If you are looking for natural, healthy looking teeth for a confident smile, then veneers might be the answer for you

For this reason, we only use tooth-coloured, mercury-free white fillings on all teeth, created from contemporary materials and designed to blend in with your natural tooth colour. For minor cosmetic changes to the shape of front teeth we can also use the same technique which is often called bonding or instant veneers.

What are white fillings?

These are filings that are used instead of silver fillings. These are placed directly into your mouth, more than one filling can be placed at a time. They look like your natural tooth and do not contain any mercury.

What are veneers?

Veneers are very thin shells of porcelain that are stuck to the front of your teeth to create a fantastic smile. Veneers are used to improve the shape of teeth.

What are crowns and inlays?

A crown covers the whole tooth to improve its appearance and function. The type of crown used depends on why and where it’s being placed. An inlay is made outside of the mouth either by a dental technician or using our Cerec system. An inlay is advised then the hole in the tooth is too big for a direct filling but a crown is not advised. It is like a piece of a puzzle that is made to fit perfectly for your tooth.

Top 10 FAQs

1. What are dental veneers?

Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells—typically made of porcelain or composite resin—designed to cover the front surface of teeth. They are used to improve the appearance of teeth by correcting discolouration, chips, gaps, or slight misalignment.

2. What are white fillings?

White fillings, also known as composite fillings, are tooth-coloured restorations used to repair decayed, chipped, or damaged teeth. They blend seamlessly with your natural tooth shade, making them a popular alternative to traditional metal (amalgam) fillings.

3. How long do veneers and white fillings last?

Porcelain veneers can last 10 to 15 years or more with proper care, while composite veneers tend to last around 5 to 7 years. White fillings generally last 5 to 10 years, depending on the size, location, and how well they’re maintained.

4. Are veneers and white fillings painful to have done?

Both treatments are typically painless. Local anaesthetic may be used during white fillings or tooth preparation for veneers to ensure comfort. Some patients experience mild sensitivity afterwards, but this usually settles quickly.

5. What are the main benefits of choosing veneers or white fillings?

Both veneers and white fillings offer excellent cosmetic and functional benefits. Veneers can dramatically enhance your smile by improving the shape, colour, and alignment of your teeth, while white fillings restore decayed or damaged teeth discreetly, blending naturally with your existing teeth. Both treatments are minimally invasive and help preserve your natural tooth structure.

6. Can anyone get veneers or white fillings?

Most adults are suitable candidates, but a full dental assessment is necessary. Veneers may not be suitable for individuals with excessive tooth grinding (bruxism), poor oral health, or insufficient enamel. White fillings are suitable for most cases of minor to moderate tooth damage or decay.

7. Do veneers damage your natural teeth?

Some enamel removal is usually required for porcelain veneers, which is irreversible. Composite veneers often need minimal or no preparation. A dentist will always aim to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible and discuss all implications before treatment.

8. Will white fillings stain or discolour over time?

Composite fillings can stain over time, especially with frequent exposure to coffee, tea, red wine, or smoking. However, they are easily polished or replaced if needed. Porcelain veneers are more stain-resistant than natural enamel.

9. What’s the difference between porcelain and composite veneers?

Porcelain veneers are more durable, stain-resistant, and have a highly natural appearance, but they are more costly and usually involve more preparation. Composite veneers are more affordable and can be applied in one visit but are slightly less durable and may stain more easily.

10. Where can I get veneers and white fillings in Portishead?

There are several reputable dental clinics in Portishead offering cosmetic treatments, including veneers and white fillings. Choose a GDC-registered dentist with experience in aesthetic dentistry and good patient feedback.

✨ “I’d definitely recommend Evolve.” ✨

When David first came to see us, he was unhappy with the appearance of his teeth and felt self-conscious about how wonky they looked.

He told us that his confidence had been affected so much that he would often keep his mouth closed when talking.

Like many patients, David was nervous about starting treatment, but our team took the time to listen, answer his questions and support him every step of the way.

Using teeth straightening followed by composite bonding, we helped David achieve the smile he had always wanted - and in just 9 months.

For David, the biggest change wasn’t just his teeth. It was feeling confident enough to smile, speak and be himself again.

Thank you, David, for trusting us with your smile and for sharing your experience.

🦷 How often should you visit the dentist?

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often, and the answer might surprise you.

Many people assume everyone should visit every six months, but that’s not always the case. Some patients may only need to see us every 12 months, while others benefit from more frequent visits every three or four months.

The right interval depends on factors such as your oral health, risk of tooth decay, gum health and any ongoing treatment.

In today’s Two Thirty video, Richard explains why dental review appointments are tailored to each individual and how regular visits help us spot potential problems before they become bigger issues.

Take a look at the video to learn more, and if you’re unsure when your next review is due, our team will be happy to help.

✨ Why are so many patients choosing Angel Aligners? ✨

If you’ve been thinking about straightening your teeth but are worried about noticeable braces, Angel Aligners could be the perfect solution.

In today’s video, Yasmin explains why patients love Angel Aligners. The clear aligners are comfortable, removable and incredibly discreet, meaning most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them.

But it’s not just patients who love them.

As a dentist, Yasmin values the flexibility Angel Aligners provide. By carefully placing attachments on the teeth, she can achieve precise movements and help treat more complex cases than many people realise.

The result? A straighter smile with a treatment that fits around your everyday life.

Watch the video below to hear Yasmin explain why Angel Aligners have become such a popular choice for patients looking to transform their smile.

Are dental X-rays safe? 🤔

It’s one of the questions we’re asked most often - and in this video, Richard explains why modern dental X-rays use very low levels of radiation and play an important role in protecting your oral health.

Dental X-rays help us spot problems that may not be visible during a normal examination, including decay between teeth, infections, bone loss and other hidden issues - often before they become more serious.

At Evolve Dentistry, we only recommend X-rays when clinically necessary and always keep radiation exposure as low as possible.

Today is World Environment Day 🌍

At Evolve Dentistry, we’re always looking at ways we can reduce our environmental impact while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.

Over the years, we’ve introduced a number of changes within the practice 

🦷 Using digital scanners instead of traditional impressions 
📄 Reducing paper usage through digital systems and communication
☕ Choosing paper cups rather than plastic alternatives
🌱 Using environmentally friendly materials and products where we can

Modern dentistry is constantly evolving, and we believe small changes can make a big difference over time.

Thank you to our patients for supporting a practice that is always striving to improve - not just for our patients, but for the environment too. 💚

Did you know that snoring can affect more than just your sleep? 😴

In this video, Maggie explains how snoring and mouth breathing can lead to a dry mouth - which may increase the risk of tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath.

Saliva plays an important role in protecting your teeth and gums, so when your mouth becomes dry overnight, it can have a bigger impact on your oral health than many people realise.

If you struggle with snoring, waking with a dry mouth, or persistent bad breath, it may be worth speaking to a dentist.
