Designer Dental Studio is committed to strengthening your teeth with durable, natural looking restorations. Your smile should be a picture of health. Amalgam fillings spoil that smile and even weaken your tooth structure. If you have any amalgam fillings , you will appreciate just how 'unnatural' they look. Amalgam is 50% mercury and has a silver or black appearance. It bears no resemblance to your natural tooth and is highly visible when you laugh or smile. Unless you are a robot, nobody enjoys having a mouth full of metal.
At Designer Dental Studio we can give you a natural smile with a basic tooth coloured restoration, as we prefer tooth-coloured restorations that blend in naturally. Also, Tooth coloured materials are also more bio-compatible, than metal amalgam fillings, and offer a far more robust finish. We offer two kinds of tooth-coloured restorations at the Designer Dental Studio:
- Composite resin – a medium term restoration that lasts 5 to 7 years
- Ceramic – a long term restoration that often lasts in excess of 20 years
During your consultation, it will be discussed, which option is most suitable to your situation. Many patients now request that we remove their amalgam fillings, and replace them with ceramic tooth-coloured restorations. The changes are so significant to the end result of their smile.
If you would like to know more about replacing your existing amalgam fillings, please contact Designer Dental Studio to book in for a comprehensive examination with - Dr Duval.
