Goodbye silver fillings, Hello white fillings

If you were born before the 80s and have had some dental fillings done, chances are these were done using metal amalgam fillings and not white fillings.

Your amalgam filling may look like a silver part of your tooth, and when it gets older it may turn discoloured to a darker blackish hue. For a lot of people, it can make them very self-conscious. It may be visible when you laugh or yawn or perhaps your silver filling is deteriorating and causing some discomfort.

Are you curious to know why amalgam was once the preferred filling material?

Dental amalgam fillings date back to the 1800s when a French dentist mixed a small amount of mercury with some melted silver coins to create a dental filling material.

It evolved from there and over time other metals (including lead – unbelievable right?) were incorporated to create a long-lasting, malleable material that was easy to place into teeth cavities. Dentists and inventors were determined to create a very long-lasting material that was easy to use and would pretty much last a lifetime. Amalgam fillings ticked a lot of those boxes.

Sounds awesome right? Except maybe not…

As we now know, mercury and lead are poisonous for the human body, and despite lots of evidence to support the safe use of modern amalgams, they are definitely no longer a preferred material for creating dental fillings. Plus, silver fillings are not very good looking things!

What happens to your tooth with a silver dental filling as time progresses?

In our dental practice, we often see teeth that have been filled with silver metal fillings for 20-30 years… or even longer! The recurring pattern we see is that a lot of these teeth suffer from cracks and symptoms due to the old filling design and materials used.

You use your teeth every day for your entire life, and you chew up to 100 times a day when you eat. Like most mechanical systems, your teeth and mouth need a stress breaker. A metal filling that was designed to last a lifetime, wedged into your tooth (not chemically bonded) can be detrimental because all the stress is then placed on the surrounding tooth structure.
Eventually, the tooth structure, together with the filling, will break.

Want to know what better dental filling alternative is available?

Here at Gisborne Family Dental, we rarely use metal amalgam materials for your dental fillings. Modern day fillings are made with tooth-coloured composite resin, which is medical grade plastic that is completely safe for your mouth.

Today’s white composite fillings adhere to your tooth structure to help provide strength. They also have a degree of flex that mimics your real tooth structure, and come in a variety of tooth coloured shades to restore the beauty of your natural tooth.

On top of all that, as you repeatedly use your teeth in daily life causing wear and tear, these white fillings do not place stress on your precious natural tooth structure, hence prolonging the lifespan of your teeth. This material has been tried and tested for the past few decades and continues to improve rapidly every day.

Are you embarrassed about the colour of your teeth, and want to learn about ways to whiten your teeth?

You’re not alone if you’re a little self-conscious about your smile and are on the hunt for a teeth whitening dentist in Gisborne.

If you find yourself smiling without showing your teeth, or with your hand covering your mouth then maybe it’s time to speak to one of our teeth whitening dentists about your concerns. We want you to be proud of your smile, and to show it off! We want to help you to be able to express yourself openly and confidently.

Let us assess your teeth and work out what whitening is best for you.

At our Gisborne dental clinic, we are unwavering in doing the right thing for your health and safety. Before any teeth whitening treatment, we encourage a full professional dental examination. We want to ensure that your teeth are disease free, and it will be safe for you to have whitening treatment. It is also important to make sure that the proposed treatment will be successful for you and your smile as reasons for discolouration vary from person to person.

Our dental team offers two types of teeth whitening treatments; in-chair teeth whitening and take-home teeth whitening kits. In-chair teeth whitening is a quick and effective treatment that can be done in just one visit to the dentist. The take-home teeth whitening kit is a more affordable option that can be more convenient and be done in your own time!

Book your next appointment today to discuss your teeth whitening options.

Why have my teeth discoloured over time?

Many patients ask us why their teeth are not ‘pearly white.’ It can sometimes look like someone has applied a yellow filter on your photos. Let’s be honest, us Victorians live in the coffee capital of the world and the other half of our population tend to be tea enthusiasts. Throw in the yummy green smoothies, thai red curries, and a beetroot salad, and it’s inevitable that your teeth will discolour over time.

Apart from food and drink pigments contributing to the general discolouration of your teeth, cigarette smoking, some medications and the natural ageing process of your teeth can also play a part . These factors tend to leave brownish spots, patches or lines, or a deeper yellowish discolouration across all your teeth.

On top of this, the areas closer to the gum line and in between your teeth typically show discoloration more, as they are thicker structures and may be more difficult for you to keep clean. Over time, stain molecules accumulate and become more resistant, so the older stains and teeth which have been discoloured for a long time may take more effort to whiten.

