How long does a white filling last?

With good hygiene, many years. It depends on the size of the filling, where the tooth sits and whether you tend to grind your teeth.

Do I have to replace my old amalgam fillings?

Not automatically. We replace them when they leak, when they crack or when new decay has formed underneath.

Fillings and tooth repair

Decay does not stop on its own. While it is small, we simply remove it and fill the tooth. Once it reaches the nerve, the treatment gets harder and more expensive.

We use composite and glass ionomer materials that we can mix to the shade of your own tooth. The filling does not stand out and the tooth keeps its natural look.

The same material lets us reshape front teeth, rebuild a chipped corner or narrow the gap between the two front teeth. For bigger changes we show you in advance how the result will look.

How it works

Diagnosis: We find decay even where the eye cannot see it.
Numbing: We treat the tooth so that you do not feel it.
Removing the decay: We drill away only the damaged tissue and keep the healthy part.
Filling and polishing: We rebuild the tooth in the shade of your enamel and adjust your bite.
