Also known as composite fillings, our cosmetic tooth-coloured fillings are usually made from a combination of glass and plastic.
Usually around seven years, though as with all teeth restorations, good oral hygiene will increase the longevity of your filling.
No. A numbing gel is applied to prepare the site for injection of a local anaesthetic. You shouldn’t feel any discomfort during the procedure. Book your white filling appointment at your local Sidcup Smile Sensations dentist today.
A crown is a prosthetic fitting that caps an existing tooth. Made from resin or ceramic, it can be colour-matched and shaped to fit your tooth perfectly – this is achieved using dental impressions. A crown is engineered in an external lab by a dental technician.
Having a crown fitted usually requires two trips to Smile Sensations. Firstly, the dentist will prepare your existing tooth by filing it down to a conical shape onto which the crown can be easily fitted. Next you will have dental impressions taken, which will be sent to the lab for creating your crown. When this is ready, you’ll return for a final fitting, during which the crown will be cemented in place using a special curing light.
Crowns usually survive for at least 10 years – but it could be twice that if you follow a robust oral hygiene routine. Check out our hygiene page for guidance on the importance of oral hygiene!
A dental bridge is essentially a prosthetic tooth, or teeth, attached at each end by a crown. The crowns are used to anchor the bridge, which provides an excellent cosmetic solution to missing teeth.
Fitting a bridge involves the same procedure as that of a crown. Dental impressions are used to engineer a bespoke fitting, and teeth are prepared in the same way by your dentist to accept the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
