White fillings have become the preferred alternative to silver amalgam or gold fillings. At John Street Dental we offer porcelain fillings (also called inlays) and composite fillings.
When people think of cosmetic dentistry they immediately think of teeth whitening. But it’s so much more.
At John Street Dental we use clinically tested and trusted cosmetic dental techniques and the finest materials available to improve your appearance and enhance your confidence.
We can use Composite fillings to replace traditional silver coloured amalgams. We can use porcelain instead of gold bridges. We offer teeth whitening which can be completed in the comfort of your own home. And dental veneers can reshape and create your perfect smile.
A great smile is an invaluable asset. The dentists we work with have the technical expertise and clinical experience to help you.
Our dentists will talk to you about your teeth and gums in non-medical terminology and take the time to listen to what it is you want to achieve. We will then discuss the complete range of cosmetic dental options available that best suits your personal circumstance. We encourage you to ask us questions and tell us any concerns so you are completely comfortable and confident before proceeding.
Cosmetic dentistry brings together dentistry, science and art. It can consist of a single treatment or incorporate a variety of procedures that not only rejuvenates the appearance of your smile but also the greater purpose of perfect long-term oral health.
The latest developments in cosmetic dentistry can change the size, shape and alignment of teeth, fill spaces between teeth, improve or correct your bite and restore decayed, broken, cracked or chipped teeth.
A composite filling is made of a resin material similar in consistency as toothpaste and is applied to the tooth surface in thin layers. It is hardened by a UV light, then shaped and polished, restoring your tooth’s form and function.
Composite fillings are less expensive and can be completed in a single appointment, occasionally without the need for anaesthetic.
Our dentist matches the colour of composites to neighbouring teeth for a more natural appearance, making the filling indistinguishable
Composite resin fillings often are made smaller than amalgam fillings and require less tooth preparation, thereby saving more natural tooth structure.
Composite fillings are used to restore strength and appearance. They are also less sensitive to hot and cold temperature changes in the mouth; therefore there is less chance that the tooth will fracture because of the filling.
Maintaining a thorough at-home oral health routine and scheduling check-up appointments with the John Street Dental team every six months will ensure your new white porcelain or composite fillings last for many years to come.
