Here at Dental Perfection in Coventry we can replace your old amalgam (silver) or gold fillings safely with natural tooth coloured composite material.

White or tooth coloured fillings are known as composite fillings, they are made from a putty-like resin that can be moulded to the exact shape of the tooth and set using a visible blue light, they are life-like and long lasting. White fillings are the most popular cosmetic dental procedure. They do have some limitations regarding size and position in the mouth, your Coventry dentist will discuss these with you. It should also be borne in mind that cosmetic fillings usually last 4-5 years whereas amalgam can last longer.

Many people decide to switch to white fillings when older style amalgams need replacing due to wear and tear. However, if you have dark or discoloured fillings that are visible when smiling or laughing, you may decide to change them for cosmetic reasons.

The latest white fillings are available in a wide range of colours and translucencies, enabling the dentist to closely match the colour of your teeth and give them a natural and pleasant appearance.

Here at Dental Perfection in Coventry we offer the latest Zoom2 tooth whitening system as featured on TVs Extreme Makeover.

What is tooth whitening for?
Tooth whitening (bleaching) is a cosmetic procedure for lightening the existing tooth colour. The chemical used for whitening is either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide. It can be activated using heat or heat and light combined. The chemical in the form of gel is usually applied using a specially made tray fitting your teeth.
Back to top

What are indications and contraindications for tooth whitening?
Your Coventry dentist will usually recommend tooth whitening if your teeth are affected by any of the following: general staining caused by exposure to colouring foods and drinks, mild tetracycline staining or flurosis (mottling), age yellowing and greying.

Contraindications include severe tetracycline staining, severe flurosis, plastic or peroxide allergy. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Back to top

What whitening techniques are available?
There are two main tooth whitening techniques which can be used separately or in combination depending on the individual requirements and preferences. The most popular technique we use is power whitening using the zoom2 technology as seen on extreme makeover. We normally follow this with a take-home kit to give the best result. Alternatively, the home whitening can be carried out alone but this takes longer.
Back to top

How long will the procedure take?
The length of treatment will depend on the state of your teeth and the results you want to achieve. On average, the power whitening session takes 1-1.5 hours and then we recommend use of the follow-up kit for 1-2 weeks for 1 hour a day. You will need to discuss your requirements and expectations with your dentist in Coventry at Dental Perfection.
Back to top

How many appointments will I need for whitening?
You will need 2-3 visits to your dentist in Coventry. During the first one s/he will examine your teeth, take x-rays to check their periapical status, note their shade and discuss the results you want to achieve. You will be informed about the alternatives to bleaching such as crowns and veneers. The dentist should warn you that the necks of your teeth will not lighten as much as the rest and you may have some temporal sensitivity. Finally the dentist will take impressions for the trays which will be made at the dental laboratory.

During the second visit your Coventry dentist will carry out the power whitening and give you the trays and the follow-up kit of carbamide peroxide gel with the instruction to wear the trays filled with bleaching gel 1-2 hours during the day. You should not smoke, drink or eat while wearing the trays.

The third visit is usually required to check the progress and follow-up to check on the treatment results.
Back to top

How long will the whitening effect last?
The treatment results depend on the original shade of your teeth. The effect usually lasts for one to three years but can last longer depending on the diet. Then you may need to top up. Some people find that their teeth are extra sensitive several days after the treatment has been completed but it usually wears off after some time.

Are over-the-counter whitening kits as effective?
Tooth whitening is a complex treatment procedure that should be carried out by a dentist after thorough examination and assessment of your teeth. To ensure achievement of the desired results it is important to follow your dentist’s instructions. Although the over- the-counter kits are cheaper than the whitening treatment offered by the dentist they are not as effective due to reduced concentration of hydrogen peroxide, besides, some kits contain mild acids whilst others are mildly abrasive.
Back to top

Does whitening work on veneers and crowns?
Whitening only works on natural teeth and it doesn’t work on any type of false teeth including dentures, crowns and veneers. Stained veneers, crowns and dentures may need replacing so check with your dentist first.
Back to top

Can whitening toothpastes replace whitening treatment?
Whitening toothpastes are no substitute for professional tooth whitening. Although effective at stain removal they do not affect the natural shade of teeth. They are helpful in maintaining the appearance of professionally whitened teeth.

At Dental perfection in Coventry we offer the latest techniques in implantology and use the highest quality titanium implant systems. Dr Ravi Talati has a specialist interest in implantology and has trained extensively in this field attending courses all over the world to keep abreast of the latest techniques. Below is a list of FAQs about dental implants, if there are any questions that you have which are not covered below do not hesitate to contact our dental practice in Coventry for free information.

What is a Dental Implant?

A Dental implant is typically a small screw shaped attachment usually made from titanium. It is inserted within the jawbone to take the place of a missing tooth root. Once osseointegration (when the bone attaches firmly to the implant) has occurred, a replacement tooth can be secured to the top of the implant. This new tooth can look, feel and perform just like a natural tooth. It is possible to use multiple implants to support a denture or bridge.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Implant secured or stabilised replacement teeth are more comfortable than conventional dentures because there is no slipping or movement. This eliminates some of the key worries of dentures and improves self confidence.

