Kompozitní výplň: Co to je, kolik stojí a kdy je lepší než korunka

When you need a quick fix for a cavity or a chipped front tooth, kompozitní výplň, plomba z plastického materiálu, která se přizpůsobí tvaru zubu a barvě vašich zubů. Also known as kompozitní plomba, it is the most common way to restore damaged teeth without removing much of the natural structure. Unlike metal fillings from decades ago, modern composite fillings blend in so well that even your dentist might have trouble finding them later.

They’re not just for fixing cavities. Many people choose kompozitní výplň, materiál používaný k opravě zubů a vylepšení jejich vzhledu to close gaps between teeth, fix minor misalignments, or rebuild worn-down edges. It’s the same material used in kompozitní fazety, tenké vrstvy, které se přilepí na přední zuby pro estetický efekt — just applied directly, without impressions or lab work. That’s why it’s faster and cheaper than porcelain veneers, but still gives you a natural-looking smile.

How long do they last? If you brush well, avoid biting nails or ice, and visit your hygienist regularly, a good composite filling can last 7–10 years. But if you grind your teeth or eat a lot of sticky candy, it might chip sooner. That’s why some dentists recommend a crown for back teeth under heavy pressure — but for front teeth or small cavities, composite is often the smart choice.

Price-wise, you’ll pay between 800 and 2,500 Kč per filling, depending on how big the damage is and where you live. Prague clinics might charge more, but smaller towns often offer better deals. And unlike crowns, you don’t need to grind down healthy tooth structure — the dentist just removes the decay and fills it in. No shots, no temporary crowns, no waiting weeks.

It’s not perfect. Over time, composite can stain from coffee, tea, or red wine. It’s not as strong as ceramic, so it’s not ideal for large fillings in molars. But for most people — especially those who want to fix a small chip or hide a dark spot without spending thousands — it’s the sweet spot between cost, speed, and results.

What you’ll find below are real stories from people who chose composite fillings — some saved their tooth before it got worse, others fixed a smile they were ashamed of, and a few learned the hard way that cheap fillings don’t always last. Whether you’re dealing with a cavity, a cracked edge, or just want your front teeth to look more even, these posts will show you what actually works — and what’s just marketing.
