All of our restorations at Dhuga Dental Centre are composite resin restorations or “white fillings” as they are commonly referred to. These restorations allow our dental team to restore your teeth to their normal shape, size and function without altering the colour of your teeth as would happen with amalgam restorations, commonly known as “silver fillings”.

Veneers are thin laminates of porcelain which are placed on prepared teeth in order to alter the colour, shape or size of the teeth. They are chemically bonded to the underlying tooth structure.

Tooth Whitening

The patients for whom tooth whitening or “bleaching” works best is for people whose teeth have become a little more yellow over the years due to age, coffee or tea drinking and smoking. Patient’s whose teeth are more gray than yellow due to any of the above reasons or fluorosis of the teeth tetracycline staining or some other reason do not respond as well to tooth whitening. The process of whitening involves a mould being taken of both your upper and lower teeth. A few days later you would return to the office to pick up plastic trays perfectly fitted to your mouth. We will provide you with tooth whitening material for your trays and show you how to use them at home. You will need to wear the trays for two hours per day for two weeks to notice a significant difference.
