Composite Bonding & White Fillings in Dubai

While fillings are the go-to solution for cavities, alternative approaches might be considered depending on the severity of the decay. For significant decay, a dental crown or inlay could be recommended to offer additional strength and support to the tooth. In situations where the decay reaches the tooth’s root, a root canal procedure might be necessary. Our dentists at Vilafortuny Dubai will conduct a thorough examination and discuss the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

It’s fairly common to experience temporary sensitivity to hot, cold, sweet, or pressure after receiving a filling. This sensitivity usually subsides within a few days to weeks. However, if the sensitivity persists, contact our dental team for further evaluation.

Unfortunately, dental fillings don’t respond to teeth whitening treatments in the same way natural teeth do. If you’re planning on whitening your teeth, it’s recommended to do so before getting a new filling. This allows your dentist to perfectly match the filling material to your newly brightened smile.

If your filling comes loose or falls out completely, it’s vital to contact your dentist at Vilafortuny Dubai as soon as possible. In the meantime, maintain proper oral hygiene around the exposed area and avoid eating hard or sticky foods that could damage the tooth. We will schedule an appointment to address the issue and restore your filling promptly.

Dentists typically recommend waiting until after the jawbone has fully developed, around 21 years old, before placing bridges. However, there can be exceptions for younger patients who have lost permanent teeth. In such cases, alternative solutions like Maryland bridges and temporary partial dentures might be explored.

Dental bridges typically replace one to three missing teeth in a row. In some cases, up to four consecutive teeth can be bridged. However, longer bridges require more support from surrounding teeth. Our dentists at Vilafortuny Dubai will consider these factors when creating your personalised treatment plan.

While replacing missing teeth promptly is recommended to prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, there might be situations where a few months of waiting are necessary. For instance, if a tooth extraction is required before bridge placement, allowing your gums and jawbone time to heal is crucial for optimal bridge placement. Our team at Vilafortuny Dubai can advise you on the best course of action.

The bridge placement procedure itself shouldn’t be painful, as local anaesthesia is used to numb the area. Our dentists at Vilafortuny Dubai prioritize your comfort throughout the process.

It can take some time to get used to your new dental bridge, but eventually, it should feel similar to your natural teeth.

The ease of removing a bridge depends on its current condition. Loose bridges are generally simpler to remove and recement at Vilafortuny Dubai. However, bridges needing removal for other reasons, like treating gum disease, might break during the process, necessitating a new bridge.
