Have you ever thought about replacing your\namalgam fillings with white fillings? Getting white fillings is on many\npeople\u2019s dental \u2018to do\u2019 list for a few good reasons. Here at Smilecraft<\/strong>, we love seeing the change\nin how teeth look once all that grey has been removed and replaced with\nsomething that blends in with the teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many patients are increasingly concerned with having a smile that looks\ngreat, and so having white fillings becomes a natural part of that. You can either have white fillings put in when you have a new\ncavity, or you can get old amalgam fillings replaced. The dentist in Stevenage<\/a> can\nreplace them individually as old fillings begin to fail, or as a job lot in a\ncouple of appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One problem with amalgam fillings is that,\nalthough we pack the cavity tightly, there is no seal around the edge of it.\nThis means that there is always the chance that decay-causing bacteria can get\nin underneath the filling and cause more decay. White fillings, on the other\nhand, are bonded to the tooth, so there is no chance of bacteria getting in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strength<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amalgam fillings require more healthy tooth\nmaterial to be removed. This can put stresses on the tooth and cause it to\ncrack. The dentist in Stevenage <\/strong>does not need to remove\nso much healthy tooth material when white fillings are used, so the sides of\nthe tooth are stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chewing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another big plus with white fillings from\nthe dentist in Stevenage<\/strong> is that we can give you\nback your chewing surfaces. White fillings are built up in layers, with each\nlayer being cured with a UV light before the next one is put in. When the final\nlayer is in and hardened, we can sculpt the surface of the filling to recreate\nthe mounds and valleys of the chewing surface. This makes the filling more\nrealistic and gives you back full chewing ability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, white fillings are not available on the NHS. The price for a filling depends on its size and starts at \u00a3109. However, we do offer payment plans which offer an affordable way to pay for your treatments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
