Dental fillings

Caries is the most common dental disease, which, if left untreated, leads to pain, tissue destruction and complications. At early stages, the lesion does not always cause discomfort, but gradually leads to the loss of part of the crown structure. If up to 30% of the tooth is destroyed, a filling will help.

Dental fillings in Kyiv at Astra Dent are an accurate restoration of the shape, integrity and functions of the tooth using modern materials — Dentsply, 3M, EMS. The procedure allows us to stop the process of destruction and prevent further complications.

What is a filling, why is it needed, and how do they work at Astra Dent?

Fillings are the restoration of damaged tooth tissues using a special material that fills the cavity after removing the affected areas. Most often, it is performed during the treatment of caries, but also after injuries, old restorations or as part of preparation for prosthetics .

Why do fillings? This:

• stops the development of caries;
• restores chewing function;
• protects the tooth from further destruction;
• eliminates pain and sensitivity.

Astra Dent:

• uses premium photopolymer fillings with high wear resistance and aesthetics;
• selects the material individually – depending on the localization of the defect, the load on the tooth and the patient’s wishes;
• works under a microscope, which increases accuracy;
• uses the latest generation adhesive systems – this extends the service life of the restoration.

Advantages of Astra Dent for fillings

Astra Dent is not just a network of dental centers, but a team of specialists that provides high-quality caries treatment at all stages. Fillings here are performed with precision, compliance with international standards and taking into account the individual needs of each patient.

Modern equipment and technologies

All Astra Dent centers are equipped with equipment from leading global manufacturers, including Seiler, Sirona and Carl Zeiss. Only certified materials of the highest quality from the Dentsply, 3M, EMS brands are used for treatment.

Thanks to precise visualization, the doctor clearly sees the affected area, and technologies allow for maximum preservation of healthy tooth tissues. This means less preparation, less discomfort and higher restoration accuracy.

Individual approach – no templates

At Astra Dent, treatment is not reduced to a standard “formula”. When filling, the following aspects are taken into account:

• functional load on the tooth;
• anatomical features;
• aesthetic wishes of the patient;
• presence of allergies or sensitivity to materials;
• previous medical history.

Each patient is explained the options, the colors of the fillings are demonstrated, and the optimal material is selected for a specific clinical situation. Treatment takes place in a calm atmosphere with full awareness.

A team of experienced dentists

Astra Dent employs doctors with real clinical experience – an average of 25-30 years. The youngest specialists have at least 7 years of practice, and the longest experience reaches 34 years. This means that your tooth will be treated not by a beginner, but by a specialist who has already performed hundreds of restorations and works confidently even with the most complex cases.

Convenient location and uniform standards

No hidden fees or surprises in the check.

Types of fillings at Astra Dent

Astra Dent uses two main types of fillings – temporary and permanent, depending on the purpose of treatment and clinical situation.

• Temporary fillings are installed for a short period of time – usually for several days or weeks. They are needed when medications are injected into the tooth, for example, with deep caries or cleaning of canals. Astra Dent dental centers use special hermetic materials that are resistant to moisture and chewing load.
• Permanent fillings are installed after the completion of treatment as the final stage of tooth restoration. They are highly wear-resistant and can last for many years. At Astra Dent, fillings are made of modern composites that combine strength, aesthetics and biocompatibility.

Materials for filling teeth

Astra Dent dental offices do not use outdated or toxic materials. Preference is given to modern solutions that are safe, durable and have a natural appearance.

• Photopolymer composites (light-curing materials). This is the main option for permanent fillings. They allow us to accurately recreate the shape of the tooth, have high strength and are ideally matched to the color of the enamel. Astra Dent uses certified composites from 3M, VOCO – with proven quality and wear resistance.
• Glass ionomer materials. Used in pediatric dentistry or in the presence of increased sensitivity. Fillings made from these materials are distinguished by chemical adhesion to the tooth tissue, release fluoride, strengthening the enamel, and look good in the smile area.
• Temporary materials. For short-term fillings, materials with calcium or therapeutic additives are used. They provide tightness and allow you to easily remove the filling at the next stage of treatment.

