Sawtry Dental Practice
Restore The Beauty Of Your Smile
At Sawtry Dental we offer white fillings to restore the beauty of your smile.
These composite fillings are often favoured for aesthetic reasons and will be carefully colour matched to your surrounding teeth to maintain a natural appearance. White fillings are constantly being improved and enhanced, and are made from materials that are predictable and less prone to shrinkage than other fillings.
White fillings are mercury-free and can be used to fill dental cavities and safely replace old amalgam (metal) fillings for you. They are also suitable for the restoration of teeth that have been worn or chipped away.
Another advantage of composite fillings is that the material forms a micro mechanical bond with the tooth surface and requires very little tooth preparation. At Sawtry Dental, we are renowned for the high quality of our white fillings and the special skill with which the composite is integrated with the tooth, making it indistinguishable from its natural surroundings.

What Is The Procedure For Getting A Dental Fillings?
In the event of decay or damage, your dentist will make the determination about which filling material to use. A local anesthetic is administered to numb the area. The dentist will use a drill or laser to remove the decay, probing the region with metal instruments to ensure that all of the decay has be
en removed. The cavity will be cleaned of bacteria and debris with an air/water unit. If the decay is deep and near the root, your dentist may line the area with filling materials first to protect the nerve. After the filling is put in place, the process is finalized with a polish.
Since there are different materials used for fillings, the procedure may vary. If tooth- colored material is used, the filling is applied in layers and then hardened with a special curing light. The material will then be shaped, trimmed and polished.

Benefits Of White Fillings
Improves The Asthetic
As composite comes in a wide range of shades, it allows the dentist to select the shade of composite that matches the colour of your natural teeth. So, your fillings will be virtually invisible.
Need Only Less Preparation Of Teeth
White fillings are conservative dental procedures. Unlike many other materials, composite has a special property of chemical adherence to the natural tooth substance. Thus, composite only needs less preparation of tooth substance for the retention of the filling.
Enhances Self-Confidence
No one will notice that you have any artificial dental work inside your mouth. So they will not harm your self-esteem or confidence in social encounters.
Immediate Results
Composite bonding and white fillings don’t need any post-treatment preparations. Therefore, you can go to an event straight after the dental appointment.

White Fillings Or Traditional Amalgam?
The most widely used type of filling is amalgam. This is the one that most of you will probably know best and certainly for those long out of their youth. Amalgam has been a successful way of filling a tooth due to its strength and longevity, but it certainly isn’t without its drawbacks.
