the tooth, only then the tooth can be filled.

If the hole formed after removing the damaged area of the tooth is too big, so-called inlays or onlays are used. In other words, inlays and onlays are basically large fillings needed for the restoration of a badly decayed tooth. The significant difference between dental inlays and onlays is that an onlay covers a larger area than an inlay. On the other hand, an onlay covers the cusps of the tooth while an inlay only covers the area between the cusps.

Aesthetic filling as such is basically a collective term embracing procedures that use the latest composite materials for reconstruction works. These treatments are called aesthetic treatments because they result in harmonious appearance that fits into the natural teeth, so it is basically unnoticeable.

• If you need to have filling as a replacement for decayed part of your tooth.
• If your teeth are so badly worn down due to serious overload that your chewing ability is reduced and that causes aesthetics concerns.
• If a piece of your tooth was broken off.
• If you want your previous out-dated amalgam filling replaced with modern aesthetic one.
• If there are gaps between your teeth that can be shortened by aesthetic fillings.

• Thanks to the carefully chosen colour, the inlay fits into its environment unnoticeably.
• Inlay is made by the lab with high precision techniques based on the impressions your dentist takes.
• It perfectly replaces the missing tooth material.
• It anatomically appropriately rebuilds the tooth’s shape, so it is unnoticeably fits into the natural teeth.
• It gives back the original chewing ability and functions of the tooth.

If an aesthetic filling is not sufficient for a long lasting and safe result due to the size of the cavity, lab-made inlay (or onlay) is suggested instead.

In protecting the soundness of our teeth, aesthetic fillings has a key role. Therefore, it is worth having your teeth examined on a consultation and if necessary, you can take the opportunity that aesthetic fillings offer you.

Ceramic inlay (or onlay) is basically a large filling you need for the restoration of a badly decayed tooth. In such case the cavity can be cleared out only by removing a great portion of the tooth’s material. Aesthetic filling is only suitable up to a certain size. Beyond that, ordinary filling is not a safe solution.
