Tooth-Coloured Fillings in Jeddah
Tooth-coloured fillings that treat decay and give the tooth back its natural shape.
What are composite fillings?
Do you have early decay or a chipped tooth? Are old metal fillings showing when you smile?
Tooth-coloured composite fillings have become one of the most common treatments in modern dentistry, because they treat decay and repair fractures while keeping teeth looking natural. At Pearl Beads Dental Clinic in Jeddah we place composite fillings using current materials matched to the colour of your natural teeth, so the result looks right and works properly at the same time.
Composite, or tooth-coloured, fillings are made from resin materials in the shade of natural teeth. They are used to treat decay, repair chips and cracks, and improve the shape of damaged teeth. Because they blend with the natural tooth colour, they work equally well on front and back teeth.
When do you need a composite filling?
- Early or moderate tooth decay
- A small chip or crack in a tooth
- Worn tooth surfaces
- Small gaps between teeth
- Old metal fillings you would like replaced
- A front tooth whose shape has changed
Why patients choose composite
- Matched precisely to the colour of your natural teeth
- An immediate improvement in how your smile looks
- Preserves as much of the natural tooth structure as possible
- Suitable for both front and back teeth
- Usually completed in a single visit
- No visible metal
- A natural look that sits well with the teeth around it
How much do composite fillings cost in Jeddah?
The cost varies with the size of the filling, the position of the tooth, how far the decay has gone, and how many surfaces need treating. After the clinical examination your dentist will confirm the right type of filling, the treatment plan and the expected cost before anything begins.
How the appointment works
- Examination and diagnosis — assessing the tooth and the extent of the decay or damage, with X-rays where needed.
- Removing the decay — cleaning the tooth and removing the damaged parts precisely.
- Choosing the shade — matching the filling to the neighbouring natural teeth.
- Placing the filling — applying the composite in layers and shaping it carefully.
- Curing and polishing — setting the filling with a curing light, then polishing it for a natural look and a comfortable feel.
Does it hurt?
In most cases the procedure is very straightforward, with local anaesthetic used where needed. Most patients feel no pain during treatment and go back to their normal day straight afterwards.
How long do composite fillings last?
That depends on the size and position of the filling and how you care for your teeth. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, composite fillings can last for many years while keeping their shape and function.
When should an old filling be replaced?
- It has fractured or worn down
- New decay has appeared around it
- Its colour has changed noticeably
- It is no longer sealing properly
- It is causing sensitivity or ongoing pain

Frequently asked questions
These are real questions our patients ask — and our answers.
Are composite fillings better than metal ones?
In many cases, yes — they look natural and blend with the colour of your teeth.
Will the filling show when I smile?
No. The shade is matched carefully to your natural teeth, which makes the filling very hard to spot.
How long does the appointment take?
A filling can usually be completed in a single visit, depending on the size of the case.
Can old metal fillings be replaced?
Yes. Many metal fillings can be replaced with composite after your dentist has assessed them.
Are composite fillings suitable for back teeth?
Yes. Thanks to the modern materials, they are now used widely on both back and front teeth.
What happens if decay is not treated early?
Decay can reach the deeper layers of the tooth and then need root canal treatment or a crown to protect the tooth.
