Composite Fillings & Restorations
Tooth-coloured fillings, inlays and onlays from €80 — natural-looking repairs, usually in a single visit.
About this treatment
Composite is a tooth-coloured material used to repair decay, chips and worn edges. It is bonded directly to the tooth and shaped in place, so the repair blends with the surrounding enamel instead of showing as a dark patch the way old amalgam fillings do.
For larger cavities we also offer laboratory-made inlays, onlays and overlays, which restore more of the tooth's original strength and shape. Which option suits you depends on how much healthy tooth is left, and we will explain the difference before deciding.

Is this treatment right for you?
Composite is the standard choice for most small and medium cavities and for cosmetic repairs to chipped front teeth. If a tooth is very heavily broken down or has had root canal treatment, a crown or an onlay usually gives a more durable result. We will tell you plainly when a filling is the sensible answer and when it would only be a short-term fix.
How the treatment works
The area is numbed, decay is removed and the cavity cleaned. The composite is then applied in thin layers, each hardened with a curing light, and finally shaped and polished so it matches the contour and shade of your tooth. Most fillings take thirty to ninety minutes depending on size, and you can eat normally straight afterwards.
Aftercare and durability
No special care is needed beyond good brushing and cleaning between the teeth. Some mild sensitivity to cold in the first days is normal. Composite fillings typically last five to ten years; they can stain slightly over time with coffee, tea and tobacco, and are straightforward to polish or replace when needed.
Cost compared with Western Europe
Our composite fillings start at €80, against typically higher per-filling costs in the Netherlands and Germany. If you need several fillings, combining them into one visit in Antalya keeps both the cost and the number of appointments down.
Frequently asked questions
Can old amalgam fillings be replaced with composite?
Yes, and many international patients ask for this. We remove the old filling, check the tooth underneath for decay and rebuild it in tooth-coloured composite. If the remaining tooth is weak, we may suggest an onlay or crown instead.
Will the filling match my other teeth?
Composite comes in a wide range of shades and we select one against your natural enamel before starting. On front teeth we layer different shades to reproduce the way a real tooth varies from edge to base.
