What is a tooth coloured filling?
Composite fillings, also known as tooth coloured fillings are customized to match your enamel so that it blends in with your natural tooth material. Tooth coloured fillings look like your natural tooth and do not contain any mercury.
What are the benefits of a natural coloured filling?
There are many benefits of having natural coloured fillings, the biggest being that it can improve your confidence by getting rid of the dark fillings in your mouth.
How long do white fillings last?
White fillings are very durable when placed correctly and appropriately, and can last 10 to 12 years before needing to be replaced.
Can natural coloured fillings be whitened?
When whitening, only natural tooth material will change colour. Therefore, if you are planning to whitening your teeth it’s recommended that you do this ahead of having any fillings replaced with white ones, particularly fillings that are visible in your smile line. In order to have tooth whitening, you must be dentally fit and remember, on dental care professionals can offer tooth whitening on the prescription of a dentist.

🪥 Smile hack: timing your tooth brushing
Did you know that brushing your teeth straight after eating isn’t always the best idea?
In this quick video, Maggie explains why it’s better to wait a little while before brushing. After eating, especially acidic foods and drinks, the enamel on your teeth can be temporarily softened. Brushing too soon can actually cause more wear.
Waiting around 30 minutes gives your saliva time to neutralise the acids and protect your teeth.
Watch Maggie’s smile hack to learn the simple change that can help keep your teeth healthier.

What exactly is a dental crown?
In this video, Carol explains how crowns help restore and protect teeth that have been weakened by cracks, root canal treatment or large fillings.
A crown acts like a protective cap, binding the tooth together and giving it the strength it needs for everyday biting and chewing.
Watch the video to learn when a crown may be recommended and how it helps protect your smile.

Did you know that chewing sugar free gum after eating can actually help protect your teeth? 🍬➡️🦷
In this video, Carol explains why dentists often recommend sugar free gum after meals. Chewing gum stimulates saliva, which helps wash away food particles and neutralise acids that can lead to tooth decay.
It’s not a replacement for brushing, but it can be a helpful extra habit when you’re out and about and can’t brush your teeth straight away.
