July 21, 2016Replacing Old Discoloured Fillings: Restore Your Smile at Serenity Dental
Introduction
Over time, dental fillings can become discoloured, leading to an unsightly appearance and potential oral health issues. At Serenity Dental, we specialise in replacing old, discoloured fillings with modern, natural-looking alternatives.
Why Replace Old Fillings?
Old fillings, especially amalgam (silver) ones, can corrode and cause tooth discoloration. Replacing these fillings not only enhances the aesthetics of your smile but also improves overall oral health by preventing further decay and damage.
What is the dental filling procedure?
- Consultation: Our dentist assesses the condition of your existing fillings and discusses the best replacement options.
- Removal: The old filling is carefully removed, ensuring minimal impact on the surrounding tooth structure.
- Tooth Preparation: The cavity is cleaned and prepared for the new filling.
- Placement: A new filling material, typically composite resin, is applied, shaped, and hardened using a special light.
- Polishing: The new filling is polished to match the natural sheen of your teeth.
What were the results?
A rejuvenation of the client’s teeth in this corner of his mouth. He was delighted, as were we.
We enjoyed helping the patient with this common problem with older filling materials, that discolour with time. It was a simple procedure, that is relatively inexpensive and doesn’t take very long either. It leaves a fresh look and a renewed confidence when the patient smiles.
Improved Appearance: Natural-looking fillings blend seamlessly with your teeth.
Enhanced Oral Health: Modern fillings prevent further decay and are more durable.
Boosted Confidence: A brighter, healthier smile can improve your self-esteem.
