Dental fillings: fillings in Lviv

When is dental filling necessary?

1. Deep and moderate cavities. The dentist has to remove a lot of tooth tissue, which needs to be replaced.
2. Injuries. Chips, cracks, and even deep scratches in the enamel can lead to rapid tooth decay. A high-quality filling stops this process.
3. Pulpitis treatment. Deep decay and inflammation require cleaning of the canals. They are sealed with a filling.
4. Wear of old fillings. Even the highest-quality materials are not eternal — especially if dentist recommendations are ignored. Over time, they may break down or darken, so we recommend replacing them with new fillings.

When is dental filling not recommended?

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding. Professional oral hygiene and dental filling require special anesthetics and anti-inflammatory agents. They may affect the fetus and milk composition, so prior consultation is essential.
• Exacerbation of chronic diseases. Main contraindications include oral diseases, systemic infections, heart failure, post-stroke effects, hepatitis, decompensated diabetes, etc.
• Mental disorders and drug addiction. If a patient cannot control their behavior, dental treatment may cause more harm. Decisions are made individually — usually filling is possible after stabilization.

Why are dental fillings needed?

Many people think they can simply “endure” dental and gum problems. This often happens when a single tooth outside the smile zone is affected. A person quickly adapts to pain and discomfort.

However, after some time, the problem progresses rapidly. Deep cavities completely destroy the tooth and often spread to adjacent teeth. The load on the jaw changes, and other teeth start wearing out much faster. Chronic inflammation and oral infections can also lead to serious complications affecting the heart, kidneys, and nervous system.

Therefore, any dental problem should be addressed immediately. The cost of a tooth filling in Lviv is much lower than implantation, systemic treatment, or bone restoration.

Main types of dental fillings

All fillings are divided into two categories. A temporary filling is placed during cavity treatment to seal root canals or stop the decay process. It is also used when there is a risk of reinfection or further decay. A temporary filling is easily removable, so it should be handled with great care.

A permanent filling made from durable material is securely fixed to the tooth. It lasts 3–5 years or more — sometimes up to 10–15 years. For permanent dental fillings the following technologies are used:

• Amalgam fillings based on metal. A budget-friendly way to restore a tooth. It is a strong material but may differ in color and texture from natural enamel.
• Composite fillings made of polymer materials. Very flexible, easy to shape, and moldable, but become very hard after setting. This is the most popular technology — affordable and long-lasting.
• Ceramic fillings. A premium option used for artistic restoration of the tooth row. Ceramics fully restore the appearance and function of natural teeth and last over 5 years.

Stages of Dental Filling

1. Diagnosis. A consultation with a dentist helps determine the extent of tooth damage and select the optimal set of services.
2. Anesthesia. We use effective certified anesthetics. Thanks to this, even pediatric dentistry in Lviv becomes a pleasant service that does not scare children.
3. Cleaning. The specialist performs cavity treatment. All affected tissues are removed and the cavity is smoothed to prepare for filling.
4. Placement. A medicinal treatment is applied for disinfection. Adhesive material is applied to healthy tissue, followed by the layered application of a photopolymer filling.
5. Polishing. The dentist shapes the filling and ensures it does not interfere with chewing or speaking. If a braces system is used, all orthodontic requirements are taken into account.

Care after Dental Filling

On the first day, avoid very hard foods and products with natural or synthetic colorants. This helps prevent damage and discoloration of the filling.

Further recommendations are standard — careful cleaning with a quality toothbrush and toothpaste, use of dental floss. After 6 months, it is worth booking a check-up with your dentist. Professional hygiene is also recommended — it helps prevent inflammation and bacterial buildup.

Pain-Free and Fear-Free Dental Filling

The reason to book an appointment for dental treatment in Lviv is that we use an anesthetic that ensures comfort during the procedure. You will feel only pressure and vibrations — no pain. For children, we offer non-injection medications in the form of chews and syrups.

If you have very high sensitivity or fear dental procedures, we can provide treatment under sedation. This is a convenient solution for complex cases requiring multiple fillings at once.
