Dental Fillings

A dental filling is a restorative procedure used to repair damage caused by cavities, small cracks, or wear on the teeth. At our Antalya clinic, our experienced dentists use fillings to restore both functionality and aesthetics when decay, minor fractures, or wear are detected. You don’t need to worry about the cost of dental fillings in Turkey at our clinic, you’ll find budget-friendly options and receive treatment from the best dentists in Antalya.

Why Are Dental Fillings Necessary?

At Center Dental Clinic, we recommend dental fillings for the following reasons:

• Treatment of tooth decay (cavities)

• Repair of small tooth fractures or cracks

• Replacement of old fillings

• Restoration of worn teeth caused by habits like nail-biting or teeth grinding

• In some cases, closing small gaps between teeth

Modern Approach: Composite vs. Amalgam Fillings

At Center Dental Clinic, we prefer modern and patient-friendly filling materials we exclusively use composite resin fillings.

Composite Fillings

• Made from a combination of plastic and fine glass particles.

• Blend naturally with your teeth.

• Bond directly to the tooth, meaning less removal of healthy tooth structure.

• Used not only for cavities but also for repairing cracked, worn, or chipped teeth.

• Mercury-free  eliminating the health concerns linked to metal fillings.

• Environmentally friendly.

Amalgam Fillings (Silver Fillings) Not used at our clinic

• Composed of metals such as silver, tin, copper, and mercury.

• Have a visible metallic appearance in the mouth.

• Require more removal of healthy tooth structure for placement.

• Contain mercury, which can pose health risks for some patients.

• Expand and contract with temperature changes potentially causing tooth cracks.

Composite Filling Procedure: Step-by-Step

Understanding the process of composite dental fillings can help you feel more comfortable during treatment. Here’s what to expect:

Aesthetic Appeal: Composite fillings blend seamlessly with natural teeth, giving a more attractive smile.

Tooth Preservation: Because less healthy tooth structure is removed, the natural integrity of your teeth is better maintained.

Versatility: Composite materials can repair not just decay but also chipped, cracked, or worn teeth.

Health Advantage: With mercury-free options, we eliminate all risks associated with metal fillings.

Advanced Technology: Composite materials represent the latest generation of dental restoration technology, offering greater durability than previous filling types.
