When do I need a dental filling?

A dental filling is always necessary when tooth structure has been lost — most commonly due to tooth decay, but also due to wear and tear, cracks or broken pieces of the tooth. The aim of the filling is to restore the tooth’s original shape, function and appearance, and to protect it from further damage.

The earlier tooth decay is detected and treated, the smaller the filling will be — and the more healthy tooth structure will be preserved. That is why regular check-ups are so important.

What filling materials do we use?

We use only tooth-coloured, aesthetic materials — no amalgam:

How does the treatment work?

First, we anaesthetise the affected area to ensure the treatment is pain-free. Then, the decayed tooth structure is carefully removed. The tooth is then prepared and the filling placed — in layers and cured immediately in the case of composite, or via scanning and milling or laboratory work in the case of ceramic. Finally, the filling is adjusted to the bite and polished.

Frequently asked questions about dental fillings

That depends on the material: composite fillings last an average of 5–10 years, whilst ceramic fillings last 10–20 years or longer. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene significantly extend their lifespan.
No — we numb the affected area before treatment. The treatment itself is painless. Once the anaesthetic has worn off, the tooth may be sensitive for a short time — this usually subsides within a few days.
Composite is affordable, quick and well-suited to small to medium-sized cavities. Ceramic is more durable, retains its colour better and is ideal for larger cavities. For molars that are subject to heavy wear, we often recommend ceramic or inlays. We’ll advise you on a case-by-case basis.
With composite fillings, you can eat straight away — the material is stable once it has been light-cured. We recommend chewing carefully on the anaesthetised side for the first few hours, as sensation may still be limited. It is best to avoid very hard or sticky foods on the first day.
Early-stage tooth decay is often invisible and painless — which is why regular check-ups are so important. Later on, dark spots, discolouration, sensitivity to sweet foods or pain when chewing may occur. In advanced stages: a visible hole in the tooth.
In Switzerland, basic health insurance does not usually cover dental treatment. Exceptions apply in cases of serious illness. We will provide you with clear information about the costs in advance.
