What are
dental fillings?
Dental fillings are a natural alternative to preserve the tooth structure when decay persists. A dental filling treats a small hole or cavity in the tooth. To repair the cavity, the dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth tissue and fills the space with dental filling material. Apart from cavities, the dentist also repairs minor chips or cracks in your teeth. Dental fillings are also known as tooth fillings or cavity fillings.
Understanding the different types of
dental fillings
There are different types of dental fillings; primarily, they fall into two categories: direct fillings and indirect fillings.
Direct filling
In direct filling, the dentist applies filling material directly into the prepared cavity in a single appointment. The popular materials used in direct filling include,
- Amalgal or silver-colored fillings
- Composite resin or tooth-colored fillings
- Glass ionomer cement is tooth-colored and made of silica glass powder.
Indirect filling
Indirect fillings are similar to tooth-colored or composite fillings but are made in a dental laboratory. You must visit the clinic twice, the first to take the dental impressions and the second to place the dental fillings. There are two types of indirect fillings,
Inlays and onlays are the most common types of indirect fillings. Dentists use these fillings when the tooth is too damaged to support a filling but not damaged enough to warrant a dental crown. The inlays and onlays fit into the tooth structure like puzzle pieces.
The materials used in indirect fillings include,
- Gold is gold in color, mixed with other metals such as copper, silver, tin, or palladium.
- Porcelain is a tooth-colored filling that contains minerals like quartz, feldspar, and kaolin.
What are the common types of
dental filling materials?
Several dental filling materials are available in the country. The Tooth cavity is filled with silver amalgam, gold, porcelain, tooth-colored plastic, composite resin fillings, and glass ionomer. Dentists decide on the most suitable material based on the location, extent of the decay, insurance coverage, and cost.
Gold fillings
These fillings last about 10 to 15 years and don't corrode. They withstand the chewing force, and some people find them aesthetically pleasing. However, gold fillings are expensive and require additional clinic visits.
Amalgam or Silver fillings
Are less expensive than composite fillings and last about 10 to 15 years. They're the most successful dental filling material used by dentists. However, the silver color will show up while you talk.
Composites
Tooth-colored composite fillings are aesthetically pleasing and a good choice to repair broken, chipped, or worn teeth. However, compared to amalgam fillings, the material lacks durability and requires additional visits.
Ceramic fillings
The dentist measures your tooth, and the ceramic fillings are made in the dental lab with the help of a technician. The fillings have good contour, durability, and color resistance but are expensive compared to other materials.
Glass ionomer fillings
Are made of a specific type of glass material and acrylic. They're a common choice for fillings below the gum line and fillings in young children. Glass ionomer protects teeth from further decay but is weaker than composite resin.
Dental filling procedure
- Dental filling procedures vary based on the type of dental filling material.
- Generally, the dentist uses a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth so the patient feels comfortable throughout the process.
- Now, the dentist removes the decayed tooth tissue using a laser or air abrasion instrument. The choice of dental instrument depends on the dentist’s comfort level, the extent of the decay, and training.
- The dentist will check the tooth area to see if the decay has been removed completely. If it has, the dentist will prepare a space for the filling and fill the hole with the chosen dental filling material.
- The dentist will polish the rough edges and finish the procedure.
- There are a few additional steps for tooth-colored fillings: the dentist applies the tooth-colored material in different layers and uses a special light to harden each layer. The dentist shapes the composite material and trims off excess material.

FAQs
It’s normal to experience gum soreness and teeth sensitivity after a dental filling. Additional complications include throbbing toothache, pain while biting, and pain in response to cold or heat.
If tooth decay continues, it will eventually damage your tooth nerve. The tooth nerve damage leads to severe pain, sensitivity to cold and hot foods, and infection. Leaving it untreated may lead to a root canal or tooth extraction.
As per the American Dental Association(ADA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA), amalgam fillings are safe. However, a very small percentage, approximately 1%, are allergic to the mercury present in amalgam dental fillings.
The dental filling cost in Dubai depends on several factors such as type of the dental filling, size and complexity of the cavity, number of surfaces filled, clinic’s location, and dentist’s expertise.
