Examination and assessment
The doctor examines the tooth and takes an X-ray when this is deemed necessary
COMPOSITE TOOTH FILLING
Restoring damaged tooth tissue in a conservative manner
The filling material is selected by the doctor based on the location of the tooth, the size of the damage, and the requirements for load-bearing strength and aesthetic appearance in each individual case. Choosing a suitable material helps restore the tooth’s original shape, supports normal chewing function, and improves the overall appearance of the tooth. Schedule an examination so that the doctor can assess your case and recommend a suitable filling method for you.

Warranty and follow-up visits
A warranty policy, where available, will be applied depending on the type of filling material used, the location of the tooth, and the actual conditions of use. Cases in which a filling wears down or cracks due to teeth grinding, trauma, or recurring decay need to be examined and assessed on an individual basis.
Patients should keep their treatment records, invoices, and warranty card (if provided), and should return for follow-up visits as scheduled, so that the doctor can monitor the tooth and address any abnormalities at an early stage. The warranty policy is applied in accordance with current regulations and the specific conditions of each individual service or material.
