The sound of the drill, the yellowish colour of the fillings, or the black amalgam fillings that are harmful to the body, still scare many people away from treatment, but that is a thing of the past!

Thanks to modern dental procedures, our treatments are painless and gentle, with fillings crafted with artistic precision, perfectly matching the original tooth. In our article, you will learn how a tooth is filled in a state-of-the-art clinic using modern laser dental equipment, and what you can do for your own recovery.

 

When might you need a tooth filling?

In Hungary, adults aged 35-44 have an average of 16 decayed, filled or missing teeth, and almost a third of the population over 65 are completely toothless. Fear of the dentist, unpleasant procedures, and pain prevents many people from attending routine check-ups, leading them to seek professional help only when a serious problem arises.

However, in the field of dentistry, prevention is the key, regular check-ups and timely detection and treatment of problems. Believe us, having a small cavity removed and filled with a laser under full anaesthesia is a much easier and quicker solution than root canal treatment or extraction due to advanced decay.

At Naturadent, the laser dentistry clinic, we place particular emphasis on ensuring that both the clinic environment and our staff contribute to creating a calm, secure atmosphere where you have no reason to be afraid!

 

All about filling, step by step

Like all treatments, dental fillings start with a dental assessment and a detailed oral examination. During the full dental assessment, we also take digital panoramic X-rays of the entire oral cavity, the entire dentition.

Following this, our patients receive a treatment plan, which they will then discuss in detail with their treating physician. Each time, we provide an opportunity for you to ask your questions, share your concerns, and begin your treatments with confidence, free from questions and doubts.

Based on the completed plan, the leaky tooth Treatment. The first step is to remove the decayed part of the tooth., which we supplement with modern laser dentistry equipment in our practice.

 

This procedure has several advantages compared to a traditional drill:

• During laser dental drilling no need to remove intact tooth material in order to remove the caries.
• After laser tooth drilling The surface remains sterile., in which tooth-coloured porcelain fillings adhere much better and much more permanently than was previously possible.
• Laser dental drilling it doesn't cause mechanical damage In the filling material, there will be no invisible cracks in the tooth afterwards
• Laser dental drilling It does not heat the horse., compared to the large amount of heat generated by traditional tooth drilling

Following the removal of the decayed tooth portion, disinfection and preparation of the created cavity for filling takes place. natural-looking, light-curing, tooth-coloured filling material It is placed into the cavity in a malleable, soft state, which later hardens upon illumination. The filling material is placed into the cavity layer by layer, precisely shaping and fitting it to the patient's dentition for a perfect result.

Old, worn out, damaged, or Replacement of amalgam filling We proceed in a similar way. The main difference is that instead of removing decayed tooth structure, the treatment begins with the removal of the old filling. The replacement of amalgam fillings is always rubber dam isolation we perform, thanks to which we prevent amalgam debris from entering the body. This allows us to completely and safely remove the amalgam, which contains toxic mercury, from the tooth. Another great advantage of isolation is that we protect the prepared cavity from bacteria and secondary decay.

 

At Naturadent laser dentistry, natural-looking, We create aesthetically pleasing, biocompatible dental fillings., thanks to which the finished fillings are invisible, appearing to the naked eye to be identical to real enamel and lifelike teeth.

At Naturadent, we also place great emphasis on replacing old amalgam fillings, which are extremely harmful to the body. The amalgam fillings contain approximately 56% of mercury, which is incessantly dissolved and deposits unnoticed in the body. It enters our bloodstream through constant wear and friction (eating, brushing our teeth, drinking carbonated soft drinks) and is deposited in our liver, kidneys, brain, bones and endocrine glands.

What to do and what not to do after a filling.

The aesthetic dental filling hardens immediately during treatment, which is why The strength of the filling is not affected by eating or drinking.. However, after it is done, for an average of 3-4 hours, while the anaesthetic is still effective, it is not advisable to eat or drink, as with numbness it is easy to bite your lip or tongue, or to choke.

As with all teeth, in the case of a filled tooth Thorough cleaning is extremely important.. For healthy teeth, the aim of brushing is to prevent tooth decay; for filled teeth, it is to preserve the remaining healthy tooth material and prevent new cavities.

 

Sensitivity and pain after treatment

You may feel minimal sensitivity for a few days after treatment. This is completely natural and will gradually fade over time.

If you experience strong, long-lasting pain after having a tooth filling, which may even radiate to the surrounding teeth, you should definitely consult your dentist! This is because the filling may not be sufficient to save the tooth, and an inflammation may develop, which can only be treated with a root canal.

It can also happen that the treating dentist misjudges the size of the filling, fails to properly shape the surface grooves and cusps of the tooth, and the filling ends up being too high. In this case, chewing will be uncomfortable and painful, and the surface of the filling may even abrade the tongue and gums. If you experience such symptoms, be sure to consult a dentist, as a poorly sized filling is not good for the bite and can also cause jaw joint problems in the long run!

 

At our practice, we use Thanks to digital scanners, microscopes, and laser dental equipment, we carry out dental fillings with exceptional precision., This has completely minimised the rate of failed treatments! Thanks to the beneficial effect of the laser, the chances of further inflammation and decay are also minimal, meaning your tooth filling will not only be aesthetically pleasing but also extremely durable.
