Oasis can help you keep your natural looking smile with tooth
coloured fillings and crowns
Because of natural tooth wear and decay, most people are likely
to require a filling or even a crown at some point in their
lives.
However, this doesn't have to mean that the appearance of your
smile has to be spoilt.
Oasis offers a range of tooth coloured fillings and crowns, so you can also have a choice
of non-metal options that will be almost completely
indistinguishable from your real teeth.
So, should your Oasis dentist ever recommend that you need a
filling or crown, just ask about the range of 'invisible' treatment
options we offer.
Such cosmetic options are automatically offered to private
patients as part of any treatment plan that your Oasis dentist
recommends to you.
Because NHS
dentistry can only provide the treatment that is necessary to
protect and maintain the health of your mouth, teeth and gums,
cosmetic treatments (such as tooth coloured fillings and crowns)
are not normally available under NHS care. However, the good news
is that even if you are an NHS patient at Oasis, you can still
benefit from our full range of treatment options and keep your
natural looking smile. All you'd need to do is pay for your
treatment privately in addition to your normal NHS charges. Just
ask your Oasis dentist for more information should ever need
treatment that may affect the appearance of your teeth.
Should you ever need a filling or crown, your Oasis dentist will
discuss the benefits, suitability and costs of all the treatment
options available, so you can choose the one thatís right for
you.
If you already have amalgam (dark metal) fillings, please note
that is usually recommended that you change fillings only when your
dentist decides that an old filling needs replacing. However, if
this is the case, then you can ask to have it replaced in a
tooth-coloured material.
Of course, the best way to keep your smile looking natural is to
reduce the risk of having to have treatment by taking good care of
your teeth and gums. the best way to do this is to visit both your
dentist and hygienist regularly.
If you haven't been to a dentist for some time, then an Oasis
dentist will be happy to see you. With both private and NHS
practices across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, there's an Oasis
there for you offering a preventive approach to care in a
relaxed and friendly environment.
