It's pretty hard to avoid having at least a few fillings at some point in your life. If you're concerned about your appearance and how your teeth look when you smile or laugh, then the last thing you want is a glint of silvery metal showing! Thankfully, modern technology has made fillings that are functional and natural looking a reality.
Not all fillings require local anaesthetic but if it is necessary, we will inject into the gum around the tooth and then thoroughly clean the tooth surface so that the new composite filling will bond securely and easily. We then choose the correct shade of composite filler material to blend in with the natural colour of your teeth. A special gel is then used to cover the surface to which the composite filling is applied, after which a light source activates hardening and setting. The material may be built up in several layers in order to get the ideal shape and texture. Finally, the filling is polished and buffed to achieve a smooth finish.
Many "white" fillings are only available privately and the cost varies according to the type required and the length of time it takes to complete the work. At The Dental Studio Colchester, we will always fully discuss the cost of your treatment with you beforehand. Modern materials mean that the lifetime of your "white" fillings should compare favourably with the amalgam type but as with any filling, it will depend on the location and the force of your bite. We will always advise you on what to expect.
Some people ask to have existing amalgam fillings replaced with tooth-coloured material but we usually recommend doing this only when replacement becomes necessary anyway, or in rare cases where a proven sensitivity to amalgam develops.

"Hello! My name is Nicholas and I recently underwent a teeth whitening treatment on offer at The Dental Studio.
The treatment began with an initial assessment to take impressions of my teeth. The impressions were then used to create snuggly fitting trays. A week after the assessment, I returned to The Dental Studio to have my trays fitted. I also received detailed instruction on how to apply the bleaching agent to the trays.
Two weeks later I returned for a follow-up appointment to check that all was going well.
The end result is much whiter and more youthful looking teeth. My confidence has been boosted and I am now happy to smile and show my teeth again.
The Dental Studio provided a very warm, friendly and professional service during my treatment. I felt well informed and thoroughly satisfied throughout.
If you are considering having your teeth whitened, I cannot recommend The Dental Studio highly enough!"
