Dental Filling: Before & After

Dental Filling Cost in Turkey

The cost of dental fillings in Turkey is significantly lower than in the UK, USA, or Western Europe, especially when using premium materials like composite resin or porcelain. This allows patients to address multiple dental needs at once for a fraction of the price.

The final price depends on the size of the cavity and the material chosen (composite vs. porcelain).

Dental Filling Price Comparison

Procedure Average Cost in UK/USA Average Cost in Turkey
Composite (White) Filling £150 - £350 £50 - £100
Porcelain Inlay/Onlay £600 - £1,200 £200 - £350

What is a Dental Filling?

A dental filling is a restorative treatment used to "fill" a hole in a tooth caused by decay. Before placing the filling, the dentist removes all the decayed material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cavity.

This simple procedure stops the decay from spreading, prevents further damage to the tooth, and restores its structural integrity. It is a fundamental part of maintaining oral health and preventing the need for more complex treatments like root canals or extractions.

 

Types of Dental Fillings We Offer (Materials)

We focus on modern, aesthetic, and durable materials for our patients:

Composite Fillings (White Fillings):

This is the most popular choice today. A composite resin material is shade-matched to your natural tooth, making it virtually invisible. It bonds directly to the tooth, providing excellent support. This is the preferred method for all teeth, including dental fillings on front teeth.

Porcelain Fillings (Inlays & Onlays):

For larger cavities, a porcelain filler (known as an inlay or onlay) is the best solution. These are custom-made in our lab to fit the cavity perfectly, offering superior durability and stain resistance. They are considered the most premium and long-lasting type of filling.

Amalgam (Silver) Fillings:

While we offer them, amalgam fillings are less common today due to their metallic appearance. We typically recommend replacing old, failing amalgam fillings with new, tooth-coloured composite ones.

 

The Dental Filling Procedure: Step-by-Step

The tooth filling process is straightforward, fast, and comfortable.

  1. Anaesthesia

    First, the area around the tooth is completely numbed using local anaesthesia. You won't feel any pain during the procedure.

  2. Removing Decay

    The dentist uses a high-precision drill to carefully remove all the decayed parts of the tooth.

  3. Cleaning and Etching

    The cavity is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. For a composite filling, the surface is "etched" with a gel to help the bonding material adhere.

  4. Placing the Filling

    • For Composite: The resin is applied in layers, with a special curing light used to harden each layer. The dentist shapes the material to match your natural tooth's anatomy.
    • For Porcelain: The dentist takes a digital scan or impression, and a temporary filling is placed. Our lab fabricates the custom inlay/onlay, which is then permanently bonded to your tooth, usually on the same or the next day.
  5. Polishing

    Once the filling is placed and hardened, it is polished to ensure a smooth, natural feel that doesn't interfere with your bite.

 

Temporary vs. Permanent Fillings

A temporary dental filling is used as a short-term solution. It is placed if a cavity needs more than one visit to treat (like a root canal) or while a permanent filling (like a porcelain inlay) is being fabricated. They are not designed to last long and will eventually be replaced by a permanent filling. A permanent filling is designed to last for many years, providing durable and long-lasting protection.

 

Who is a Good Candidate for a Dental Filling?

You are a good candidate for a dental filling if you have:

  • A "cavity" or dental decay diagnosed by a dentist.
  • Minor chips or cracks in your teeth.
  • Worn-down teeth from grinding (bruxism).
  • A desire to replace old, unsightly metal fillings.
  • Good overall oral health.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How much does a dental filling cost in Turkey?

The dental filling cost in Turkey is very low, starting from around £50 for a high-quality composite (white) filling. The price for a porcelain inlay/onlay is higher but still represents a 60-70% saving compared to UK or US prices.

 

2. Is the dental filling procedure painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel any pain. You may feel some minor sensitivity for a day or two after, which is completely normal.

 

3. How long does the tooth filling process take?

A simple composite filling is very fast, usually taking 30-60 minutes from start to finish. You can have multiple fillings done in a single appointment.

 

4. Can I get a filling on a front tooth?

Yes. For dental fillings on front teeth, we exclusively use composite resin. Our dentists will perfectly match the shade of the composite to your natural tooth, making the filling completely invisible.

 

5. How long do composite (white) fillings last?

With good oral hygiene, composite fillings are very durable and can last for 7-10 years or even longer. Porcelain inlays/onlays are even stronger and can last 15-20 years.

Professional Photography

In dentistry, high-resolution photographs are taken to evaluate the patient’s existing tooth structure and facial aesthetics. These photos are used to document and analyze the condition, color, and shape of the teeth and their harmony with the patient’s face.

 

Why is it important? Professional photographs help dentists and lab technicians plan the restoration process and achieve ideal aesthetic results.

5D Scanning

5D scanning technology allows for highly precise digital scanning of teeth and oral structures. This technology goes beyond traditional 3D scans by capturing additional information such as color, texture, and movement.

 

Why is it important? 5D scanning enables the creation of detailed digital models of teeth, allowing for more accurate and personalized restorations. This accelerates the treatment process and provides a more comfortable experience for the patient.

Use of Special Dental Burs

Special dental burs are used for shaping teeth with minimal preparation and for the precise placement of restorations. These burs are high-precision and sharp instruments.

 

Why is it important? The use of special dental burs for accurate and minimally invasive preparation maximizes the preservation of tooth structure and improves aesthetic outcomes.

Quality and Technological Laboratory Infrastructure

Dental laboratories equipped with advanced technology play a key role in the production of restorations. These labs use CAD/CAM systems, high-precision manufacturing devices, and biocompatible materials.

 

Why is it important? Laboratories with quality and technological infrastructure ensure that restorations are produced with perfect fit and aesthetics. This helps patients achieve long-lasting and natural-looking results. Minimal prep technology, with the integration of these components, provides highly aesthetic and functional restorations while preserving the natural structure of the teeth. These methods increase patient satisfaction and make treatment processes more efficient.

    Wow !!! I’ve literally just had my new smile, I’m over the moon! Had a lot of work done to get the smile I’ve wanted for years but the whole team at Dentalays have been amazing! Can’t thank them enough. Every visit I was made to feel relaxed, informed of everything that was going to take place (most of which through a brilliant translator, who was with my every step of the way) I’d highly recommend Dentalays if you’re thinking about cosmetic treatments.

    Dentalays Clinic is like home!!! Not only are our smiles beautiful and important to the entire staff! But who we are and what kind of people we are! I felt at home! Very warm atmosphere! In such a short time I got to know each of them very well! We are not just clients there, but they give everyone a lot of warmth and care! They want to get to know us. Which for me is very beautiful! Being there you will not lack anything! No matter how difficult the procedure you are going through, you receive a lot of support and care! Another thing that is important to me is that each of them does it with passion. The entire procedure must be done perfectly, every imperfection is corrected! We do not feel like a piggy bank! Because for them money is really secondary! The most important thing for the clinic is our well-being and health and satisfaction with the procedure performed! Nothing is done in a hurry and without discussing it with you or the Doctor! I loved these people and I know that I will go back there to spend some time with them! They are my second home and I know that I can always count on them! There are few people with such a good heart these days!

    DENTALAYS I love you! Thank you for everything and I miss you already! Now I know that with a smile like the one you gave me I will find my HUSBAND 😂