Ask our dentist about your take-home teeth whitening treatment kit

Fancy sitting on your comfy armchair, reading your favourite book, while also improving your smile?

Gisborne Family Dental make custom-fitted whitening trays and equip you with gentle and effective professional-grade whitening gels, so that you can create those pearly whites in the comfort of your own home. This is by far the safest and most sustainable way of professionally whitening your teeth, especially for long term stains that may be a little more stubborn.

A teeth whitening kit contains custom-made whitening trays and tubes of whitening gel. The process involves wearing the whitening trays for a certain amount of time everyday for a period of 2 -3 weeks. The treatment involves taking moulds of your upper and lower teeth in order to construct custom-fit bleach trays. These trays allow a greater concentration of whitening agent to be held on your teeth, whilst minimising wastage, ingestion, and overflow onto the gums.

After examining your teeth, our dentists will tailor a teeth whitening regime for you to achieve the best results in the shortest time possible.

Do I need to give up coffee if I get professional teeth whitening?

Can’t function without 3 double espressos per day? Coffee and other strongly coloured food and drinks will work against the professional teeth whitening process and for optimum results, it is best to cut these things out completely from your diet. If you really can’t refrain or cut down on your intake, you’ll probably find that your smile will still need another freshen up after a while, which is very easy with a take home kit. As long as your custom bleach trays still fit, you’ll just need some extra whitening gel and away you go!

Big occasion coming up soon? In-chair teeth whitening together with a take home bleaching kit may be the answer for you.

Have you left your smile til last on your wedding checklist? Don’t worry, we see it happen all the time. We offer an in-chair whitening treatment with stronger whitening gel to kick start that whitening process. This ensures much quicker results, in time for your all important event.

This professional teeth whitening option works best for short term improvement, however we still like to be sure you’re going to achieve a sustainable result. With all in chair whitening, we include a take-home teeth whitening kit as well. We want to make sure your smile keeps shining bright after leaving our clinic.

Smile, it lets your teeth breathe!

Your Invisalign Specialist in Gisborne

At Gisborne Family Dental, we have created many healthy and beautiful smiles using the world-renowned Invisalign system.

Do you want to improve your smile without wires or braces? Or maybe you have had braces in the past, and recently noticed your teeth are no longer as straight as they used to be.

For millions of people around the world, Invisalign has made it possible to achieve a beautiful smile without braces or wires, and we have chosen Invisalign as our trusted partner in providing clear aligner treatment.

What is Invisalign?

The Invisalign system is a virtually invisible treatment that uses an innovative approach to gently, yet effectively, straighten your teeth.

Through a series of custom-made removable aligners made with unique technology, the Invisalign system gradually and predictably moves your teeth to your desired position.

How does Invisalign work?

  1. At your initial visit, we will have an obligation-free consultation, where we discuss your desired outcomes, and work out if Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
  2. We will then take photos, x-rays, and a digital scan (instead of messy gooey moulds) to gather all the information required to start planning your treatment.
  3. Our dentist will then work with the Invisalign team to create a tailored 3D treatment plan just for you. With the treatment plan, you’ll be able to see the final position your teeth are predicted to reach after treatment. This treatment plan is used to develop your customised Invisalign aligners and also estimate the likely length of your treatment.
  4. We will show you your treatment plan, discuss the features, and answer any questions you may have. Once you’ve approved the treatment plan, the aligners will be manufactured and shipped to our practice.
  5. Your series of custom-made aligners will be given to you (typically 2-3 sets at a time) for you to wear every day and change them at home every 2 weeks.
    We will see you every 4-6 weeks to monitor the progress of your Invisalign treatment and you will receive the next series of aligners.
    After you’ve finished your Invisalign aligner treatment, you will need to use retainers to help make sure the new position of your teeth is maintained.

Life with Invisalign treatment

  • Seeing as Invisalign clear aligners are barely noticeable, you can be yourself and don’t have to hide your smile while going through treatment.
  • Lead an active lifestyle? Invisalign treatment lets you continue wearing your aligners without having to worry about the sharp components of your braces irritating your mouth.
  • Oral hygiene is a lot easier to upkeep because Invisalign clear aligners are removable, letting you brush and floss your teeth regularly and like normal.
  • Craving a snack? No problem. Since Invisalign clear aligners are removable, you have the freedom to eat, chew and drink just about anything you like.
  • Invisalign treatment appointments are usually short and sweet. We do a quick progress check every 4-6 weeks here at our Gisborne clinic making it easy and convenient for you.

