Dental fillings in Kiev
Caries is one of the most common diseases in the world, which over time affects the hard tissues of the tooth and leads to pain, inflammation and even tooth loss. Fortunately, modern dentistry allows you to effectively stop the destruction and restore the shape and function of the tooth with the help of fillings.
At the "Oxford Medical" dentistry in Kyiv, fillings are performed using high-quality materials, modern equipment and precise techniques. We care about the patient's comfort at every stage - from diagnosis to completion of treatment. Sign up for a initial consultation with a dentist to maintain the health of your teeth without pain and unnecessary stress.

What is a filling and why is it needed?
A filling is an artificial material that a dentist uses to fill a cavity in a tooth after removing damaged tissue. The filling restores the anatomical shape of the tooth, its function, and protects against re-invasion of bacteria.
Simply put, a filling for a tooth is a way to "seal" damage and save a tooth. It is used not only for caries, but also after treatment of canals, cracks, or mechanical damage to the enamel. High-quality filling allows you to avoid complications and extend the life of the tooth for many years.
What are the types of fillings and how to choose the best one?
The choice of the best filling depends on the specific clinical situation. The doctor always takes into account the anatomy of the tooth, the depth of the lesion, aesthetics, service life and the patient's budget. If you are unsure which fillings are best, — entrust the choice to a specialist: he will select the optimal option for you.
The initial consultation of the dentist will help determine the condition of your teeth, identify hidden caries foci and choose the best treatment option. Do not delay — make an appointment with the dentist at the «Oxford Medical» clinic today.
There are several types of dental fillings, and the choice depends on the clinical situation, location of the tooth, functional load and aesthetic requirements of the patient:
Composite fillings
Compomers
They combine the properties of composites and glass ionomer cements. Compomers in dentistry are used mainly in pediatric practice or in areas with less load.
Glass ionomer cements
Most often used for filling baby teeth or as temporary fillings. Cements in dentistry have good adhesion to enamel, but are less aesthetic.
How is the tooth filling process done?
The procedure takes from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case.
The process of filling a tooth in modern dentistry consists of several stages:
Inspection and diagnostics
The doctor assesses the condition of the tooth and, if necessary, takes an X-ray to determine the depth of the lesion.
Pain relief
Local anesthesia is used, making the procedure painless.
Cleaning of affected tissues
The dentist uses boron to remove carious areas.
Cavity formation
An optimal shape is created for fixing the filling.
Application of insulating materials
If the caries was deep, a gasket is placed to protect the pulp.
Installing a seal
The selected material is applied in layers, each of which is polymerized using a lamp.
Grinding and polishing
The final stage is to give the filling a natural shape, smoothness, and shine.
Does it hurt to get a filling?
Many patients are interested in this question. Thanks to modern anesthesia - no. In dentistry "Oxford Medical" we use effective painkillers that act quickly and reliably. The patient does not feel pain during tooth preparation, installation or polishing of the filling. Even when treating deep caries, you will feel calm and comfortable.

The price of a filling in Oxford Medical dentistry
The cost depends on the extent of the damage, the type of filling material and the location of the tooth. For example, a filling for a chewing tooth made of composite material may cost more than for a front tooth due to the greater volume of work. The price is also affected by the need for additional procedures - for example, pulpitis treatment.
You can preliminarily familiarize yourself with the prices here. The dentist will provide you with more detailed information about the possibilities, materials and cost of fillings during the consultation. Make an appointment at a time convenient for you.
