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?
-
Assessment of the condition of the tooth – the dentist checks the tightness and integrity of the root canal filling
-
Cleaning and preparation of the tooth – the tooth surface is properly formed
-
Application of the composite material – layered, with precise shape modeling
-
Light curing – each layer of the composite is fixed with a curing lamp
-
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!
