Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry aims to restore the function and aesthetics of teeth damaged by decay, wear or trauma. Using various methods, from fillings to inlays and onlays, teeth are returned to their natural appearance and durability.
With modern filling materials and techniques, we apply restorations that match the tooth's natural color and form. Our goal is results that are both healthy and aesthetically harmonious, and long-lasting.
What We Do
- Aesthetic (composite) fillings
- Removing decay and repairing teeth
- Restoration of worn teeth
- Inlay and onlay applications
- Correcting discolored teeth

Why It Matters
Repairing damaged teeth in time prevents the problem from progressing and possible tooth loss. A small cavity left ignored can grow into situations requiring root canal treatment.
Restorations with a natural color and form increase the tooth's durability while preserving aesthetic integrity, so you have a smile that is both healthy and natural-looking.
Treatment Process
Examination & Diagnosis
The extent of the damage is assessed and the most suitable restoration method is determined.
Preparation
Under local anesthesia, decayed or damaged tissue is removed.
Restoration
The tooth is repaired with composite filling, inlay or onlay, matching the color.
Finishing
The filling is shaped and polished, and the bite is checked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is getting a filling painful?
Since the procedure is done under local anesthesia, you feel no pain. Brief sensitivity afterwards is normal.
How long do aesthetic fillings last?
With proper care and regular check-ups, composite fillings can be used healthily for many years.
What is the difference between inlay/onlay and a filling?
Inlays and onlays are durable restorations prepared in a laboratory and preferred for larger loss of tooth material. For small losses, a composite filling is sufficient.
Can my old amalgam (gray) fillings be replaced?
Yes. For aesthetic reasons or when renewal is needed, old fillings can be replaced with composite restorations matched to the tooth color.
