With modern diets containing excessive amounts of\nsugar, there is an increased likelihood of patients seeking dental treatment\nfor cavities. Cavities, if not treated at a dental clinic, inevitably leads to\ntooth decay and tooth loss. While sugar is the main culprit in tooth decay,\nthere are other contributory factors. These factors include bacteria entering\nthe tooth structure through chips and fractures in the outer layer of the\ntooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"White<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dental practitioners rely on fillings to save a\ntooth from progressive decay. At Smilecraft\ndental clinic<\/strong> we offer our patients the option of choosing White Fillings in\nStevenage<\/a> to\nprevent cavities from completely destroying teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 Reasons why patients choose White Fillings in Stevenage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patients are already familiar with the silver\nfillings, also referred to as, amalgam fillings. Improvements in dental technologies and materials have\nmade available white fillings as an alternative option.  At our dental clinic we find that more and\nmore patients prefer this option over amalgam fillings. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Aesthetic value<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A top concern of patients having to seek\ntreatment for teeth cavities are cosmetic in nature. A key benefit of composite\nfillings is that the fillings can be matched to the colour of the patient\u2019s\nteeth. This means that these fillings are less noticeable as compared to silver\nfillings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • Lower price tag compared to other\ndental treatments<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      White Fillings in\nStevenage<\/strong> are a more cost effective option for\npatients who need to treat a broken tooth. This treatment method costs less\nthan opting to have porcelain crowns cover shape defects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • Minimal drilling required<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Unlike the standard filling treatment, composite\nfillings require less preparation. As the filling material bonds to the teeth,\ndrilling may only be needed to remove evidence of dental decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • Replacing white fillings are\nrelatively less complicated<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Should it happen that filling needs to be\nreplaced, the method to replacing composite fillings is far easier than\nreplacing an amalgam filling. The area that is damaged can be easily removed\nand replaced. This comparatively less complicated than having to remove the\nentire silver filling before cleaning out the cavity and filling it in again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Carefully consider filling materials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          One of the most frequently asked questions by\nour patients who have to consider filling treatments is \u2013 How to choose the\nbest treatment method for their dental health? We advise patients to consider\nthe choice of materials available to make sure that they choose the most suitable\noption that is in their best interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Composite fillings are made from a composite\nresin material that includes plastics and other materials such as silica and\ndimethylglyoxime. This compound material ensures that the filling is\nsuccessfully secured to the tooth\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The benefits of composite resin material\ninclude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • White fillings are mercury free.<\/li>
          • Composite fillings are more\ndurable and offer increased resistance to breakage.<\/li>
          • Tooth sensitivity is decreased.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