Dental implants are the alternative to bridgework for permanently replacing missing teeth, eliminating the need to grind down healthy teeth.

When teeth are missing the surrounding bone begins to shrink. Dental implants can help maintain the shape and structure of the jaw bone.

What is involved in the implant process?

The implant process normally involves several steps that take place over a period of time from three to nine months. Although there are various implant treatment methods a typical process often includes:
Assessment planning
Implant placement
Integration period
The restorative phase
Maintenance

What is a root canal?
When do you need a root canal treatment?
How long does the treatment take?
What are the alternatives?
Will the tooth look different after the treatment?
Is the tooth weakened by the treatment?
Are there any alternatives to root canal treatments?
Do I need to eat or clean my teeth differently afterwards?

What is a root canal?
All teeth have a nerve and blood supply, called the pulp, these are positioned inside one or more canals depending upon the tooth. The larger teeth towards the back of the mouth usually have two to four canals whose structure can be quite complex.
Back to top

When would you need root canal treatment ?
Root canal (or endodontic) treatment is needed when the pulp becomes affected by decay or trauma. The pulp can either become inflamed and painful or in more severe cases non-vital, which means that the tooth loses its blood supply altogether. A non-vital tooth can become infected and this is termed an abscess. if a non-vial tooth is left untreated in most cases an abscess or will develop.
Back to top

What does the treatment involve?
Root canal treatment involves cleaning out the canals in the tooth, disinfecting them and then filling them very accurately and thoroughly with a root filling. This usually requires two or more visits to the dentist. The complexity lies in the fact that the dentist is working inside of the tooth to very small tolerances. It consists of the following stages:
Removing the remains of the pulp and if an abscess is present, allowing it to drain
The cleaning and shaping of the root canals ready for their filling
Putting in temporary filling
Checking the tooth at a later visit, ensuring that the infection is cleared and filling it permanently
Root canal treatments are usually successful and the infection does not come back, but if it does the treatment can be repeated.
Back to top

Are root treatments uncomfortable?
As with all modern dental techniques, local anaesthetics make root treatments very comfortable. Your experience of having a root treatment should be no different to that of having a normal filling. It is quite common though that the root treated tooth could be a bit tender to pressure, such as biting for a day or two after the treatment. This usually subsides quite quickly. If you have any concerns following your treatment, please contact your Coventry dentist.
Back to top

Does the root treatment change the colour of the tooth?
It does happen that a root treated tooth will darken with time. It’s quite a slow process and it could be some years before it’s noticeable, particularly if it’s a back tooth. Fortunately there are new techniques to lighten root treated teeth or alternatively your dentist in Coventry at Dental Perfection may suggest that the tooth should be crowned or veneered. Most patients prefer to have a slightly darker tooth than to lose it altogether.
Back to top

Is the tooth weakened by the treatment?
It is generally thought that root treated teeth are not as strong as normal ones. Whether this will necessitate further treatment to strengthen the tooth will depend upon its position in the mouth and the amount of damage or decay that led to the root canal treatment being needed in the first place. Your dentist will advise whether it is necessary to have crown or other restoration fitted for extra strength.
Back to top

Are there any alternatives to root canal treatments?
Once the nerve has become non-vital and an abscess has developed the only alternative to root canal treatment would be to have the tooth extracted. This is because pulp is unable to heal and it is inadvisable to leave an infected tooth in the mouth.
Back to top

Do I need to eat or clean my teeth differently afterwards?
No, you can eat quite normally, there are no special precautions. As always you should avoid holding hard objects such as pins or nails between the teeth. Once the root treatment is finished you shouldn’t know it’s there. Your oral hygiene should be carried out in exactly the same way as with your other teeth.

Here at Dental perfection in Coventry we offer the highest quality dentures for missing teeth. Our dentures are fabricated bespoke to give a perfect fit, and colour match to give a perfect cosmetic result. The FAQs below provide some information about dentures, if you have any questions that are not answered here do not hesitate to contact us.

What is a denture?
A denture is an appliance which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence.

A complete or full denture is one which replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws.

A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and may be attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps.

What are the dentures made of?
The base of a denture is called a plate and can be made of either acrylic (plastic) or metal. The teeth are normally made of acrylic and can be made to match your natural teeth.

Will the dentures make me look different?
Dentures can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that little change in appearance will be noticeable.

Will I be able to eat with dentures?
Eating will take a little practice. Start with soft foods cut into small pieces. Chew slowly using both sides of your mouth at the same time to prevent the denture from moving. As you become more used to your denture, add other foods until you return to your normal healthy diet.

Will dentures change how I speak?
Pronouncing certain words may require practice. Reading out aloud and repeating difficult words will help.

What will dentures feel like?
New dentures may feel awkward or even uncomfortable for a few weeks until you become accustomed to them. The dentures may feel loose while the muscles of your cheek and tongue learn to keep them in place. Should this continue, consult your dentist in Coventry at Dental Perfection.

For further information please do not hesitate to ask one of our dentists or staff who will be only to happy to help.
