Top 5 Dental Fillings Specialists in Amman 2026

When do you need a dental filling?

A filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay (caries), a small crack, a chipped edge or wear. The dentist removes the decayed or weakened tissue, shapes the cavity and seals it with a restorative material.

Common materials include:

• Tooth-coloured composite resin, often called a cosmetic or light-cured filling.
• Glass ionomer, often used near the gumline or in children's teeth.
• Amalgam, a long-lasting metal filling whose use is being phased down worldwide. Many guidelines advise avoiding it for young children and during pregnancy where a suitable alternative exists.

The right option depends on the size and position of the cavity, your bite and your medical history. Only an examination can decide this.

Very early decay that has not formed a cavity can sometimes be managed with fluoride, better brushing and monitoring. Deep decay that reaches the nerve may need root canal treatment before the tooth is restored. A tooth with a large missing portion may need a crown rather than a filling.

Book a dental visit if you notice any of the following:

• Sensitivity to cold, heat or sweet food that keeps coming back
• Pain when biting or chewing
• A visible hole, dark spot or rough edge on a tooth
• Food repeatedly trapping between the same teeth
• An old filling that feels loose, cracked or has fallen out
• Bleeding gums when brushing
• No check-up for six months or more

Some symptoms need urgent care the same day. Call 911 or go to a hospital emergency department if you have any of these:

• Facial or neck swelling that is spreading
• Difficulty swallowing or breathing
• A high temperature with tooth pain
• Swelling that closes your eye
• Heavy bleeding after an injury
• A blow to the face or jaw

In Amman, hospital emergency departments include Jordan University Hospital, Al-Bashir Hospital and King Hussein Medical Center.

How to choose among the dentists here

The order on this page reflects how complete each profile is. It does not reflect who will treat you best. Use criteria that fit your own situation.

• Match the published services to your need. Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan lists cosmetic white fillings and tooth sensitivity treatment. Dr. Sufyan Orabi and Dr. Samar Talafha both list dental fillings among their areas of focus. The two Zoom Dental Clinic profiles lean towards root canal treatment, prevention and surgical work. If you book there, say clearly that you need a filling.
• Think one step ahead. A large cavity can turn into a root canal or crown case. Dr. Orabi's profile pairs fillings with crowns and bridges. Several profiles list root canal treatment.
• Check hours against your routine. Arafat Dental Clinics is confirmed open until 22:00 from Saturday to Thursday. Zoom Dental Clinic closes at 19:00, or 17:00 on Thursday. Samar Dental Clinic closes at 17:00.
• Consider distance. Three dentists share an address in Tabarbour. The other two are in Khalda and Sweifieh. A filling sometimes needs a follow-up visit, so a clinic close to home or work helps.
• Language. Arabic and English are listed for the first three dentists. The two Zoom Dental Clinic profiles also list Ukrainian.
• Children. Paediatric dentistry appears among the areas of focus for several dentists here. Confirm that the dentist sees children of your child's age before booking.
• Profile status. The comparison table shows which profiles are verified by the platform. You can see published reviews where they exist.

What to expect at the first visit

A filling appointment usually starts with a short medical history and an examination of your teeth and gums. The dentist may take small X-rays to see decay between teeth or under old fillings.

The dentist should explain the following before starting:

• Which teeth need treatment
• The material options and why one is suggested
• Whether the work can be done that day

Most fillings are placed under local anaesthetic. Your lip and cheek may stay numb for a few hours, so take care not to bite them or chew on that side until feeling returns.

Mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards is common. Pain that worsens, a bite that feels too high, or swelling should be checked by the dentist.

What to bring:

• Your ID and insurance card, if you have one
• A list of medicines you take, especially blood thinners
• Any allergies, including to anaesthetics or latex
• Previous dental X-rays or treatment notes, if you have them
• Information on pregnancy, heart conditions or diabetes

Useful questions to ask:

• How deep is the decay, and is a filling enough?
• Which material do you recommend for this tooth, and how long should it last?
• Will I need a follow-up visit?
• What can I do to prevent new cavities?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Only one profile here publishes a consultation fee: Dr. Mohammad Arafat Hasan lists the consultation as free. For the others, ask the clinic directly. Even where a consultation is free, the filling itself, X-rays and any extra treatment are usually priced separately. Ask for the cost before treatment begins.

Prices for fillings often vary with the number of tooth surfaces involved and the material used. Ask whether the clinic prices per tooth or per surface.

Insurers are listed on two profiles. Dr. Yola Kovalenko lists Arab Orient Insurance. Dr. Mutasem Irdaisat lists Arab Orient Insurance, NatHealth and Med Service — The Specialized Company.

If you are insured, ask these questions:

• Is my specific plan accepted?
• Does dental cover include fillings, and are cosmetic tooth-coloured fillings treated differently?
• Is prior approval needed?
• Is there a co-payment or annual ceiling?

When booking, say what you need, for example 'a filling for a sensitive back tooth'. Mention any pain so the clinic can allow enough time or offer an earlier slot.

Getting there

Amman is a large city of around 5 million residents. Travel time at peak hours can be longer than the distance suggests, so plan ahead.

• Tabarbour: Arafat Dental Clinics and Zoom Dental Clinic both list addresses in Tabarbour in their profiles.
• Khalda: Dr. Aseel Hamdan Dental Clinic, where Dr. Sufyan Orabi is affiliated, is in Khalda. It may be convenient if you live or work around Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali or Dabouq.
• Sweifieh: Samar Dental Clinic is in Sweifieh, which may suit people around Abdoun and the 7th Circle.

Use the map location on each profile where available. Confirm the exact building and floor when you book.

For a dental emergency outside clinic hours, go to a hospital emergency department or call 911.
