Aesthetic Fillings
Aesthetic fillings are state-of-the-art treatment options offered at our clinic. In contrast to conventional filling materials, aesthetic fillings are characterized by their natural tooth color, which allows them to blend unobtrusively into the dentition.
The advantages
of the filling
We rely on state-of-the-art composite fillings that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also provide a long-lasting and effective solution for minor dental corrections. Our focus is on optimizing your tooth preservation both functionally and aesthetically to give you a bright and healthy smile.

Nowadays, minor dental corrections can be carried out effectively and aesthetically with state-of-the-art composite fillings. Unlike amalgam, composite fillings are made of a material that matches the natural tooth color. At The Eram Clinic, we do not use amalgam fillings for health and aesthetic reasons, as amalgam contains mercury and we want to make your smile healthy and beautiful.
Aesthetic fillings offer the advantage that they can be used regardless of the shape of the defect. This means that the tooth does not have to be ground into a specific shape in order to apply a composite filling. This preserves as much of the healthy tooth structure as possible. Even very small defects can be repaired with composite without enlargement. Our dentists manually model the defect in several layers with composite material and then polish the surface to achieve a smooth finish.
The treatment is usually carried out in a single session and the treated teeth can be loaded again immediately. This provides a quick and efficient solution to minor dental problems and helps to keep your smile healthy and aesthetically pleasing.

The costs can vary depending on the type of filling, starting from CHF 300.-
If you have not received an anaesthetic and everything feels normal, you can usually eat again immediately after the treatment.
A tooth may be temporarily sensitive to pain after a filling because the treatment has irritated the tooth. This pain should normally subside within a few days.
A leaking dental filling can cause various symptoms and signs, e.g.
- Pain or sensitivity
- Discolouration or staining
- Toothache
- Changes in taste
- Gum inflammation or swelling
- Visible cracks or fissures: Inspecting your fillings for visible cracks or fissures can indicate leaks.
Yes, caries can develop. Although fillings are designed to repair damaged tooth structures and remove decay, they do not necessarily protect against future decay forever.
Contact the doctor treating you if the filling has fallen out.
Dental fillings can be replaced if they are damaged, have become loose or if the tooth has been affected by caries again.
The durability of a dental filling can depend on several factors, including the filling material used, its position in the mouth and dental care practices. In general, dental fillings can last for many years or even decades.
A dental filling is necessary if caries (tooth decay) or tooth damage is present.
Choosing the right filling material depends on several factors. Here are some important considerations:
- Type of repair
- Aesthetic preferences
- Durability
- Allergies or sensitivities
- Financial considerations
- Personal recommendation by the treating dental specialist
Ceramic fillings are considered one of the hardest types of dental fillings.
In many cases, health insurance covers the cost of standard fillings, which are usually made of amalgam (mercury alloy). However, if you choose a different, higher-quality filling for aesthetic reasons, the cost will have to be borne by yourself.
Aesthetic fillings are tooth-colored filling materials used to repair tooth decay or tooth damage.
Dental fillings can be made of various materials including amalgam, composite, ceramic or gold.
This depends on various factors, such as the extent of the damage, the location in the mouth and the patient's individual preferences. Common options include amalgam, composite, gold or ceramic. It is best to seek advice from a dentist to find the most suitable option for your specific case.
A root canal treatment involves several steps:
- An x-ray is taken to assess the situation in the tooth.
- The area over the dental nerve is opened and the nerve is removed.
- Files are used to remove tissue and clean and disinfect the canals.
- At the next appointment, the canal system will be cleaned again and prepared for the root filling using special instruments. The channels are closed with a special filling material. An x-ray will be taken to check the success of the treatment.
- The opened tooth will be sealed with a filling, and after some time a crown may be recommended to stabilize the tooth.
