Composite filling after root canal treatment

500zł

Aesthetic and functional tooth reconstruction after endodontics

After effective root canal treatment, it is extremely important to properly protect the tooth – both in terms of tightness and aesthetics. Composite filling allows the tooth to be rebuilt in a permanent and natural way, protecting it from reinfection and mechanical damage.

This procedure is usually performed as the last stage of root canal treatment and allows the tooth to quickly return to full chewing function.

Description

When do we make composite filling?

  • After root canal treatment of the anterior or posterior tooth
  • When the defect is not so extensive that a prosthetic crown or onlay is necessary
  • As a temporary solution before planned prosthetic reconstruction
  • When you want a quick and aesthetic effect

What does the procedure look like?

  1. Assessment of the condition of the tooth – the dentist checks the tightness and integrity of the root canal filling

  2. Cleaning and preparation of the tooth – the tooth surface is properly formed

  3. Application of the composite material – layered, with precise shape modeling

  4. Light curing – each layer of the composite is fixed with a curing lamp

  5. Polishing and bite adjustment – final finish for comfort and aesthetics

Advantages of composite filling after root canal treatment:

  • Natural effect – perfect match to the colour and shape of the tooth
  • Protection against reinfection and cracks
  • Speed of execution – often possible during one visit
  • Comfort of use – no discomfort when eating or talking
  • An aesthetically pleasing and durable solution at an affordable price

Good to know:

Composite filling is not always sufficient in the case of an extensive defect after root canal treatment. In such a situation, the doctor may suggest an alternative in the form of prosthetic inlays (inlay/onlay/overlay) or a prosthetic crown.

Take care of the durability of the effects of root canal treatment. A composite filling is not only aesthetics, but above all safety and tight reconstruction of your tooth. Consult our dentist and choose the best solution for you!
