EMERGENCY TOOTH FILLINGS LONDON

White fillings are tooth coloured resins made of dental filling material. They are very popular these days and can repair chipped or broken tooth. At Emergency Dentist London, the dentist prepares a filling from this substance which looks natural and matches with your tooth colour. The emergency dentist will also allow for restoration to a minimum which means saving a natural tooth.

White fillings are used in the back and in the front of the mouth and as well as providing a look that is natural, they will also support the strength and the function of a damaged tooth. Our dentists might also choose to build cracked or chipped teeth up using white fillings. They can also be used to reshape uneven teeth or to close the gap between teeth as well as filling cavities that have arisen due to tooth decay.

Benefit of Emergency White Filling Repair in London

• A white filling will look a lot more natural than an amalgam or metallic filling. An amalgam filling might go black over a period of time and will be very visible in your mouth while white fillings are matched to your tooth colour and give a completely natural look.
• There is no mercury in white fillings unlike in fillings that are made of metal. Some people believe that the mercury that is contained within amalgam fillings poses a risk to good health.
• A white filling will strengthen your tooth. Layers of silicon dioxide can also be filled with glass as an extra stabilisation.
• Where Silicon dioxide is used, it will not conduct cold and hot temperatures in the same way as a metallic filling would and you will not suffer from any tooth sensitivity after you have had a white filling.
• the white filling will harden very fast usually within a matter of just a few hours.

The process of applying White Dental fillings

• The tooth will be prepared – this kind of filling can be used where teeth are decayed and will usually require only one appointment to be applied. To begin the process your dentist will remove any decay and the cavity that has being formed will then be filled with a white or other type of filling.
• Bonding will be applied – if your tooth is an irregular shape then it will be possible to bond a composite filling onto the tooth to give it's the shape that is required.
• Dental composite will be applied – With a chipped or broken filling, then the dentist can use composite fillings for tooth repair, restoring the correct shape so that it will be functional and cosmetically appealing.
• Restoration – Where there are gaps between teeth, the gaps can be closed with a composite filling. Where decay is close to the nerve of the tooth, then protective medication will be given.
• Shaping – The filling will be moulded to a veneer shape. Composite fillings will be put in place, polished and then shaped, so that the tooth will be restored to its original shape and function. An inexpensive and quick option as opposed to a smile makeover or a porcelain veneer.

When would I need a filling?

A filling will be used to fill in on the outer part of a tooth. It is very important for any cavities to be filled so that a bacterial infection does not set in and then spread to other parts of the tooth. Once the enamel of a tooth is weakened the risk of tooth decay is far higher and the filling will help to keep a tooth healthy.
