Looking to restore a chipped tooth or prevent further decay? Dental fillings can be completed in a single visit at our Dubai clinic. During a consultation, your dentist will carefully examine your tooth to diagnose any minor fractures or cavities. They will then create a personalized treatment plan to get your smile healthy and whole again.
In Dubai, dentists offer various filling materials to address your specific needs. The choice will depend on factors like the severity of decay, the location of the tooth, your budget, and your dentist’s professional recommendation. Here’s a breakdown of the common types available:
Composite fillings are a popular choice for patients seeking a natural, tooth-colored solution. Made from a blend of fine glass particles and resin, they seamlessly match the shade of your surrounding teeth, making them ideal for both front and back teeth.
Amalgam fillings, also known as silver fillings, are a reliable choice known for their long-lasting durability. Composed of a metal alloy typically containing silver, copper, tin, and zinc, they can withstand strong chewing forces, making them suitable for areas of the mouth that experience heavy use. Additionally, they are often the most cost-effective filling option.
Gold fillings offer the ultimate in durability, able to withstand powerful chewing forces for many years. For some patients, the gold itself adds a desirable aesthetic quality, functioning as a unique and eye-catching dental accessory. However, it’s important to consider the cost, as gold fillings are typically the most expensive option compared to other materials.
Whether your teeth have gotten chipped, worn down, or begun to decay, dental fillings can restore your smile! Many people don’t realize that fillings can address a variety of concerns for any of your teeth. While the most common use is to ‘fill in’ a cavity and prevent future decay, fillings can also:
Restore chipped teeth
Repair worn-down teeth, which may be caused by teeth grinding or habits like nail biting
