About the treatment

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are tooth-coloured fillings made from a blend of resin and fine glass particles. They are bonded directly onto the tooth to repair a cavity, restoring its shape and strength while matching the natural colour of your enamel, which is why they're often called white fillings.

At Mint Dental Care, this direct composite restoration is shaped, layered, and hardened with a curing light in a single visit. The result is a strong, metal-free restoration that looks completely natural and protects the tooth from further decay.

  • Resin composite filling matched to your tooth shade
  • Bonds directly to the tooth for a tight, sealed fit
  • Preserves more of your healthy natural tooth
  • A discreet, metal-free alternative to silver fillings
Comparison

Composite vs. Amalgam Fillings: Which Is Better?

YOUR APPOINTMENT

What to Expect When Getting a Composite Filling

Examination

Your dentist checks the tooth and confirms that a composite filling is the right cavity treatment for you.

Gentle Preparation

The area is numbed, decay is carefully removed, and the tooth is cleaned and prepared for bonding.

Layering & Bonding

The resin composite filling is shade-matched, applied in thin layers, and set firm with a curing light.

Shaping & Polishing

The filling is shaped to your bite and polished to a natural shine, all in one comfortable visit.

Durability

How Long Do Composite Fillings Last?

With good care, modern white fillings typically last between 7 and 10 years, and often longer. A few key factors influence how long your restoration stays at its best.

Filling location

Fillings on hard-chewing back teeth take more force than those on front teeth.

Daily hygiene

Consistent brushing and flossing protect the seal and keep new decay away.

Eating habits

Frequent grinding or very hard, sticky foods can wear a filling down sooner.

Regular check-ups

Routine visits let us spot and refresh a filling long before any problem grows.

Aftercare

Caring for Teeth with Composite Fillings

Looking after a tooth-coloured filling is simple, the same good habits that protect your natural teeth will keep your white fillings healthy for years.

Brush Twice Daily

Use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft brush to keep the filling and gumline clean.

Floss Every Day

Cleaning between teeth stops new decay forming around the edges of the restoration.

Limit Staining Drinks

Coffee, tea, and red wine can slowly stain composite, so rinse or brush after.

Avoid Hard Habits

Don't chew ice or open packets with your teeth, protect the filling from chipping.

I recently had a tooth filling done, and Dr. Zee was extremely professional throughout the entire experience. He was a great listener and provided clear, helpful advice. The procedure itself was smooth, quick, and much easier than I expected.

I recently went in for a general check-up, cleaning, and X-ray, and I had such a great experience. I’m usually very anxious about dental visits because I’ve had some really bad experiences in Dubai, but Dr. Zeeshan completely changed that for me.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Does getting a composite filling hurt?01

No. The area is fully numbed with local anaesthetic before any work begins, so you won't feel pain during your cavity treatment. Most patients feel only mild, short-lived sensitivity afterwards.

How soon can I eat after a composite filling?02

Composite hardens instantly under the curing light, so you can usually eat as soon as the numbness wears off. We suggest waiting until full feeling returns to avoid biting your cheek or lip.

Can old silver amalgam fillings be replaced with white ones?03

Yes. We routinely remove dark amalgam fillings and replace them with tooth-coloured, metal-free restorations for a more natural look and a mercury-free smile.

Will my composite filling stain over time?04

High-quality composite resists staining well, but coffee, tea, and smoking can gradually discolour it. Good brushing and regular polishing at your check-ups keep white fillings looking fresh.

Is dental bonding the same as a composite filling?05

They use the same tooth-coloured material. A dental bonding filling repairs a cavity, while cosmetic bonding reshapes or improves the look of a healthy tooth, both rely on the same resin.

Are composite fillings safe for children?06

Yes. Tooth-coloured fillings are a safe, metal-free option for children and adults alike, and are a popular mercury-free choice for treating cavities in young patients.

How much does a tooth filling cost in Dubai?07

The cost of a teeth filling in Dubai varies with the size of the cavity, the tooth being treated, and how many surfaces need repair. We share the exact price of your composite filling during your consultation, with clear, upfront pricing and no hidden fees.

How do I choose the right dentist for fillings?08

Look for an experienced dentist for fillings who uses high-quality, shade-matched composite and explains your options clearly. Our Dubai team places hundreds of natural, tooth-coloured fillings each year and will match the material precisely to your smile.
