What are Gold Fillings?
Dating back to the 19th century or even earlier, gold and its alloys have been used for restorative purposes from ancient days. Gold has been used in dentistry by the Egyptians since the 19th century as gold wires and for filling cavities. Various forms in which gold can be used in dentistry are direct filling gold restorations, inlays, onlays, and gold crowns.
Known as the noble metal, gold does not corrode and is extremely durable and biocompatible. It has excellent marginal integrity and has proven to be one of the longest-lasting tooth fillings in Dubai. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the considerable benefits this metal can offer when compared to other materials used for dental restorations.
From routine check-ups to specialised treatments. Visit Dr. Paul’s Dental Clinic in Dubai for a positive and stress-free dental experience.
Gold Restorations – Long Lasting Fillings
At Dr Paul’s Dental Clinic, Dubai, our Specialist Endodontist in Dubai and Restorative Dentist, Dr. Binoy Paul, advocates the use of gold fillings. Combining the advantages of gold fillings with in-depth knowledge and clinical expertise, you can be assured of optimal results.
A dentist needs specialized training and experience to do gold fillings. Experienced dentists advise gold fillings in Dubai for restoring back teeth where strength is vital. Cast gold fillings are done with 18 karat gold and are one of the strongest restorations in dentistry today. Gold foil restorations are done with 24 karat gold.
Gold filling fabrication requires a significant amount of time, skill, and labour unlike CAD/CAM techniques used for crown and bridge fabrication in the modern era. This has also been a reason for the dying popularity of gold fillings. Lack of experience in the field has also led young dentists to opt out of placing gold fillings.
Gold fillings can last a lifetime if one maintains good oral hygiene and takes the right care of the gold fillings.
