Cosmetic Tooth Coloured Fillings
Many patients are now electing to replace mercury fillings for cosmetic/health reasons with tooth-coloured fillings. We do not use mercury fillings at The Harman Dental Clinic - in line with Scandinavia and Germany who have banned its use.
Dr Oliver Harman has studied with Didier Dieditchi at the Geneva Smile Centre to give his patients beautiful, natural looking cosmetic fillings that will last for many years to come.
At The Harman Dental Clinic we advise that white fillings are best when the cavity/filling to be replaced is small to medium in size. When a larger filling is required a porcelain filling is a better option.
Porcelain Fillings
Porcelain fillings are similar to that used in high strength veneers and crowns. Porcelain fillings are handmade by a dental technician to fit each single tooth. They take up to two weeks to make, to ensure that they look just like the tooth did before it had a filling.
They are indicated when there is too little tooth structure to predictably support a tooth-coloured filling but there is sufficient tooth to avoid placing a crown, which is more destructive to the tooth.
How long does a porcelain filling last?
Porcelain fillings are more durable - lasting up to 15-25 years!
