People want to look their best and having a bright smile is a big part of their appearance. Many people turn to teeth whitening treatments to whiten their teeth up to 10 shades. While chemicals can take the stains out of tooth enamel, they do nothing to white metal dental fillings. This is a problem for older people who only had the choice of dark silver fillings. No matter how well they take care of their teeth, the teeth always have a gray cast. Dental fillings in teeth near the front of the mouth create the biggest problem. Cosmetic Dentists in Phoenix can replace silver dental fillings with composite fillings that match their tooth enamel.
Not only does this make the teeth instantly whiter, it makes the tooth stronger. Metal dental fillings sat inside the tooth but did not bond with the enamel. As a result, small amounts of bacteria were able to seep down between the tooth and filling. Eventually, another cavity would form and the dental filling would need to be replaced. To make matters worse, the metal filling would expand and eventually make the tooth crack. Composite fillings actually make the tooth stronger because they bond with the tooth enamel. This ensures that there is no gap. You can visit here to get more information.
Cosmetic Dentists in Phoenix will usually whiten the teeth and then replace the metal dental filling. This ensures that the dentist is matching the composite filling to the brightest shade of white. Some teeth are so weak that it’s not possible to replace the dental filling without breaking the tooth. If it’s an important tooth that is very visible when the person speaks or smiles, the dentist can cover it with a porcelain crown. Porcelain reflects light in the same manner as natural tooth enamel. Therefore, a porcelain dental crown is very realistic. A dental technician can match the porcelain to the adjacent teeth.
