What is aesthetic filling?
Aesthetic fillings are the most commonly used minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry procedure. This is a dental restoration method in which the dentist restores missing or damaged tooth tissues directly in the mouth. This allows to restore worn or chipped, as well as discolored and caries-damaged teeth. During aesthetic filling, the teeth are given a more beautiful shape, the arch of the teeth is leveled out and too large spaces between the teeth are closed.
How is aesthetic filling of teeth performed?
01
Consultation
Before the aesthetic filling procedure, it is necessary to come for a consultation, during which you will express all your wishes and expectations. The doctor will carefully examine all your teeth, your bite and, after evaluating all the risks and complications, will recommend the most suitable treatment methods for you.
During the consultation, the complexity of the procedure is also assessed, i.e. the number of teeth to be restored, the size of the damage, the duration of the future filling and the price. Up to 6 teeth are usually restored during one visit, so you can enjoy a beautiful smile after just one visit.
02
Aesthetic restoration of molar teeth
During the aesthetic restoration of molar teeth, all the lost, chewed off anatomical structures of the teeth are restored – humps, furrows, and the lost height of the tooth crown. This protects the teeth from wearing down, prevents the lowering of the bite, the decrease in chewing efficiency, because the correct anatomy of the teeth is important not only for beauty, but also for maintaining the function of chewing.
03
Aesthetic restoration of front teeth
During the procedure, very high-quality, modern composites with particularly good aesthetic properties are used, which allow functional and aesthetic restoration of the individual anatomy of the front teeth layer by layer with jewellery precision, reproducing not only the ideal shape created by nature, but also transparency, opacity, opalescence and fluorescence – critical factors in achieving a truly aesthetically pleasing front teeth restoration!

When is aesthetic filling recommended?
Aesthetic filling is recommended if:
/ teeth have lost their natural appearance, i.e. they are damaged by caries, discoloured, faded, irregularly grown or are cracked, chipped, etc. due to injuries;
/ teeth are affected by caries. Conventional tooth filling will not provide such a good result;
/ you want to replace old, darkened fillings and ensure a much better aesthetic image;
/ teeth are discoloured or stained (although it is quite often believed that teeth whitening can help in such cases, it is not always effective);
/ the teeth are worn, chipped or cracked. If a person wants to remove the gap between the teeth (diastema);
/ you want to restore your teeth after various injuries;
/ you want to change the shape and length of your teeth;
/ you want to protect the molars from lowering of the bite line.
If the tooth defects are minor, aesthetic filling is a fast, good looking, tissue-sparing method of tooth restoration.
Whether aesthetic tooth filling is the right procedure for you, the dentist will answer during the consultation.
When is aesthetic filling not recommended?
/ When restoring endodontically treated teeth, as well as in case of extensive damage to the crown, it is recommended to choose aesthetic microprosthetics with metal-free ceramic veneers or crowns.
/ Aesthetic filling is not recommended in case of pronounced pathology of the bite – in this case, orthodontic dental treatment (straightening with retainers or braces) is recommended, aesthetic filling is performed only after dental treatment.
/ In the case of teeth grinding (bruxism), there is a risk of cracking of aesthetic fillings, so it may be recommended to wear a protective mouth-guard at night. In case of severe grinding of the teeth, the dentist may refuse to perform an aesthetic filling and recommend other treatment methods.
The dentist will answer what is best for you during the consultation.

Recommendations after aesthetic filling:
In order to maintain the aesthetic beauty of filled teeth, it is necessary to care for them properly and follow the recommendations given by the dentist. Important to know:
1/ We recommend not consuming any colouring foods and drinks (tea, coffee, red wine, beetroot, curry spices, etc.) for 12 hours after aesthetic tooth filling, as well as not smoking or painting your lips. It is possible that it will be more difficult for you to pronounce some sounds for a while – the basic adaptation period of the mouth and face can last several weeks.
2/ A follow-up doctor’s examination is recommended after two weeks. During aesthetic filling, both the teeth and the composites used for filling dry out and change colour, so the final result of aesthetic filling is visible only after 14 days. During the control examination, the dentist can offer correction of aesthetic fillings.
3/ If you want to enjoy long-term results, after the procedure, consume colouring foods in moderation, try not to smoke. Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft toothbrush, it is also necessary to use interdental floss and/or interdental brushes for interdental cleaning.
Choose toothpaste with fluoride. Use low-abrasive toothpaste, avoid whitening toothpastes, as well as products with chlorhexidine, baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), and herbs. Avoid abrasive toothpastes, especially those containing baking soda (sodium bicarbonate), whose coarse particles scratch the surface of fillings.
4/ After the procedure, choose an alcohol-free mouthwash that reduces the amount of microorganisms and improves the smell of the oral cavity. Mouthwash with alcohol can promote dehydration of restorative materials and mucosa, soften aesthetic fillings and increase micropermeability.
5/ If your dentist has prescribed protective dental gum shields (for example, due to teeth grinding), use them every night to protect the aesthetic restorations.
6/ Don’t bite hard products or materials (e.g. bones, fruit pits, bottle caps, etc.) – both your teeth and aesthetic fillings can chip.
7/ If the teeth are sensitive, we suggest using a special tooth ointment.
8/ 1-2 times a year, perform a professional teeth cleaning procedure and polishing of aesthetic fillings – this way you will extend the life of the fillings and enjoy a beautiful smile for longer!
We recommend performing the teeth cleaning procedure in our implantology clinic, otherwise we will not be able to provide long-lasting restorations. If cheap, low-quality, abrasive materials are used during this procedure, the surface of aesthetic fillings is scratched and their durability is significantly reduced.
