Dental Fillings in Amman

A filling restores limited decay or a chip after damaged tissue is removed. Cosmetic dental fillings that match tooth colour are common in visible areas. Laser technology may be used in some filling plans when the tissue and case allow it; it is not required for every filling. The material is chosen according to the tooth, cavity size, and bite. More detail is in laser-assisted cosmetic dental fillings, and on the cosmetic dentistry page when appearance is the main concern.

When is a filling suggested?

  • Decay that has reached dentine or threatens enamel
  • An older filling that is fractured or leaking
  • A chipped tooth corner that does not yet need a crown
  • Sensitivity linked to a defect found on examination

How a filling is placed

  1. 01The lesion is identified clinically and with an X-ray if needed.
  2. 02Anaesthesia when required, then removal of decay.
  3. 03Placement of the filling and shaping of the bite.
  4. 04Checking contact points and polishing the surface.

After a filling

Cold sensitivity can last a few days. If the bite feels high or pain on pressure continues, the occlusion should be adjusted. Cleaning around the filling helps prevent new decay at the edges.

Clinical cases

  • Upper front teeth before and after: dark staining near the gums above, and cleaner, lighter tooth surfaces below
  • Upper front teeth before and after: decay and staining near the gums above, and tooth-coloured restorations below

Medical note

Deep decay can approach the pulp. A root canal may become necessary during or after treatment. No filling can be guaranteed for life.

Frequently asked questions

Is a white filling always better?

Tooth-coloured fillings suit many visible areas. In some large cavities or high-load areas, other options may be discussed. The better choice matches cavity size and your bite.

Why can a tooth hurt after a filling?

Mild dentine inflammation is common. If pain persists or night pain appears, the pulp may be inflamed and needs a new assessment.

Is a laser required for cosmetic dental fillings?

No. A laser may be used in some cosmetic filling plans when the tissue and case allow it. Many cosmetic fillings are completed without it. The choice follows examination.
