If your smile is in need of some restorative work this winter, we are here to patch up the teeth and restore your smile to its former glory. We offer a comprehensive range of restorative and tooth replacement treatments, from crowns and fillings to bridges, dentures and dental implants.
Fillings
Fillings are used when a tooth has a cavity. The cavity is filled to make the tooth stronger and more robust. White fillings offer natural looking aesthetics and provide a safer alternative to mercury amalgam fillings. Treatment to fill a tooth usually takes around an hour.
Dental crowns
Dental crowns are a commonly used restorative treatment, which is used when a tooth is damaged or decayed. Crowns are positioned over the top of the tooth and they help to protect and restore the tooth. There are different materials that can be used to make a crown and we often recommend porcelain, as it provides a natural looking finish. Crown treatment usually takes 2 sessions and a crown should last for around 10 years. When a tooth is damaged, but not extensively, an inlay or onlay may be recommended. These restorative treatments are often referred to as a mid-point between fillings and crowns.
Tooth replacement: dental bridges, dentures and implants
Dental bridges, dentures and dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. Most commonly, bridges are used to replace a single tooth, while dentures are used to replace a number of missing teeth. Implants are a versatile treatment, which can provide an option for patients with any number of lost teeth. Implants are a long-term solution, that offers amazing aesthetics and optimum functionality, while dentures and bridges involve a quick and simple treatment process and natural looking results.
