Composite resin fillings
At ART MEDIC DENT, we put great emphasis on the aesthetic value of dental care. Instead of amalgam, our dentists use tooth-coloured fillings made of composite resin. Theyare a mixture of powdered glass and plastic resin and are made to resemble the appearance of the natural tooth. These fillings are also strong, durable and cosmetically superior to dark grey colored amalgam fillings.
Inlays and onlays
A dental restoration is a material that has been placed in a prepared tooth to restore function and morphology when tooth structure has been lost due to decay or fracture or to improve the esthetics of the tooth.
Inlay is a pre-made filling consisting of a solid substance, gold or porcelain, fitted to a cavity in a tooth and cemented into place.
Onlay is a method to apply a covering layer onto a tooth surface, which not only protects, but also reinforces cusps. Onlays and inlays are often used when teeth present extensive cavities and tissue loss due to trauma or caries, as well as when fillings would lack retention.
