Ceramic inlays Düsseldorf

An alternative to plastic fillings

To let you chew without worry again and to prevent the tooth from being attacked by bacteria once more, the resulting hole (cavity) must be closed with a stable filling that seals tightly at the margins. For this, the dentist can use various plastic, soft fillings that are relatively inexpensive. However, these fillings are usually conspicuous and not always durable. An alternative to such fillings is high-quality ceramic inlays in Düsseldorf.

Ceramic inlays as an alternative to plastic fillings

Plastic fillings can be chosen depending on the size of the defects. The classic is silver-coloured amalgam, which is, however, controversial because of its mercury content. It is inexpensive and can also be used for larger areas, but it is visible and can be a cosmetic problem. Glass ionomer cement, a mineral cement made specifically for dental use, is only suitable as a temporary solution and must be replaced by a permanent filling. Composite is a tooth-coloured filling material consisting of 20 per cent plastic and 80 per cent fine glass particles or the salt of silicic acid. The disadvantage is that, over time and as a result of eating and drinking, the filling can become discoloured and lead to a cosmetic problem.

A beautiful and durable alternative to plastic, soft fillings is ceramic inlays in Düsseldorf. They are durable, well tolerated and invisible. They are inlay fillings made outside the mouth in a dental laboratory.

The advantages of ceramic inlays

Inlays used as dental fillings can be made of gold, plastic, a mixture of gold and ceramic, or ceramic alone. Ceramic inlays have advantages over inlays made of other materials, as they are much less conspicuous and can be matched to the colour of the tooth. They let light through and adapt to the structure of the tooth. Compared with inlays made of other materials, ceramic inlays last considerably longer. Ceramic is highly biocompatible and is completely safe as a filling material in the mouth.
Manufacture — a high degree of precision

Ceramic inlays are suitable for the back teeth and reproduce the natural tooth in shape and colour. A shade analysis is carried out to match the inlay to the patient's tooth colour. To ensure optimal chewing function in the long term, the biting surface is made individually with elaborate attention to detail. In shape and colour, ceramic inlays do not differ from the natural tooth.
An aesthetic and durable solution

Every ceramic inlay is unique, as it is matched to the shape and colour of the tooth and chosen to fit the size of the resulting hole. Because ceramic inlays do not differ from the natural tooth, you keep not only your chewing function but also your most beautiful smile. New manufacturing technologies ensure a highly accurate fit. The inlays are permanently fixed in the tooth with a special material. Ceramic inlays are considered the most beautiful alternative for dental fillings.
