The key to having a healthy smile is to avoid letting small problems become large problems. Early treatment is optimal to avoid further damage, discomfort and even more extensive treatment procedures. Restore the strength, function and appearance of teeth with high quality composite filling at Azura Dental Muscat, Oman.

Unlike metal fillings, composite fillings are constructed of a strong plastic resin and small glass or quartz grains. The tooth-coloured materials are precisely selected for the colour of human teeth, and are suitable for the restoration of cavities in front and back teeth. If you’ve had a cavity just diagnosed or you are tired of your metal fillings, our skilled dental team offers comfortable treatments that last a long time and can be customized for your needs.

What Are Composite Fillings?

Composite fillings are a more contemporary filling that is employed to mend a tooth that has experienced decay, minor fracture or wear. They attach directly to the tooth structure and help to retain more natural tooth than traditional filling materials. They also closely resemble your teeth’s colour and are almost invisible, which means you will have a healthier and more beautiful smile.

At Azura Dental, Muscat, Oman, we employ cutting-edge composite material with a combination of strength, beauty and natural look, that can withstand the normal chewing force.

How Is the Composite Filling Procedure Performed?

The procedure is easy, comfortable and generally finalized all in one visit.

1. Numbing

 You will be given local anaesthetic to make you comfortable during the procedure.

2. Cleaning

 The damaged part of a tooth is gently removed, with as much healthy tooth structure as possible being saved.

3. Application

 The tooth coloured composite resin is layered and sculpted to fit the tooth’s natural shape.

4. Curing

 Each layer of the composite is hardened into the bite of a special blue curing light, to form a sturdy, lasting restoration.

5. Polishing

 Lastly, the filling is smoothed for a natural and comfortable look, matching your adjacent teeth.

This leaves the tooth restored with a natural appearance, feel and function.

What is the composite filling cost?

The price of the composite filling will depend on the size of the cavity, on the number of the surfaces to be filled and on the complexity of the treatment. Once a dental examination is completed at Azura Dental in Muscat, Oman, transparency and individual treatment plans are given.

Are composite fillings permanent and how long will they last?

Composite fillings are long-lasting and durable. They are not permanent. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups help a composite filling can last for 5 to 10 years. With proper oral care and routine dental visits a composite filling will last longer than 10 years in most cases and longer than 5 years in some instances. Chewing, grinding, wearing, etc. can cause the filling to chip or stain or loosen over time, and may need repair or replacement. Brushing and flossing , not biting hard objects and regular exams with your dentist are just a few ways to help your filling last longer. Your dentist will check up on it during regular check-ups.
