We will always advise you on what kind of filling material is suited to your situation. Talk to us if you would like a particular type of filling material such as tooth-coloured fillings.

Crowns

Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth which have been broken, or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. The crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth. Crowns are sometimes also known as ‘caps’.

Bridges

Bridges are ideal for people who don’t like dentures and only have one or two teeth missing. Bridges are usually made by crowning the teeth on either side of the gap and attaching a false tooth in the middle. They are fixed in the same way as crowns. These bridges are usually made of precious metal bonded to porcelain. Sometimes other non-precious metals are used in the base to give it extra strength.

Dentures

Dentures are removable restorations for missing teeth. They can be partial, replacing some teeth, or complete, replacing a full arch of teeth. They can be made with a very natural and attractive appearance, in full consideration of your wishes.

Partical Dentures

Your appearance is one reason. Another is that the gap left by a missing tooth can mean more strain is put on the teeth at either side. A gap can also mean your ‘bite' is affected, because the teeth next to the space can lean into the gap and change the way the upper and lower teeth bite together. This can then lead to food getting packed into the gap, which causes tooth decay and gum disease.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment (also called ‘endodontics') is needed when the blood or nerve supply of the tooth (called the ‘pulp') is infected through decay or injury. You may not feel any pain in the early stages of the infection. In some cases your tooth could darken in colour, which may mean that the nerve of the tooth has died (or is dying). This would need root canal treatment.

Implants

A dental implant is used to support one or more false teeth. It is a titanium screw that can replace the root of a tooth when it fails. Just like a tooth root, it is placed into the jawbone.

Sensitive Teeth

Having sensitive teeth can mean anything from getting a mild twinge to having severe discomfort that can continue for several hours, when you drink or eat something acidic, cold, hot or sweet. The pain can come and go, with some times being worse than others. Sensitivity that lingers for more than a minute can be an early warning sign of a more serious dental problems.
