A tooth filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape.
When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with a filling material. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-coloured fillings), and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).
Inlay/Onlay
An inlay or onlay may be recommended over a direct filling in cases of more extensive decay. While the latter involves direct application of the filling material to the tooth, an Inlay or onlay is fabricated in our lab and then bonded to the tooth. Although these pure ceramic restorations are more expensive options than traditional fillings, they do offer several advantages:

What is a Tooth Filling?
A tooth filling is a means by which a tooth affected by decay can be restored to its normal shape and function. During treatment, the decayed parts of the tooth are removed and the affected area is cleaned. A filling material is then used to seal the spaces through which bacteria can enter.
Are there different ways of filling a tooth?
Depending on the amount and area of tooth to be filled, a cavity can be corrected using one of three methods.
Direct Filing
A direct filing involves placing soft filling material (usually made of composite resin) directly into the prepared tooth. The material then sets hard to seal the affected area.
Inlay
An inlay may be recommended over a direct filling in cases of more extensive decay. While the latter involves direct application of the filling material to the tooth, an Inlay is made of a pure ceramic material and is fabricated in a lab and then boned to the tooth. Although an inlay is a more expensive option than a traditional filling, it offers several advantages:
- Excellent resistance to biting force
- Highly protective against recurrent decay
- Durable E.max pure ceramic materials for a superior aesthetic
Onlay
If the area of decay extends to the borders (or cusps) of the tooth, an onlay may be indicated. Inlays and direct filings are suitable only when a significant portion of the tooth’s biting surface is free of decay; in cases of wider damage, pure ceramic onlays may be recommended as a conservative alternative to a crown. Onlays are prefabricated in our lab and boned to the tooth, and offer the same aesthetic and protective attributes as inlays.
How much will a Tooth Fillingand Ceramic Inlay cost?
Tooth filings start from just £60/70 EUR per tooth (prices may vary depending on the complexity). If you have additional requirements, the total price will depend on the treatment type needed.
Inlays or onlay cost varies depending on the applied material. E.max ceramic inlay/onlay costs £310/350 EUR, and require 2-3 days to complete. Composite inlays or onlays are available for only £180/200 EUR.