The advantages of Invisalign over braces

  • Invisalign aligners are removable, so it is easier to clean your teeth and maintain your oral health during treatment.
  • The aligners are very discreet, so there’s no need to feel self-conscious as a lot of the time, the people around you won’t even know you are undergoing treatment
  • With Invisalign clear aligners, you don’t have to worry about doing the sports you want to do. Invisalign treatment is a suitable treatment option for an active lifestyle.
  • Are you deciding whether to straighten your teeth but feel worried about the discomfort? With innovative technologies, the Invisalign System is known to straighten your teeth predictably and more comfortably. No painful tightening required! At Gisborne Family Dental our Invisalign specialised dentists can ensure you get the best possible outcome for your smile.

We can help you achieve the smile you want.

My child’s permanent teeth are coming in crooked. Is now the right time to seek a consultation for braces or plates?

At Gisborne Family Dental, we understand the interest you may have in braces and orthodontics for your young children. Our Gisborne orthodontists are here to help you and your family.

Some factors such as genetic predisposition and early childhood health issues can cause underdevelopment of jaw bones, and hence showing the signs of your child’s permanent teeth coming in crooked at a fairly young age.

Like most conditions, underdeveloped jaws and crooked teeth may not affect function or cause any noticeable problems when it’s early and in milder forms. However, if allowed to progress, they can often lead to much bigger issues such as misalignment of upper and lower jaws, jaw pain, and uneven wear and tear of teeth.

There are some conditions where earlier treatment can prevent much bigger problems down the track, for example, a crossbite. If you suspect your child has jaw underdevelopment or crooked teeth, we encourage you to visit us for an orthodontic screening consultation at our Gisborne clinic.

Our orthodontists in Gisborne will assess and advise accordingly on whether there are reasons for concern, and if any orthodontic treatment such as braces or plates for your child may be required.

How are childhood sleep issues or nasal breathing problems related to crooked teeth?

Nasal breathing disturbance is linked to poor sleep and can happen to adults or children. It is more dangerous in children as their brain development is affected, and it’s harder to detect because children don’t tend to snore audibly.

How can dentists detect it? When nasal breathing is inefficient, the patient becomes a mouth breather. Because of the mouth breathing, jaw bones don’t develop normally and teeth continue to come through into the smaller jaw that lacks space. This is what often creates the appearance of crooked teeth.

Did you have teeth removed and braces as a teenager and now want your child to have a better outcome and less trauma?

Traditional orthodontics sometimes took the “shortcut” of removing healthy adult teeth in order to straighten teeth with braces, leaving a compromised result and more traumatic patient experience.

At Gisborne Family Dental, we avoid this by intervening early enough, when there’s still natural growth potential to harness.

We use devices that gently guide and promote growth of jaw bones, with the help of a compliant patient. This way the jaw bone is grown to accommodate all the teeth, the way nature meant for it to be.

We avoid the need to remove healthy adult teeth, therefore less trauma for you and your children. Other benefits of this orthodontic and braces method include a general health improvement due to a larger jaw, maintaining healthy airways, and better facial features – think nice wide smiles and high cheekbones!

We are all about the best possible orthodontic care for you and your family. It takes a holistic team to do that.

When we’re able to identify underdevelopment issues earlier, we’re not only able to create healthy jaws and straight teeth. You and your family will also benefit from better general health, improved facial features, as well as performing better in everyday activities.

The different parts of the human body work in sync with each other, and therefore we may recommend you to seek care from other health professionals, such as a medical GP, an ENT specialist, a sleep physician, an osteopath or a myotherapist.

At Gisborne Family dental, our experienced orthodontists can advise whether braces or plates  are the best option. 

We can help you achieve the smile you want.

“I’m embarrassed by my smile.”
“My grandchildren say I have dirty teeth.”
“I’ve never liked my teeth.”

These are some of the statements that people have told us over the years… and it’s heartbreaking to hear every time.

Your teeth help you eat well, enjoy food, and maintain good nutrition. Just as importantly, they give you immense confidence when you are proudly displaying your smile. Unfortunately there are some people who have misshapen or discoloured teeth, and it may really embarrass you.

Our dental veneers are designed to improve your smile by creating beautifully proportioned teeth shapes, and creatively mask any misalignment issues. They can be made from ceramic or composite resin, and can be tailored to create a uniform, natural bright colour to suit you perfectly.

The end result we aim to create together is an improved natural-looking beautiful smile, that you’ll be proud to show off as you live and laugh, and that has minimal maintenance over the years if you give your composite veneers the right care.