Also, the filling at Astra Dent is selected according to the type of restoration:

• Surface fillings. Used for small carious defects, filled during one visit.
• Medium-depth fillings. Restore part of the anatomical shape of the tooth.
• Restorative inlays (inlays, onlays). They are made in a laboratory and installed on a tooth with significant damage – as an alternative to a crown.

In the Astra Dent networks, the recommended material is the latest generation of light-cured composites – as the most versatile, durable and aesthetic. Glass ionomer materials are used mainly in children or in the risk zone of secondary caries. Metal fillings are not installed in the network due to non-compliance with modern standards.

How is the installation of a filling in Astra Dent?

The filling procedure in Astra Dent is always adapted to the clinical situation – the degree of tooth decay, sensitivity, patient age, allergies and concomitant diseases are taken into account. However, there is a general scheme according to which high-quality restoration takes place.

Stage 1. Initial diagnosis and planning

The doctor conducts an examination and diagnosis, determines the depth of the lesion and the type of caries. If necessary, an X-ray or CT scan is taken. After that, the doctor offers filling options – by materials, color, service life – and announces the preliminary cost.

Stage 2. Tooth isolation

Before treating the carious cavity, the tooth is isolated from saliva and moisture using a rubber dam or cotton rollers – this is important to ensure dryness, because modern composites require perfect adhesion. At Astra Dent, saliva ejectors are used together with a rubber dam or cotton rollers – depending on the clinical situation. This allows all technological conditions to be observed during the installation of the filling.

Stage 3. Removal of affected tissues

Caries is completely removed using a tip or micro-instruments. The doctor works precisely, without affecting healthy tissue. If the lesion is deep, the cavity is treated with medication, and if necessary, depulpation (removal of the nerve) with subsequent cleaning of the canals.

Stage 4. Etching and surface preparation

A special gel-etchant for enamel microrelief is applied to the cleaned cavity, which ensures better bonding of the filling material to the tooth. Next, an adhesive system (bond) is applied, which fixes the filling.

Stage 5. Installation of the filling

A light-curing composite is introduced into the cavity in layers, each layer is polymerized with a lamp. The doctor forms the filling in accordance with the anatomy of the tooth, restores proper contact with neighboring teeth and natural chewing function.

Stage 6. Grinding and polishing

The final stage is surface treatment of the filling. It is ground, polished and, if necessary, adjusted so that the filling does not interfere with chewing and does not injure the mucous membrane. The finished result is a natural shape, a smooth surface and comfort in everyday life.

Stage 7. Checking the closure

The doctor checks whether the jaws close correctly. If necessary, the filling is corrected so that it does not interfere with chewing.

In complex cases (with pulpitis, deep lesions or infections in the canals), root canal treatment or nerve removal may be required before filling.

Indications for filling

Installation of a filling is necessary not only for classic caries. In Astra Dent dental centers, the procedure is performed in various clinical cases – both for treatment and for restoration of tooth functions. Main indications:

• Caries at early and middle stages. The most common reason for filling. If the process is not stopped in time, the lesion deepens and requires more complex intervention.
• Chips or cracks in the enamel. The filling protects the damaged area, prevents the penetration of bacteria and further destruction.
• Replacing an old filling. If the old filling has collapsed, lost its tightness or changed color, it must be replaced to avoid secondary caries.
• Pain or sensitivity during loading. This may indicate a violation of the integrity of the enamel or a hidden lesion. In such cases, an examination is required and, if necessary, a filling.

When will a filling not help?

Filling is effective only when a sufficient amount of healthy tooth tissue is preserved. In some cases, this procedure does not give the desired result, and the doctor recommends other treatment options.

• Deep caries with nerve damage. In such situations, endodontic treatment is necessary – removal of the nerve, cleaning and filling of the canals, after which restoration is possible.
• Extensive destruction of the tooth (more than 50%). If the tooth has lost a significant part of the coronal part, an inlay or orthopedic structure (for example, a crown) is required – a standard filling will not withstand the load.
• Root crack or vertical fracture. Such damage is often impossible to cure – the tooth requires extraction with subsequent prosthetics or implantation.
• Chronic inflammation or cyst under the tooth. In such cases, treatment begins with the elimination of the focus of infection – filling will not be effective without prior therapy.
