Tooth-coloured fillings in Muscat
When decay makes a hole in a tooth, we clean out the decay and fill the tooth with tooth-coloured composite, matched to the shade of your own teeth.
When you might need one
A tooth may need a filling if it has a hole you can feel with your tongue, food keeps getting stuck in one place, or the tooth is sensitive to sweet, hot or cold. Small holes found early are quicker to fix than large ones.
What happens at the clinic
The tooth is numbed, the decay is cleaned out, and the dentist builds the tooth back up with composite in layers. Each layer is hardened with a light. Finally the filling is shaped and polished so your bite feels normal.
The same material is used to repair chipped or broken front teeth.
After the filling
You can eat once the numbness wears off. If your bite feels high or uneven after a day or two, come back and the dentist will adjust it.

Will people see the filling?
The composite is matched to the shade of your teeth, so it blends in with the rest of the tooth.
Can you replace an old silver filling?
Yes. Ask the dentist at your visit and she will check whether the old filling should be replaced.
