Composite and ceramic fillings are modern dental treatment methods used to repair tooth decay and aesthetic defects. They provide a natural appearance by protecting dental health both aesthetically and functionally.

Composite Filling::

Composite fillings are fillings made with a special material that is tooth-colored and compatible with the tooth. After being applied to the tooth, it can be shaped and results very close to the natural tooth appearance are obtained. Composite fillings are used to repair small cavities and to eliminate aesthetic defects in teeth. During the application, a small part of the tooth is abraded and is usually completed in one session. The advantage of composite fillings is that they offer an aesthetically natural appearance and can be applied quickly.

Ceramic Filling::

Ceramic fillings are fillings made using porcelain material and provide the closest aesthetics to the natural structure and color of the tooth. They are generally preferred for large cavities and larger deterioration of the teeth. Ceramic fillings are long-lasting thanks to their high durability and can be safely used on the chewing surfaces at the back of the teeth. These fillings optimally restore the shape and function of the tooth and blend perfectly with the gums.

Composite Fillings and Their Advantages

Composite fillings are restorations made using a natural tooth-colored, light-cured filling material after cleaning tooth decay. It offers a more aesthetic appearance compared to traditional amalgam fillings and provides a more durable hold by chemically bonding to the tooth structure.

Ceramic Fillings (Inlay & Onlay)

Thanks to new technologies, we are able to make longer lasting and durable restorations by using ceramic material instead of composite material in teeth with extensive decay or damage. Inlay and onlay fillings fit over the tooth like a puzzle, replacing the damaged tissue and complementing the natural tooth tissue.

1

Preserves Natural Tooth Texture

Compared to traditional fillings, the intact tooth tissue is not touched, only the decayed and damaged area is removed.

2

Longer Lifespan

Ceramic material is much more resistant to wear and pressure than composite fillers.

3

Perfectly Compatible with Tooth Structure

Produced using computer-aided CAD/CAM technology, these fillings fit the tooth exactly and provide a long-term solution by better distributing chewing forces.

4

Resistant to Color Change

While composite fillings can stain over time, ceramic fillings remain as good as new for years.

5

More Durable and Stronger Against Breakage

Since ceramic fillings have a structure closer to the hardness of natural teeth, they are more resistant to cracking and fractures in the long term.
