1. The price of dental fillings in Macau and its influencing factors
In Macau, there are a wide variety of dental filling material options, and the corresponding prices also vary.
Common dental filling materials include porcelain, gold and silver amalgam, and composite resin. Among them, as a relatively high-end filling, the price of inlays is usually in the range of MOP 5,000 to MOP 10,000. Gold fillings are quite expensive due to their unique material. The cost not only depends on the complexity of the repair, but also is closely related to the weight of the gold used. Amalgam fillings are a relatively low-cost option, with prices ranging from 300 to 600 patacas, depending on the size and complexity of the fillings. Composite resin fillings are favored by many patients because they can match the color of natural teeth and have excellent aesthetic effects. The cost generally ranges from 800 to 1,500 mop, depending on the size of the restoration and the complexity of the work.

3. The principle and process of filling teeth
The principle of dental fillings is actually not complicated. It is mainly used to repair damaged teeth.
When the dental filling treatment begins, the dentist will first carefully clean out all the necrotic tooth tissue. Then, an adhesive is used to connect the filling material to the dentin surface of the tooth to achieve the restoration effect. The principle is that the material used for tooth fillings forms a micro-mechanical locking structure with the tooth dentin, which can strengthen the bonding effect and prevent the filling material from falling off easily during chewing.
The process of filling a tooth will vary depending on the filling used, but the main steps are generally the same.
The first step is a dental examination to fully assess the condition of all teeth and determine whether fillings or other treatments are needed. In the second step, depending on the patient's specific condition, local anesthetic may be injected or anesthetic gel may be applied to the gums to reduce discomfort during the treatment. The third step is to remove the cavities. This step may use tools such as drills or lasers to ensure that the removed holes are completely clean and sterile, and to determine the size and shape of the holes. The fourth step is to fill the cavity with appropriate filling material. The last step is shaping and polishing. After the filling is completed, the teeth are carefully adjusted and polished to make their bite smoother.
4. The Importance of Oral Care
Oral hygiene is crucial. It is recommended that everyone pay attention to oral hygiene in daily life, develop good tooth brushing habits, and use dental floss and other auxiliary cleaning tools. At the same time, conduct regular dental check-ups to detect potential problems in a timely manner. If you find that your teeth have cavities, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible to prevent small problems from turning into big problems, thereby increasing the difficulty and cost of treatment.
If you need dental treatment, you can enjoy free face-to-face consultation and CT scan services by making an appointment in advance, and no registration fee.
