Premium Dental Fillings: Direct Composite vs Ceramic Inlays

When it comes to restoring damaged teeth, patients in Dubai have access to premium filling options that go beyond traditional amalgam.

Direct Composite Fillings

Direct composites are tooth-colored restorations placed in a single appointment. They bond directly to the tooth structure and are ideal for small to medium cavities.

Advantages:

Completed in one visit
Preserves more tooth structure
Excellent aesthetics
Lower cost than indirect restorations

Indirect Ceramic Fillings (Inlays/Onlays)

Ceramic inlays and onlays are custom-made in a dental laboratory and offer superior strength and longevity for larger restorations.

Advantages:

Superior strength and durability
Excellent color stability
Precise fit with minimal shrinkage
Ideal for large cavities

Which Option is Right for You?

The choice between direct composite and ceramic inlays depends on the size of the cavity, location of the tooth, and your aesthetic goals. During your consultation at our Dubai clinic, we'll help you choose the best option for your specific needs.
