Say Bon Voyage to Old Fillings!

If you’re fed up of spotting unsightly metal fillings when you pose for photos, you have old fillings or you’re eager to find an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fillings, allow us to strengthen your teeth and transform the appearance of your smile using beautifully prepared tooth-coloured fillings. Our fillings produce a natural look, so you can smile away without any worries at all. In addition to white fillings, we are also able to offer custom-made porcelain inlays and onlays.

About white fillings

White fillings are made from dental composite and resins and they strengthen and protect decayed teeth without any negative impact on the aesthetic of the tooth. Modern materials are strong and durable, so you can enjoy both substance and style. We are able to use white fillings in most cases and we can replace old fillings, as well as fitting new ones. If you’ve had a filling for several years or you simply want to replace visible metal fillings with tooth-coloured fillings, we can help.

What happens when you have a filling?

If you are having an old filling replaced, the filling will be removed and disposed of before the new filling is placed; the tooth will be cleaned thoroughly and bonding agent will be applied to the surface of the cavity. Once the cavity is completely clear and clean, the composite will be inserted and shaped to fit the hole; it will then be hardened using a curing light. The procedure to place a filling is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel a thing! It usually takes just one hour and you’ll be free to go home afterwards. Fillings don’t last forever but they should last up to 5 years provided that you care for your teeth well.

The benefits of white fillings

White fillings blend in with the natural tooth shade and it’s impossible to detect them when you smile. With white fillings, the teeth look much healthier and more attractive than with metal fillings. We choose the closest shade of dental composite to the natural tooth to ensure a seamless finish. In addition to providing natural looking aesthetics, white fillings are also strong and durable and they are considered much safer than mercury amalgam fillings. We are able to replace mercury amalgam fillings, as well as placing new white fillings.

The procedure

When you have a filling, the procedure usually takes around one hour. Before treatment begins, we will use local anaesthetic to numb the tooth so you don’t feel any pain. When your tooth is numb, your dentist will drill into the tooth to remove decayed tissue from the cavity. The cavity is then cleaned to ensure that is free from harmful decay and reduce the risk of infection spreading through the tooth. Once the cavity is completely clear, we will place the dental composite inside and shape it to fit the hole. The dental composite is soft and malleable at this stage, so we can mould it very easily. Once the cavity has been filled, a curing light is used to set the composite and make it firm. To finish off, your dentist will trim the composite to ensure it fits perfectly and looks great. If you’d like to replace an old mercury filling or you’re interested in tooth-coloured fillings, call us and book your appointment now!

All about tooth-coloured fillings

Tooth coloured fillings, also known as white fillings, are a mercury-free alternative to amalgam fillings. We place new fillings and we also offer a replacement service for existing metal fillings. Our white fillings are designed to match the shade of your tooth to ensure that you cannot tell the difference between the filing and the rest of the tooth. They are made from composite and resins, which are safer and more environmentally friendly than metal amalgam fillings. We may recommend that you have a filling if you have a decayed tooth and a cavity has formed in the tooth surface. Fillings strengthen the tooth, improve the function of the tooth and prevent pain and sensitivity. They also help to prevent the infection from spreading to other parts of the tooth.

The filling procedure

Before your tooth is filled, we will numb it using local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain at all. The procedure is fairly straightforward and involves two key stages. Firstly, the cavity is cleaned and any decayed tissue is removed. Once the cavity is clear, bonding agent is applied to the surface of the tooth to facilitate adhesion. The second stage involves placing the filling. The dental composite is placed inside the cavity and then shaped to fit the hole. Once the cavity has been filled, the composite is set hard using a curing light. Once the composite has hardened, your Clifton Dental Studio dentist will make any final adjustments and trim the filling to ensure that the cavity is filled perfectly. If you have mercury amalgam fillings and you would like to replace them or you think you have a cavity, call us today and arrange an appointment.
