Tooth-Colored Fillings at Seoul Lab Dental Clinic (Uijeongbu)

Learn more

Small cavities and chipped edges are simple to repair when treated early. At Seoul Lab Dental Clinic, we use shade-matched composites and ceramic inlays/onlays to restore strength and appearance—planned conservatively, bonded precisely, and explained in clear, English-friendly terms.

Do I Need a Tooth-Colored Filling?

  • Sensitivity to sweets, cold, or heat
  • Visible dark spot, pit, or rough edge
  • Food catching between the same teeth
  • A small chip or worn edge on a front tooth

Your Aesthetic Options

Composite (White) Fillings

  • Best for small–medium cavities or chips
  • Custom shade-matched for a seamless look
  • Minimally invasive; strong adhesive bonding to enamel/dentin

Ceramic Inlays & Onlays

  • Ideal for larger cavities or weakened cusps
  • Custom-milled porcelain for high strength and precise fit
  • More conservative than a full crown while restoring durability
If decay is very deep or extensive, we’ll discuss root canal therapy and a crown to protect the tooth long term.

Our Comfort-First Process

  1. Diagnosis & Photos – Focused exam and any necessary X-rays; we show you what we see.
  2. Gentle Numbing & Isolation – Comfortable anesthesia as needed; clean, dry field for reliable bonding.
  3. Conservative Decay Removal – Only the damaged tooth structure is removed.
  4. Placement & Shaping – Layered composite cured for strength or digital scan for ceramic inlay/onlay.
  5. Bite Check & Polish – Smooth finish and comfortable bite before you leave.

Materials & Aesthetics

  • Nanohybrid composites that blend with natural enamel
  • High-strength ceramics with enamel-like translucency
  • Adhesive techniques for a tight seal and long-lasting result

Aftercare & Longevity

  • Avoid chewing until numbness wears off
  • Mild cold sensitivity for a few days is common—usually settles
  • Brush and floss daily; use non-abrasive toothpaste
  • Nightguard recommended if you clench or grind

Prevention Tips

  • Fluoride toothpaste 2× daily; clean between teeth every day
  • Limit frequent sugary/acidic snacks and drinks
  • Rinse with water after coffee/tea
  • Check-ups every 6 months (or 3–4 months if high risk)

FAQs

Will the filling be visible?
No—composites and ceramics are color-matched to blend with your tooth.

Composite or ceramic—how do I choose?
Composite suits small–medium repairs; ceramic is stronger for larger defects. We’ll show you images and compare options.

How long does treatment take?
Most composites: 30–60 minutes. Ceramic inlay/onlay: one or two visits depending on your schedule.

What happens if I wait?
Decay spreads and can lead to pain, fracture, or root canal/extraction.
