What Is Teeth Filling in Dubai?
Teeth filling in Dubai is a common dental treatment used to repair a tooth cavity caused by decay or damage. Initially, the dentist removes the damaged portion of the tooth and then fills the cavity with a dental material to fill the gap. There are several occurrences where tooth fillings are necessary, including tooth decay, broken or cracked teeth, and cavities. The primary objective of the procedure is to bring back tooth functionality, repair its structure, and restore its aesthetics with a natural look. Meanwhile, it also functions to protect the tooth from future decay and alleviate sensitivity or pain.
Several dental procedures rely heavily on teeth filling to be completed. For example, a permanent white filling is installed to restore the tooth completely and strengthen it after a root canal in Dubai.
Our dentists care deeply about their patients and understand the importance of making them feel comfortable during treatments. This attitude stems from our intention to be the best clinic to apply teeth filling in Dubai.
Types of Teeth Filling Material
1) Composite Fillings: Composite dental fillings Are conveniently tooth-coloured and have the most natural appearance in comparison with other alternatives – this is why they’re a favorable option for the majority of patients. They imitate the function of your natural tooth enamel with the use of hard plastics and glass. Composites are durable, but not strong enough to handle the great pressure of chewing forces, so they’re preferably applied to front teeth rather than molars.
2) Amalgam/Silver Fillings: This is a combination of various metals like silver, mercury, tin, and copper. This unique combination of metals is strong, hard-wearing, and inexpensive when compared to other types of fillings. They have a silver, metallic look that isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing, and as a result, they’re often used for teeth fillings at the back of the mouth where they can be hardly seen. We no longer use amalgam fillings due to the mercury content which is hazardous to human health.
3) Ionomer Fillings: These tooth-coloured glass fillings provide a strong and long-lasting restoration as they bond with the tooth structure. They’re resistant to wear and tear, making them a good fit for restoring teeth in areas with heavy chewing forces. Furthermore, ionomer fillings release fluoride, which helps prevent further decay and strengthens tooth structure. However, this type of filling is ideal for small to medium-sized cavities, milk teeth, or as a temporary filling.
4) Gold Fillings: Have been used in dentistry for a very long time. They’re dental fillings made from gold alloy, which is biocompatible, meaning it’s well-tolerated by the body and does not cause adverse reactions or allergies. They’re also incredibly strong and durable on account of their ability to maintain both size, shape, and color. They’re almost immune to wear and tear or corrosion due to their resilient material, making them a good fit for patients who have a heavy bite or deal with teeth grinding. Gold fillings are custom-made and require two visits to be completed.
5) Ceramic Fillings: Also known as porcelain fillings, are similar to gold and composite fillings in different aspects. They too are custom-made and require multiple visits to be installed, but they’re less expensive than gold ones. Just like composite fillings, they’re tooth-coloured and virtually invisible, making them a good alternative for patients who are after a more discreet approach. The advantages of ceramic fillings include durability, resistance to staining, and aesthetic appearance.
Any, If not all types of fillings are befitting treatments that conclude various dental procedures, regardless if it’s a root canal or a tooth extraction in Dubai, we can efficiently provide you with the correct filling and the satisfactory results you hope for.
Teeth Filling Procedure
Teeth fillings are a common dental procedure in our clinic. Our highly skilled dentists in Dubai will ensure this procedure is quick, efficient, and painless. Here’s an outline that explains the procedure step by step:
1) The dentist will examine the affected tooth, then take x-rays to determine the extent of the damage and if a filling is necessary.
2) Before the procedure begins, a local anesthetic will be administered to numb the tooth and minimize discomfort.
3) Afterwards, the dentist will remove the decay using a drill, laser, or air abrasion instrument. This creates a clean area for the filling.
4) Now that the tooth is clean, it’ll be prepared for the filling material by using an acidic substance to prepare the enamel and improve bonding.
5) The selected filling material will be carefully applied into the prepared cavity in layers. Restoring natural texture and contours of the teeth.
6) If the filling requires “curing” by a special light, this is applied after each layer.
7) The dentist will check your bite and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a proper fit. The filled tooth is then polished to smooth out any rough edges.
Benefits
Protection: Filling helps to protect the tooth from further damage or decay. It seals off any holes or cracks in the tooth, preventing bacteria from entering and causing infection.
Prevention of pain and sensitivity: Teeth Filling can help to alleviate toothache and sensitivity caused by cavities or damaged teeth. By sealing off the affected area, the filling can reduce or eliminate any discomfort experienced.
Restoration of tooth function: Filling restores the functionality of the tooth, allowing for normal chewing and biting. It can strengthen the tooth and help maintain its shape and integrity.
Preservation of tooth structure: Filling helps to preserve the natural tooth structure by preventing the need for more extensive dental treatments such as root canals or extractions. It allows for the preservation of the natural tooth, which is generally better for oral health.
Cost-effective: Teeth filling is generally a more affordable option compared to other dental procedures for treating cavities or damaged teeth. It can address dental issues early on, preventing the need for more expensive and invasive treatments in the future.
