Ceramic Fillings

First, we numb the tooth with local anesthesia to ensure a completely painless treatment. Then, we carefully remove all decay and old fillings.

We prepare the tooth cavity into an optimal shape for the ceramic filling using special instruments. It is important that the edges are clean and smooth.

Instead of a traditional impression, we use a modern intraoral scanner that creates an accurate 3D digital model of the prepared tooth and surrounding tissues in seconds.

We place a temporary filling on the tooth to protect it until your next visit.

We send the digital model to the dental laboratory (or the design is performed in the practice using CAD/CAM), where a technician designs and manufactures your ceramic filling precisely to measure. The ideal shade of ceramic is selected to perfectly match the color of your teeth.

We carefully remove the temporary filling and check the prepared tooth.

We first try-in the ceramic filling to check its precise fit, bite and contact with adjacent teeth. We make any necessary adjustments if needed.

Once the filling is perfect, we permanently bond it to the tooth with special adhesive cement. Modern cements ensure maximum strength and prevent bacterial leakage.

After the cement has hardened, the filling is carefully polished to be smooth and comfortable.
