Dental Examination

Fillings
It is a form of care that has been tried and tested over decades. The name “amalgam” stands for an alloy of different metals. Mostly silver, copper, indium, copper, tin, and zinc combined with mercury. The mercury contained has brought criticism to the amalgam filling in the past because the substance can be harmful to health under certain circumstances. However, this applies mainly to mercury vapors and less so to amalgam fillings, which appear to cause minimal pollution. The high-pressure resistance and extended durability speak for this type of tooth filling. Amalgam is still the standard for restoration in the posterior region.

Dentures
Different materials are used to fill tooth defects. Longevity and good tolerance are the most important criteria for your selection. With this denture, a distinction is made between inlay fillings and usual fillings based on the application. For the inlay filling or inlay, after an impression of the damaged tooth area, a precisely fitting restoration is made that only needs to be used. Standard fillings, on the other hand, are placed as a plastic mass directly into the opening in the tooth, harden there in a short time and thus give the tooth back its natural function. There are different types of tooth fillings...
