Many of us spend a great deal of time trying to keep our teeth looking white by using specialised toothpaste and techniques to achieve the look we desire. Once we get that pearly white look that we require some of us may examine our teeth just to be disappointed to find there are still dark looking areas within our teeth that are caused by the tooth fillings some of us have.
Tooth filling may be necessary but can often appear unsightly when we look into our mouths, however, this can be resolved. By offering white fillings, Wimbledon, we can help those who are looking to change the look of their dark filling, which means they can finally achieve the look of perfectly white teeth they have been looking for.
The difference
The fillings we all know are made from silver amalgam, this makes them extremely hard-wearing and should mean that any fillings we have will last a lifetime. However, there are cases where the filling may have to be replaced due to further decay and damage caused by poor oral hygiene practices by a patient.
While the silver amalgam filling has been widely used by dentists over hundreds of years, they do not address the issue of wanting white teeth that some of us desire. This is where white fillings, Wimbledon can help, giving the patient that clean white look they desire for their teeth.
Made from a white composite resin these new fillings have one major advantage over the usual amalgam filling, as they maintain a natural look to the teeth once in place. These new fillings have also been proven to be just as strong and hard-wearing as the silver fillings that have been used in dental treatments for a long time. By using high-quality composite filling made by Heraeus Venus and TPH Spectra we can promise our patients a solution that meets their needs that is strong enough to last.
Recommended usage
These fillings are best used in smaller cavities, for larger cavities we suggest that a patient considers inlays or onlays. Made from tooth-coloured porcelain and made to fit the tooth they are applied to, these inlays or onlays are a lot like having a small crown placed onto the tooth.
Inlays and onlays are considered to be durable and can withstand the stresses of use while providing the look of white teeth that any patient is looking for.
Gaining white teeth
We all desire to look our best all the times we venture outside of our homes, as we want to be seen in a positive light by others around us. For some people, the clothes they wear create the image they wish to project, for others it is the make-up they wear and then there are those who believe having the smile they desire projects the image they wish to portray. We would recommend that these are the people who may wish to investigate the advantages of white fillings, Wimbledon.
