Tooth-coloured plastic fillings
If a "hole in the tooth" is detected due to caries, it must be treated as soon as possible to prevent the caries from spreading further and causing greater damage to the affected tooth over time. Depending on the size of the defect, we treat the tooth with a filling, an inlay, a partial crown or a crown to reconstruct the tooth in a stable way. For small to medium-sized defects, the treatment with highly aesthetic, tooth-coloured plastic fillings (also called composite fillings) is suitable in both the posterior and anterior region. Today, composite fillings can be placed in the tooth in a particularly defect-oriented and gentle manner, as they form a firm connection with the tooth (so-called micro-retention) and thus, in contrast to other filling techniques, no mechanical retention is required.
