Material and technique
We use premium photocomposites and apply them in layers — the multilayering technique. Lower layers replace dentin, surface layers mimic the translucency of enamel. The final result is a tooth-coloured restoration that is invisible in normal light.
How it goes
After local anaesthesia we remove the decay and isolate the tooth with a rubber dam to keep the field dry. An adhesive system creates a micromechanical bond with enamel and dentin; we then layer the composite and cure each layer with a blue polymerisation light. Finally we shape the morphology and polish the surface.
Longevity
With good home care and regular check-ups, a well-placed composite restoration lasts ten years or more. For large defects where a filling would be fragile, a ceramic onlay is the better choice.
