Composite fillings
White fillings of the highest quality
Do you have a cavity or wear due to grinding? Have you had a nasty fall or worn out teeth? No worries. We repair the teeth with white composite and pay a lot of attention to the finish. So you will soon have teeth to show off again.
Advantages of composite fillings
1. Tooth-coloured material
The teeth can be treated to look almost real again. So you can go through life confidently again.
2. No mercury-containing metal
A big advantage of composite fillings is that we no longer need to use mercury-containing metal in your mouth.
3. Affordable and fast
Compared to porcelain, composite is cheap and requires fewer treatments than porcelain.
4. Less invasive
Composite is applied directly in the mouth without grinding the teeth, making the treatment less invasive.

All about composite fillings
Composite is a tooth-coloured filling material made of synthetic resin. It is used to restore and beautify teeth. Because we pay close attention to the shape and finish, you are guaranteed a high-quality final result.
Composite fillings
When to choose a composite filling?
Composite can be used to restore teeth to their original shape or aesthetically embellish them. Cavities, crooked teeth or wear and tear? With composite, you can be sure to get back to natural-looking teeth for years to come.
Watch videoRubberdam
A composite filling must be applied under dry conditions so that the adhesion to the tooth is optimal and no cavities form under the filling or the filling comes loose. This is why at etiq dentists we almost always work with a rubber dam. This is a rubber patch that is used to optimally isolate the tooth and keep it dry.

Frequently asked questions
We understand you have questions. We have a lot of answers. If you are still unclear, simply contact us via the intake form.
Composite fillings are less wear-resistant than fillings made of porcelain. In addition, it is technique-sensitive, can shrink during curing and composite is prone to plaque after machining and insufficient polishing. Fortunately, at etiq dentists, we work with the best materials and techniques to prevent this.
The advantage of composite is that colour of composite is almost identical to that of your own teeth. It is fast and relatively inexpensive compared to porcelain, further, it can adhere to both enamel and dentin (adhesive dentistry). This allows for minimally invasive dentistry, where maximum healthy tooth tissue can be preserved.
Placing a composite filling is not painful. While treating a cavity, the tooth can be properly anaesthetised, making the treatment painless. If a cavity has been close to the nerve, the tooth may be a little more sensitive to heat and cold after treatment. Sometimes a cavity is so deep, and therefore close to the nerve, that root canal treatment is necessary.
The cost of a composite filling depends on the size and location. Costs range from around €70 for a small filling without anaesthesia to around €210 for a very large filling with anaesthesia and rubber dam (without any post-treatment X-ray). At etiq, we make a budget prior to treatment (above €250), so you always know what to expect.
According to scientific research, a composite filling lasts between 7 and 10 years. At etiq dentists, we are convinced that a filling can last longer if it is manufactured with the utmost precision. Of course, good oral hygiene and a proper diet also positively affect the lifespan of a composite filling.
