Where can I get white fillings?

Q.
Can you advise me of where I can get white fillings instead of metals ones and the costs associated with these?
Many Thanks

Hi

Any good cosmetic dentist would be the best place to start. There are lots of options with amalgam/metal filling replacements and it’s best to have a comprehensive evaluation done by a dentist, in person, before you can really know what’s suitable for you

So next step is to book an appointment with someone local to you to get some expert advice

Hope that helps

Many thanks. I have been to my dentist and they have informed that for
2 small white fillings it should cost £273.00 which seems a lot of money.
Is this the normal price or can I get this done somewhere else cheaper please?
Many thanks

Is it possible to have my fillings changed to white fillings instead of silver?,

Lucia Says :

yes – there are 2 main types of material used instead of amalgam – Porcelain or composite. Both are good alternatives but I would recommend porcelain filings for larger cavities

I am 21 years old and still have not got a filling. But a couple of months ago I found a black mark on my wisdom tooth and now it has delevoped into more of a hole which is causing me discomfort. I have been cleaning my teeth 3 times instead of 2 times a day plus rinsing my mouth with salt water, still with the intention of going to the dentist. What would be the best solution to either to extract the tooth or to get a non metal , non floride filling?

It sounds like you may have a cavity on this tooth wich will require professional attention. Book an appointment with your dentist.

I have six front teeth left at the top one is a composite filling one is very loose 4 are good i am undecided whether to have a an all on four full arch implant or just to have two placed on either side what would you reccomend?

Luke Says :

Hi It really depends on the condition of the front six teeth. If they are poor in prognosis , then a full arch may be more appropriate. I would recommend a consultation intially to examine your mouth and see what the best options for your case is.

I have over 12 filling in my teeth and one missing tooth. I am seriously thinking about implants. However I know this can be expensive, I don,t want to go abroad to have it done.My dentist told me that my front teeth top and bottom are in good condition however most of my molers are deeply filled. So how much would it cost for a full set of dental implants top and bottom and how long would the procedure take? And do you think this would be best?

I’ve just had a filling by my local dentist however there seems to be filling residue stuck to the side of my tooth and when resting my jaw closed the filling feels to big preventing me from adopting my rest position prior to the filling. are there problems that will go away as I adjust to the filling or should I seek corrective dental surgery? if this does not corrective procedures, would it be relatively simple?

the filliong residue can easily be removed by the dentist who place the filling

I had my first filling a 2 years old and went to the dentist every 6 months until I was 30, From 9 years old I was given general anesthetic for all treatment except the last time because I was pregnant. I had one filling then and I was really proud of myself, but as I was leaving went into shock, the dentist said I must never have treatment with anesthetic again. I have never been back to the dentist since and I am 53. I have fillings in most of my teeth. I have been lucky up to now but now need treatment. Where do I start?

I doubt very much you can’t be treated normally, you might just need a bit of extra time and care, perhaps contact a dental practice that helps anxious patients, it was probably just a reaction to the local anaesthetic, but tell your new dentist just in case.
