Not only posterior teeth look naturally beautiful again with the composites, but also fractured or destroyed anterior teeth can be reconstructed with this material.<\/p>\n<p>We can adjust the color and shape so that the tooth is restored to its original optical condition. In addition, this material ensures particular stability. Composite is characterized by a particularly high abrasion resistance, which means that the material shows particularly low wear over time.

This is important as anaesthesia is usually applied and you should wait until the anaesthetic feeling has completely disappeared to avoid injury to the oral mucosa. Once this time has elapsed, you can start carefully with soft and lukewarm food or water. Particularly hot or sticky foods and very hard foods should be avoided in the first 24 hours to avoid damaging the filling or impairing its durability.<\/p>\n<p>It is recommended to chew on the opposite side of the treated area at the beginning and to avoid extreme temperatures in order to reduce possible temperature sensitivity. Normal oral hygiene is permitted, but intensive tooth cleaning should be carried out carefully in the first few hours. If pain, bite disturbances or other complaints occur, it is advisable to contact your dentist.<\/p>\n<p>Special care should be taken with temporary fillings, as these are more sensitive and should not be subjected to unnecessary stress until the final restoration is in place. Eating too soon or ignoring these recommendations can lead to damage, leaks, temperature sensitivity or discolouration of the filling, which will affect its durability. A careful approach will ensure the quality and functionality of the filling in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How much does a multi-layer composite filling cost?&#8221; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#F0F0F0&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x22;||divi||400&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||-1px||false|false&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;selector h4 {||  font-family: &#8216;Gilroy-Medium&#8217;;||  font-size: 1em;||  line-height: 1.2em;||  margin-bottom: -.5em !important;||}&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font=&#8221;Gilroy-Medium||||||||&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Multi-layer composite fillings are priced differently depending on the time required and the size of the cavity.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Single-surface: 90 \u20ac<\/li>\n<li>Two-surface: 120 \u20ac<\/li>\n<li>Three-surface: 150 \u20ac<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, this also includes the finishing of the filling.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;How long does the treatment with a multi-layer composite filling take?&#8221; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#F0F0F0&#8243; icon_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x22;||divi||400&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||-1px||false|false&#8221; custom_css_free_form=&#8221;selector h4 {||  font-family: &#8216;Gilroy-Medium&#8217;;||  font-size: 1em;||  line-height: 1.2em;||  margin-bottom: -.5em !important;||}&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; toggle_font=&#8221;Gilroy-Medium||||||||&#8221; toggle_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>If it is possible to treat several teeth on one side and with anaesthesia, there is of course a time advantage in the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>You can expect a treatment to take between 30 minutes (1-2 fillings) and an hour (3-5 fillings).<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filling therapy<div class=\"et_pb_module dipi_breadcrumbs dipi_breadcrumbs_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dipi-breadcrumbs dipi-bc-left\">\n                <ul >\n                    \n                                                        <li  class=\"dipi-breadcrumb-item dipi-breadcrumb-home\">\n\n                        \n                            <a  href=\"\/\">\n                                <span  content=\"Home\">\n                                                                        Home                                <\/span>\n                            <\/a>\n\n                                                <meta itemprop=\"position\" content=\"1\"\/>                    <\/li>\n\n                    <li class=\"dipi-breadcrumb-separator\">\n                    <span class=\"et-pb-icon dipi-separator-icon\">$<\/span>\n                <\/li>                            \n                <\/ul>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>What are fillings and when are they used?Multi-layer composite fillings are modern dental fillings made of high-quality plastic.
