Why Choose Composite Fillings?

Why Choose Composite Fillings?

There was a time in history your dental concerns would have focused more on keeping your teeth than keeping your natural smile beautiful. Tooth loss was once considered a given and today is more of a distressing surprise.  Also in todays time, the thought of having a cavity filled with silver-colored amalgam has become a thing of the past. Most patients now choose a more natural looking, tooth-colored filling.

Amalgam was used for dental fillings for over 150 years. This material actually consists of a combination of alloy metals: silver, mercury, tin and copper. They are now being replaced with composite (tooth-colored) fillings that are composed of a plastic and glass mixture that is far more superior and pleasing to the eye. The aesthetic value of composite fillings is more appealing to most people, but there are many dental health benefits composite fillings provide.

Retention – Besides looking just like natural teeth, composite fillings add retention by being chemically bonded to the tooth. This chemical bonding process eliminates the need for excessive reduction of the natural tooth structure. This also heightens the durability of the restoration.

Longevity – Composite fillings have a longer lifespan than traditional amalgam restorations. The metallic nature of amalgam fillings can crack over time and shrink around the edges. Since composite resins are bonded to the tooth, they can last for many years.

Dental fillings are some of the most common restorations. Know your options so that you choose the method of treatment that will provide your desired results. Westchase Premier Dental offers the latest in technology and dental materials to give our patients the best treatment in dentistry today. Give us a call at (813) 475 – 4528. We look forward to getting your dental health on track with a beautiful, natural-looking smile.

Capture a Memorable Smile

Capture a Memorable Smile

A smile is an expression of joy that takes a mere moment, but the ability to capture a memorable smile can be cherished forever. However, if you dislike your smile, you may try to keep it from being so noticeable in your photos. You may find yourself hiding your teeth with a less-than-enthusiastic smile or avoiding being photographed altogether. This can greatly damper the ability to capture those memorable moments.

Westchase Premier Dental knows the value of a beautiful smile and that it extends far beyond planned memorable photos and unplanned snapshot opportunities. The social and emotional benefits that accompany a beautiful and confident smile are priceless. Through cosmetic dental treatment, you will no longer have missed opportunities of connecting with others while avoiding social situations and those dreadful camera lenses.

Each person is different when it comes to their cosmetic dental treatment needs. Brightening up dull colored teeth can be enough to make a huge difference for some. Others may opt for a complete smile makeover to correct all areas of imperfection. A consultation visit is the needed to determine which treatment is best to reach the desired outcome of each individual patient.

Choosing Dental Veneers – Westchase Dentist

Choosing Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are today’s most sought after cosmetic dental treatment next to whitening. Misaligned teeth, stains and cracks take away from your smile and can leave you feeling uncomfortable in social situations. Veneers correct these issues and can change just about every aspect of your smile. Veneers can also be applied with minimal changes to the structure of your teeth. The benefits are as impressive as the smile it brings to our patients after having their veneers placed.

Benefits when choosing dental veneers as your treatment include:
    • Durable & Long Lasting
    • Stain Resistant
    • Customized Fit
    • Natural Appearance
    • White & Bright Smile
    • Self Confidence

The Process

With today’s technological advances, the entire veneer placement process can be completed in as little as two visits. The first step is to visit your dentist and find out if veneers are right for you.

Some patients may need veneers only in a single area, while others may need to get a full row of veneers to achieve the smile they really want. Once there is the determination to have veneers placed, the next step is to have an impression of your teeth. The impression is used to create your custom fit veneers.

You will then have the veneers bonded to your teeth. In order for them to completely bond to your teeth, a very tiny amount of enamel will be need to be removed. A curing light is then used with a bonding resin to secure the veneers to your teeth. Once the veneers are in place, they’ll be polished and shaped for the finishing touch, leaving you with a new smile you’ll be proud to show to everyone!

Westchase Premier Dental can get you started if you have been considering choosing dental veneers and need to have an evaluation. If you’d like to learn more about veneers and other cosmetic treatments, give us a call at (813) 475 – 4528.

A Smile as White as Snow

Don’t let your yellowing teeth keep you from showing off your happy grin. If you have been considering teeth whitening treatment, there’s no time like the present to get started.

A Smile as White as Snow with Teeth Bleaching

Sometimes healthy teeth can become yellow and discolored. This discoloring can make you feel self-conscious and may even prevent you from showing your smile. Westchase Premier Dental offers bleaching treatments both in-office and at home. We offer deep bleaching treatment, which can significantly whiten your teeth even further than other dental bleaching solutions.

Before your in-office bleaching treatment, you will receive trays to use at home to prime your teeth for the procedure. Combining at-home and in-office treatment can whiten beyond your biological whitening limit. This bleaching method lasts much longer than conventional whitening methods. Read more information about our deep bleaching treatment.
