What is a photopolymer filling?

Photopolymer filling — is a filling material that hardens under the influence of a special light source (usually blue spectrum). The basis is photopolymer materials: resins with fillers that provide mechanical strength and density of the connection with the tooth tissue. Due to its physical properties, the photopolymer perfectly imitates the natural color of enamel, which makes it indispensable in aesthetic dentistry.

This type of filling is suitable for the restoration of both chewing and anterior teeth, as well as for eliminating defects in shape or shade.

Photopolymer filling: pros and cons

This is an important question that concerns many patients before treatment.

Advantages

Aesthetics. The material is easy to match to the color of natural enamel, so the filling is almost invisible.
Reliability. Modern photopolymers in dentistry have high wear resistance and withstand chewing load.
Minimal preparation. To install such a filling, the dentist preserves healthy tooth tissue as much as possible.
Possibility of modeling. The material is plastic until polymerization, so the doctor can accurately recreate the anatomical shape of the tooth.
Fast hardening. Thanks to the action of light, the hardening process takes a few seconds.

Disadvantages

Risk of shrinkage of the material during polymerization, which requires precision from the doctor.
The material is sensitive to moisture, so it is important to carefully isolate the tooth during treatment.
The cost is higher compared to amalgam or cement fillings, but this is offset by durability and aesthetics.

How do photopolymer fillings differ from other types of fillings?

Different types of filling materials are used in dentistry: composites, cements, amalgams, glass ionomers. The main difference between photopolymers is the method of hardening and versatility.

Unlike traditional cements, dental photopolymer hardens only under the influence of light, which allows the doctor to work with the material as much as necessary. Compared to amalgam, photopolymer wins in aesthetic qualities and does not contain metals. Glass ionomer cements have worse wear resistance and are used mainly in pediatric dentistry or as a temporary solution.

Photopolymers also differ in composition: modern photopolymer materials contain special fillers that increase strength and resistance to abrasion.

How is the process of installing a photopolymer filling done?

This approach provides not only functionality, but also aesthetics — the result is a full-fledged photopolymer restoration.

The procedure for installing a photopolymer filling consists of several stages:

Inspection and diagnostics

The dentist assesses the condition of the tooth and takes a targeted scan if necessary.

Anesthesia

For the patient's comfort, local anesthesia is administered.

Preparation of the carious cavity

The affected tooth tissues are removed, and a cavity is formed for the filling.

Insulation

A rubber dam or other methods of protection against saliva and moisture are used.

Applying adhesive

This is a special component that improves adhesion between the filling and the tooth.

Applying photopolymer in layers

Each layer is formed and polymerized using a lamp.

Modeling

The doctor recreates the anatomical shape of the tooth, taking into account the bite.

Polishing

The final stage is grinding and polishing the filling to a shine.

Lifespan and care of a photopolymer filling

The average lifespan of a photopolymer filling is 5-10 years. It depends on the installation technique, individual bite characteristics, and thorough hygiene. To extend the life of the filling, it is important to undergo regular preventive examinations and follow the dentist's recommendations.

Proper care for a photopolymer filling includes daily hygiene, careful chewing of solid foods, and timely professional teeth cleaning.

Frequently asked questions

Photopolymer filling: what is it?

This is a filling made of a modern material that hardens under the influence of light. The photopolymer allows the dentist to restore the shape, color and function of the tooth with high precision. This type of filling is aesthetic, durable and almost invisible on the teeth, especially on the front ones, therefore it is widely used in therapeutic dentistry.

How much does a photopolymer filling cost?

The cost depends on the depth of the tooth damage, the size of the filling and the complexity of the restoration. The price is also shaped by the quality of the material and the level of the clinic. At Oxford Medical, you can get a preliminary estimate during the consultation, and the dentist will announce the final cost after the examination.

Is a photopolymer filling harmful?

Modern photopolymers undergo strict certification and are safe for the body. They do not contain mercury, like amalgams, and adapt well in the oral cavity. With proper installation and adherence to the technique, a photopolymer filling is not harmful to health and does not cause allergies.

What can't you eat after a photopolymer filling?

In the first few hours, it is worth refraining from eating too hard, sticky or hot foods, especially if the filling is installed on the chewing surface. This will help avoid discomfort and reduce the risk of microcracks. It is recommended to temporarily limit chewing on the restored tooth.

When can you eat after a photopolymer filling?

Thanks to light curing, the photopolymer becomes hard immediately after installation. However, doctors advise waiting at least 1 hour before eating to avoid injuring the mucous membrane or overloading the tooth. It is optimal to start with soft or liquid food.

Ганна 22.01.2026

Дуже вдячні лікарю, адміністрації, всій команді. Приїхали у Київ на операцію з Запоріжжя. У день операції у клініці було відсутнє живлення через масовані обстріли на енергосистему. Колектив з порозумінням сприйняв нашу ситуацію, приїзд за важких умов, професійно організували оперування в іншій кліниці. Ви команда професіоналів! Дякуємо!

Віталіна Павлівна дуже уважно поставилася до моєї ситуації. Працює дуже акуратно, не було жодного відчуття страху. Після лікування нарешті зник дискомфорт, за що їй щиро вдячна.
