Dental Filling In Dubai
Preserving Your Natural Smile.
Tooth decay, if left unchecked, can severely impact the health and appearance of your smile. Our dental fillings not only halt the progression of decay but also restore the natural allure of your teeth. Using the latest materials and techniques, our treatments ensure your fillings blend seamlessly with the rest of your teeth.
These fillings aren’t just about aesthetics. They provide the much-needed strength to the compromised tooth structure, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile without any reservations.
Types of Dental Fillings
Different patients have unique needs, and the choice of filling material can significantly affect the outcome:
Composite Fillings
Perfectly mimicking the color and texture of your natural teeth, composite fillings are versatile and blend invisibly with your existing tooth structure. They bond directly to your tooth, ensuring a secure and lasting fix.
Amalgam or Silver Fillings
Known for their durability, these silver-colored fillings are often preferred for their longevity, especially in molars where chewing pressure is intense.
Gold Fillings
Marrying aesthetics with strength, gold fillings are both visually pleasing and incredibly durable, making them a popular choice for those seeking the best of both worlds.
Benefits of Dental Fillings.
- Stops Tooth Decay: By filling cavities, you prevent further deterioration of the affected tooth.
- Restores Tooth Function: Filling a damaged tooth brings back its strength, making daily activities like chewing much easier.
- Prevents Further Damage: Unattended cavities can grow, leading to more severe dental issues. Fillings act as a protective barrier.
- Enhances Aesthetics: Modern fillings are designed to match the color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless look.
- Long-lasting Solution: With proper care, dental fillings can last many years, offering enduring benefits for your oral health.
Recognizing the Need for a Filling.
While pain is a common indicator, not all cavities make their presence felt immediately. Watch out for
- Discoloration or dark spots on your teeth
- Sensitivity to sweet or cold items
- Floss tearing in specific areas
- An unusual feeling when chewing
Early detection is vital. Regular dental check-ups allow professionals to identify and rectify potential issues before they escalate, preserving your natural tooth structure and saving you from complex treatments.
Longevity of Dental Fillings
The lifespan of a dental filling isn't just about the material used. Your oral hygiene practices, dietary habits, and even genetic factors play a role. On average, with diligent care, dental fillings can last a decade or more. However, it's crucial to attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the fillings remain intact and functional.

Hence, we've equipped our clinic with the latest in dental sedation and ensure every step, from the initial numbing to the final shaping, is as comfortable as possible.

FAQs
Most frequently asked questions
Is it normal for my tooth to feel sensitive after getting a filling?
It’s not uncommon to experience sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, or pressure after getting a dental filling, but this should subside within a few days to weeks. If the sensitivity persists, contact your dentist.
Can dental fillings be whitened like natural teeth?
No, fillings don’t respond to whitening treatments like natural teeth do. If you’re planning to whiten your teeth, it’s advisable to do so before getting a new filling so that your dentist can match the filling to your whitened tooth shade.
What should I do if my dental filling falls out?
If your filling falls out, it’s essential to contact your dentist as soon as possible. Keep the area clean and avoid eating hard or sticky foods that might damage the exposed tooth. Your dentist will guide you on the next steps and likely schedule a quick appointment.
Are there any alternatives to dental fillings for treating cavities?
Dental fillings are the most common treatment for cavities. However, if the decay is extensive, alternatives like crowns or inlays may be suggested. In cases of very deep decay, a root canal might be required. It’s best to consult with your dentist about the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.
How much does a dental filling cost in Dubai?
The cost of dental fillings in Dubai can vary depending on the type of material used, the complexity of the procedure, and the dental clinic you choose.
