Cosmetic restorations
What are cosmetic dental restorations?
Cosmetic dental restorations are treatments that focus on both restoring a tooth and improving its appearance. Tooth-coloured materials can be used to correct the shape, colour or small areas of damage.
When is a cosmetic restoration suitable?
A cosmetic restoration may be considered for a chipped tooth, wear, differences in tooth shape, discolouration or a visible existing restoration. In some cases, treatment is functionally necessary; in others, it is mainly carried out for cosmetic reasons.
What symptoms may indicate that treatment is needed?
A damaged tooth may feel sharp or sensitive, but cosmetic concerns often do not cause any physical symptoms. You may simply be unhappy with the shape, colour or symmetry of a tooth.
What happens during the treatment?
We first discuss what you would like to change and assess what is dentally appropriate. We then determine which restorative technique best suits the tooth and the result you would like to achieve.
Does the treatment hurt?
This depends on the extent of the treatment. For small, superficial corrections, little or no removal of natural tooth structure may be needed. If the treatment could be sensitive, a local anaesthetic can be used.
How long does the treatment take?
Smaller cosmetic corrections can sometimes be completed in a single appointment. More extensive restorations may require several appointments.
What can you expect after the treatment?
The treated tooth may look more natural, balanced and even in shape and colour. As with any dental restoration, good daily oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups remain important.
How much do cosmetic dental restorations cost?
The cost depends on the number of teeth being treated, the technique used and the extent of the treatment. Because cosmetic treatments are highly individual, the price is usually determined after an examination and treatment planning.
Are cosmetic dental restorations covered by health insurance?
If a treatment is carried out purely for cosmetic reasons, reimbursement is usually limited or excluded. If there is also a dental indication, coverage may be different. Your additional dental insurance determines whether and how much is reimbursed.
Should I contact the dentist if something happens to the restoration?
Yes. Please contact us if a restoration breaks, becomes loose, feels sharp, causes pain or if your bite does not feel right after treatment.
