White Fillings Restore Your Teeth with a Natural Looking Smile

Modern advances in dental materials allow your dentist to restore your teeth with a natural appearance.

2013-02-02

LAS VEGAS, NV, February 02, 2013 (Press-News.org) Modern advances in dental materials allow your dentist to restore your teeth with a natural appearance. The days of unsightly silver amalgam fillings can be a thing of the past. Amalgam fillings were the old standard that used metal alloys of silver, tin, copper, and mercury to fill cavities and repair your teeth.

White fillings, sometimes called composite or porcelain fillings, are comprised of a composite resin material that your dentist can stain to match your teeth. Your restored teeth will then mimic your natural teeth and blend in with the rest of your healthy smile.

White fillings are especially useful and often recommended by dentists to restore teeth toward the front of your mouth so that no one will notice your fillings in your smile.

Advantages of White Fillings

White fillings have many benefits over amalgam fillings. Some of these include:

- Usually only one visit is required to restore your tooth.
- Less of the healthy portion of your tooth is drilled.
- Chemical bonding to tooth structure to provides more support.
- Usable not only to repair cavities but also broken, worn, or chipped teeth.
- Less risk of cracks and fractures because white fillings expand and contract less.

Application of White Fillings

Your dentist will bond white or porcelain fillings to your tooth with adhesive after removing your cavity. The white filling is applied in layers and the dentist will harden it will a special light.

White fillings are durable, but like other materials your dentist uses, they may need to be replaced periodically. Regular visits to the dentist for checkups will help you maintain a healthy mouth and a bright smile.

If you are in the Las Vegas area and would like more information regarding white fillings, please visit the website of Drs. Bryson and Margio Dentistry at www.drsbrysonandmargio.com.

Working in human colorectal cancer cell lines and tumor samples, as well as mouse models, the researchers found that endothelial cells, which line the inside of blood vessels, can trigger changes in cancer cells without even coming into ...

NASA's SDO provides first sightings of how a CME forms

2013-02-01

On July 18, 2012, a fairly small explosion of light burst off the lower right limb of the sun. Such flares often come with an associated eruption of solar material, known as a coronal mass ejection or CME – but this one did not. Something interesting did happen, however. Magnetic field lines in this area of the sun's atmosphere, the corona, began to twist and kink, generating the hottest solar material – a charged gas called plasma – to trace out the newly-formed slinky shape. The plasma glowed brightly in extreme ultraviolet images from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly ...
