🆕 White filling — now for adults too

  • aesthetic or layered — pay the difference

🆕 Amalgam is phasing out

From 01.07.2026, amalgam is practically banned (mercury) — only for medical reasons.

Important. 🆕 If in 2026 they still offer you "only amalgam for free" — this is no longer true: from 01.01.2026, a basic white filling will also be covered for adults. And the dentist must tell you in advance where there will be an extra charge.
