If an amalgam filling needs replacing, what happens next?

There isn`t one material that`s right for every tooth.

Depending on the tooth, the size of the existing filling and how much healthy tooth remains, your dentist may discuss options such as a tooth-coloured filling or a ceramic restoration.

The decision is about protecting the tooth and choosing a suitable restoration, not simply changing the colour of the filling.

In this video, we explain some of the options and why we look at the whole tooth before recommending treatment.

And a reminder: sound amalgam fillings don`t automatically need removing.

Our SMART amalgam removal Knowledge Hub explains the process and the questions worth considering.

There isn`t a single definition of a beautiful smile.

For some people it`s about one tooth that`s always bothered them. For others, it`s about feeling more comfortable smiling in photographs or talking without thinking about their teeth.

Whatever brings someone to Evolve, we begin by listening.

Here`s another patient result we`re pleased to be able to share.

It`s a reminder that thoughtful planning is personal, and that two smiles should never be treated as though they`re the same. 💚

Results vary, and any treatment should follow an individual assessment.

A tooth can look perfectly fine, then one day you notice a little line, a rough edge or discomfort when you bite.

So why do teeth crack?

There isn`t one single answer. Wear over time, an accidental knock, biting something hard or pressure from clenching can all play a part.

Yasmin explains some of the reasons cracks can develop and why not every crack needs the same treatment.

If you`ve noticed a change in a tooth, particularly pain when biting or sensitivity that keeps returning, it`s worth having it checked.

Understanding what`s happening is always a better starting point than guessing.

A before-and-after can catch your eye in a second.

But a smile transformation starts long before the final photograph.

It starts with listening to what someone would like to change, understanding what matters to them and exploring the options that might be suitable.

Sometimes the changes are subtle. Sometimes they`re more noticeable. The important thing is that the plan belongs to the patient, not to a particular trend.

Here`s another transformation we`ve had the pleasure of sharing at Evolve. 💚

Every smile is different, and results will vary depending on the individual and their treatment.
