Q: How can I improve the look of my silver fillings?

A: Silver fillings only last for a few years. At most, they can last for eight years after which they need to be replaced. Consult a dentist to determine if you’ll need to replace your fillings. There are several materials available now such as porcelain veneers and resin inlays which look more natural, are more wear-resistant, and are stronger than silver fillings.

Q: What teeth whitening service should I use?

A: You can choose between two teeth whitening services: teeth whitening in your dentist’s office or teeth whitening at home using a dentist-supervised product. Either way, you will still need to visit your Sunnyvale dentist to determine which service is right for you. You can even choose the particular shade you want for your teeth.
