People are now looking after their teeth better than ever before. In an age where appearance matters – both socially and professionally – a beautiful natural looking smile is the ideal way to make a great impression.
Every aspect of dental care is now carefully more than ever before by the average person. Toothpaste options are chosen wisely, while toothbrushes are replaced with greaterregularity.
Whitening treatments have never been in greater demand as the importance of having that beautiful smile has taken on a whole new meaning.
More and more people are having their teeth straightened and aligned with simple braces. For so long braces were seen as an option solely for young people, but age is never a barrier in the pursuit of great looking teeth. And why should it be?
An ugly treatment turned pretty:
With so many outstanding options available all geared towards enhancing the overall appearance of a person’s dental structure, it is difficult to fathom why one aspect of dental treatment remained so ugly for quite so long. The amalgam or silver filling.
Increasingly, more and more people are living their lives without ever needing a filling, but some people will need a filling placed in one of their back teeth during their lifetime. However, for decades these fillings have been the antithesis of everything that combines to make a beautiful white smile. Why? Because they have been black or silver in colour.
And whilst most fillings are inserted close to the back of a person’s mouth, these unsightly coloured fillings can become clearly visible when a person laughs or finds some other reason to open their mouth wide. We have all seen these fillings and thought to ourselves, ‘that doesn’t look good at all’.
Nobody who pays a visit to the dentist to get a filling should leave the dentist’s practice with one or a number of their teeth looking black or silver.
White fillings blend in with the colour of your teeth:
Like it or hate it – and we hate it – that’s the way it has been for a number of years. That very concept alone goes against everything that a visit to the dentist is supposed to represent.
However, with the preference for a natural white smile more prominent than ever in the public psyche, silver and black fillings now appear more unsightly than ever before and have been all but been phased out.
Many people who have them are looking into the possibility of getting them replaced. These amalgam fillings have been used since the turn of the last century, largely due to their strength and durability.
If every aspect of your smile is white and stunning, it makes no sense to do yourself a disservice with dated and unsightly looking black or silver fillings.

😴 Can snoring affect your oral health?
In our latest Two Thirty video, Maggie answers a question many people don’t think to ask — can snoring impact your teeth and gums?
The short answer is yes, it can.
Snoring is often linked to breathing through your mouth at night, which can cause a dry mouth. Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth, so when your mouth is dry, you may be more prone to tooth decay and bad breath.
If you snore and have noticed dryness, increased decay or concerns about your breath, it’s worth mentioning at your next appointment.
Our reception team at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead will be happy to arrange a consultation if you’d like advice.
⏰ Smile hack: When you brush matters
Did you know it’s not just how long you brush — but when you brush — that makes a difference? Maggie shares an important smile hack about timing your toothbrushing properly.
Brushing straight after eating — especially after acidic foods or drinks like fruit, juice or coffee — can actually do more harm than good. Your enamel is slightly softened, and brushing immediately can cause wear.
Maggie explains the best time to brush and why waiting can help protect your teeth long term.
It’s a small change that can make a big difference to your oral health.
