Dental Fillings in Warsaw
A filling restores the shape and function of a tooth damaged by decay or injury. At Adent in Mokotów we use esthetic light-cured composites (from 350 PLN) and durable porcelain inlays/onlays lasting 10-15 years. A composite filling is placed in a single visit, under anesthesia.
Types of Dental Fillings
The type of filling is matched to the size of the cavity, the tooth’s location and esthetic expectations. At Adent we place chairside fillings (composite and glass-ionomer) as well as lab-made restorations (porcelain inlays/onlays and endocrowns).
Composite
The esthetic standard – resin applied in layers and hardened with light, matched to the tooth’s color. One visit.
Glass-ionomer
A fluoride-releasing material that supports remineralization. Used in children and as a temporary filling.
Porcelain inlay/onlay
Lab-made restorations (CAD/CAM). The highest esthetics and 10-15 years of durability for large cavities.
Amalgam
Durable but not esthetic and mercury-containing – gradually being phased out in favor of composites.
Comparing Filling Materials
Each material has a different profile of durability, esthetics and price. The table below makes it easier to choose a filling together with your dentist.
| Filling type | Durability | Esthetics | Indicative cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Composite | 5-10 years | very good | 350-600 PLN |
| Glass-ionomer | 3-5 years | good | 300-400 PLN |
| Porcelain inlay/onlay | 10-15 years | highest | by quote |
| Amalgam | 7-12 years | low | 350-450 PLN |
How a Filling Procedure Works – Step by Step
Placing a composite filling happens in a single visit, most often under local anesthesia. Anesthesia keeps discomfort during the procedure to a minimum.
- Anesthesia
At the patient’s request we administer anesthesia – it keeps discomfort to a minimum and helps you relax during the procedure.
- Removing decay
The dentist removes a damaged old filling or soft decayed tissue and checks that the cavity is fully cleaned.
- Placing a matrix band
A matrix band is placed around the tooth to give the filling the correct shape and prevent plaque buildup.
- Filling with composite
The cavity is filled with composite applied in layers, each layer hardened with a curing light.
- Shaping and polishing
We give the filling its final shape and polish the surface so it is smooth and shiny.
- Bite check
We check that the filling is not too high and does not interfere with biting.
Chairside and Lab-Made Fillings
Fillings differ in how they are made. Chairside fillings are created directly at the chair; lab-made restorations are custom-produced using a 3D scan and CAD/CAM technology.
Chairside (1 visit)
Composite applied in layers and light-cured during a single visit. Ideal for typical cavities, with excellent color matching.
Lab-made (2 visits)
Inlays, onlays, overlays and endocrowns. The cavity is scanned with a 3D scanner, the design is sent to a lab, and the finished composite/porcelain restoration is cemented in place. Used for large cavities.
Fleczer and Temporary Fillings
Fleczer is a temporary filling (dental dressing) used when treatment requires several visits. It protects the tooth from bacteria and outside factors until the final filling is placed. More: Fleczer – temporary dental filling. When decay reaches the pulp, root canal treatment may be necessary, and with extensive damage a crown or composite restoration may be needed.
What to Do After Getting a Filling
Once a filling is placed, the tooth is immediately ready for normal use. It’s worth keeping a few rules in mind for the first few days.
- Eating after the visit – you can eat right away; if anesthesia is strong, wait for it to wear off before eating hard foods.
- Watch numb areas – the cheek, lip and tongue are less sensitive and easy to bite accidentally.
- Temporary sensitivity – to temperature or biting is normal and resolves within 7-14 days. If it persists longer, contact your dentist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is fleczer?
Fleczer is a temporary filling (dental dressing) that protects a tooth between treatment stages when therapy requires several visits.
Are dental fillings esthetic?
Yes. Composite fillings are color-matched to the natural tooth, and porcelain inlays/onlays provide the highest esthetics and are practically invisible.
How long does a filling last?
Composite fillings last 5-10 years, glass-ionomer 3-5 years, amalgam 7-12 years, and porcelain inlays/onlays up to 10-15 years – with proper hygiene and regular check-ups.
How do I care for a filling?
The same way as your other teeth: brushing twice a day, dental floss, limiting sugar, and check-ups every 6 months. This protects against secondary decay around the filling.
Can a tooth be sensitive after a filling?
Yes, temporary sensitivity to temperature or biting is normal and usually resolves within 7-14 days. If it lasts longer, contact your dentist.
Composite or amalgam – which should I choose?
Composite is the standard – esthetic, mercury-free and well-adhering. Amalgam is durable but not very esthetic and is gradually being phased out due to its mercury content.
