Composite (Nearly Invisible) Fillings

Hate the look of those silver fillings? Dr. Bevans offers composite fillings, also known as a white filling. It's is a tooth-colored filling, and it's likely that only your dentist will know you have one. Dr. Bevans has more than 15 years of placing white composite fillings. Here is a list of benefits to composite fillings:

• They are stronger because they bond directly to the surface of the tooth.
• They protect the tooth from fracturing because they don’t require the severe “undercut” (removal of healthy structure) that silver/mercury fillings require.
• They can save a lot of expense in the long run. Silver/mercury fillings weaken the teeth, making them more susceptible to breaking, and broken teeth are very expensive to restore. Composite fillings don't have this problem.
• Composite fillings restore the natural appearance of the tooth.
• Teeth restored with white fillings are less sensitive to hot and cold than teeth restored with silver/mercury fillings.
• Composites are mercury-free. Silver/mercury fillings are viewed by many as being toxic. Composite fillings are environmentally non-toxic because they use no mercury. Dr. Bevans is committed to environmentally green practices.
• Composites require less removal of tooth structure. Especially new cavities, the size of the hole made for the filling can be dramatically smaller with composites.

Bridges

A bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. The restoration can even be made from porcelain to look nearly invisible! Unlike a removable bridge, which you can take out and clean, fixed bridges can only be removed by a dentist.

Crowns

A crown can cover a tooth and restore it to its normal shape and size. A crown can make your tooth stronger and improve its appearance. A crown is a good way to cover teeth that are discolored, broken or badly shaped. It’s also used to cover a dental implant. It may be used to cover and support a tooth with a large filling.

Veneers

Today a veneer placed on top of your teeth can correct nature's mistake or the results of an injury and help you have a beautiful smile. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells crafted of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front side of teeth. They're made by a dental technician, usually in a dental lab, working from a model. Dr. Bevans can tell you more about veneers at your appointment.
