Dental Filling
At some point in their lives, everyone has had to deal with dental filling and had to have their teeth redone. If your teeth are decayed, Don’t worry! the Dentist will remove the damaged portion of the tooth and fill the area on the tooth, where the decayed material was removed to treat a cavity. If you have moderate decay caused by plaque, the filling is the best option. Plaque is where germs thrive. It works by filling cavities and restoring the shape, appearance, and function of the teeth without compromising their integrity. It’s a quick way to get rid of small bacterial problems, and you’ll be back to your busy schedule before you even realize the discomfort was ever there. Other tooth restorations, such as gold or ceramic crowns, are more expensive than amalgam and white-colored fillings.
We offer dental filling to replace the part of the destroyed tooth. Where the damaged and decayed part of a tooth is removed and the area is filled with replacement material, to protect against further damage and to restore the tooth’s appearance and function.
To treat a tooth with decay, fissures, or fractures, we utilize tooth-colored fillings at Hollywood Smile Dental Clinic. The decayed area of the tooth is removed and the cavity is replaced with a tooth-colored composite material. Although tooth-colored fillings are the most attractive because they match the color of your teeth, silver amalgam fillings are occasionally the greatest option. Our white tooth filling in Dubai is long-lasting, however, they may need to be replaced after a while. Filling costs varies clinic to clinic. At Hollywood Smile Clinic we are offering filling for just 100 AED.
Dental fillings come in a variety of materials and can be filled in one of two ways:
Direct Filling
After cleaning out the decay/area and contouring the cavity to hold the filling material, the fillings are inserted directly into the damaged region of the tooth. A bonding substance is then used to apply materials such as amalgam or composite resin to the area. With the help of a particular light, the substance hardens swiftly. Layers of fillings are added. The last layer is contoured to provide a more natural appearance.
Indirect Filling
These procedures entail the implantation of custom-made fillings created from a mold of the injured tooth. Both techniques require the administration of a local anesthetic, however, indirect fillings necessitate at least two dental appointments.
Types of Dental Filling
There are several types of dental fillings available, including:
Amalgam fillings: also known as silver fillings, these are made of a mixture of metals including silver, copper, tin, and mercury.
Composite fillings: also called white fillings, these are made of a mixture of plastic and glass and are designed to match the color of your teeth.
Ceramic fillings: made of porcelain, these fillings are more resistant to staining than composite fillings and are also designed to match the color of your teeth.
Glass ionomer fillings: made of a mixture of acrylic and glass powders, these fillings release fluoride to help prevent decay and are often used for children’s teeth.
Gold fillings: made of a mixture of gold, copper, and other metals, these fillings are durable and long-lasting, but also the most expensive option.
Stainless steel fillings: often used for children’s primary teeth, these pre-made fillings are placed quickly and easily.
Your dentist can help you choose the best type of filling for your individual needs based on factors such as the location and extent of the decay, your budget, and your personal preferences.
Aftercare for Dental Fillings:
After filling, it’s important to take good care of your teeth and gums to ensure that the filling stays in place and your oral health remains in good condition. Here are some aftercare tips for fillings:
Avoid eating or drinking for at least an hour after the filling procedure to allow the filling to set properly.
Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods that could dislodge the filling. Only consume soft, easily masticated foods for the first few meals to allow tooth filling to settle down properly.
Avoid extremely hot and cold foods and beverages. can cause the fillings to come loose. Chew on the side of your mouth opposite the filling.
Continue to brush and floss your teeth regularly, being careful not to apply too much pressure on the filled tooth.
Use a fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash to help prevent decay and strengthen your tooth enamel.
If you experience any pain or sensitivity after the filling procedure, talk to your dentist about over-the-counter pain relievers or prescription medication.
Attend regular dental checkups to ensure that your filling is still intact and your teeth and gums are healthy.
If you notice any changes in the appearance or sensitivity of your filling, contact your dentist right away to schedule an appointment for evaluation.

Alternatives to Dental Fillings
There are several alternatives to dental fillings depending on the severity of tooth decay and the patient’s preferences. Here are some options:
Dental crowns: A dental crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth and is typically used when a tooth has significant decay or damage. Crowns are typically made up of porcelain, ceramic, or metal.
Inlays and Onlays: Inlays and onlays are similar to fillings but cover a larger area of the tooth. They are custom made in a lab and then bonded to the tooth.
Dental bonding: Dental bonding is a process that involves applying a tooth-colored resin material to the tooth to repair damage or decay. It is less expensive than other options, but may not be as durable as a crown or inlay.
Root canal: If decay has reached the tooth pulp, a root canal may be necessary. During a root canal, the infected pulp is removed and the tooth is filled with a special material.
Tooth extraction: In cases where decay is extensive and a tooth cannot be saved, tooth extraction may be necessary. This can be followed by tooth replacement options such as dental implants or bridges.
Your dentist can help you determine the best course of treatment based on the severity of your tooth decay, your overall oral health, and your personal preferences.
