Tooth-colored dental fillings in Dubai, UAE

If your dentist has told you that you need a filling, it can be easy to delay getting the treatment done, especially if the tooth is not causing you pain. However, over time, a small area of decay can turn into a larger, more invasive problem that requires much more time-intensive and costly treatments. In some cases, decay can even lead to the loss or extraction of a tooth, which then results in the need for a false tooth replacement such as a dental implant or bridge. Halting the decay process while a cavity is small by getting a dental filling allows you to avoid all of this and save your natural tooth, while preserving your overall oral health.

The tooth decay filling procedure consists of two main steps: first, removing the source of decay in the tooth, and then filling it in with tooth-colored composite resin. To do this, we:

• Use local anesthetic to numb the tooth that will be treated for a pain-free experience
• Use specialized instruments to gently remove the damaged portion of the tooth, which halts the decay process
• Place the tooth-colored filling material into the tooth layer by layer, using a blue light to cure and harden it for a strong and durable result
• Shape the filling to match your natural tooth grooves and bite

The composite restoration material that we use allows us to place tooth-colored fillings that blend in seamlessly with your smile. This same material can also be used in a dental bonding procedure to perform teeth gap fillings that close the space between teeth, fill a broken tooth, or repair other minor cosmetic issues with a tooth.
