About dental restorations

A dental restoration, commonly called a filling, is used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay, wear, or minor fractures. Restoring a tooth is important not only for its appearance but also for its function, untreated cavities can grow larger, cause pain, and eventually lead to infection or tooth loss.

At Dutch Dentist Dubai, we use high-quality composite resin for restorations. This material is tooth-colored and bonds directly to the tooth structure, making it both durable and discreet. Unlike older silver fillings, composites preserve more of your natural tooth and blend seamlessly with the surrounding enamel.

When do you need a restoration?

  • To treat cavities caused by tooth decay
  • To repair small fractures or chips
  • To replace old, leaking, or discolored fillings
  • To protect worn teeth caused by grinding (bruxism)

The process is simple and comfortable:

  1. The affected area is gently cleaned and prepared.
  2. The composite material is applied in layers and hardened with a special light.
  3. The filling is shaped and polished to match your bite and natural tooth surface.

Composite restorations are strong, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing. With proper care, including good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, they can last for many years.

Restoring teeth early helps prevent more complex treatments such as crowns or root canals later on. Our goal is always to keep as much of your natural tooth as possible while ensuring your smile stays healthy and beautiful.

Small Restorations – Fillings

For minor cavities or chips, a composite filling is often the best solution. The process is simple:

  1. The decayed or damaged part of the tooth is gently cleaned.
  2. Composite resin is applied in layers and hardened with a special light.
  3. The filling is shaped and polished to fit your bite and look natural.

These restorations are quick, comfortable, and usually completed in one visit.

Larger Restorations – Inlays, Onlays & Crowns

When more than half of the tooth is damaged or weakened, a simple filling may not provide enough strength. In these cases, we recommend:

  • Inlays: Custom-made pieces that fit inside the tooth’s chewing surface.
  • Onlays: Similar to inlays, but covering one or more cusps (the pointed parts of the tooth).
  • Crowns: A full coverage “cap” that protects the entire tooth when it’s too weak or damaged for a filling alone.

These solutions are stronger and longer-lasting, helping to prevent cracks or further breakdown of the tooth. They are custom-designed to fit perfectly and match the natural look of your smile.

Why early treatment matters
Catching cavities and cracks early allows us to repair them with small restorations. Waiting too long often means the tooth will need a larger, more complex treatment. Regular check-ups help us spot problems early and keep your smile strong and healthy.
