WHITE FILLINGS
Fillings are the most common type of restorative treatment. A filling is the most common option when needing to replace part of a tooth damaged by decay, cavity and damage.
The first choice nowadays is the Composite Resin filling, also known as white fillings.
The white filling is a mixture of tooth-coloured plastic, filled with silicon oxide (glass). The preferred choice by many patients compared to the Amalgam ‘silver’ filling that was commonly used in previous years. Not only does the composite match in shade and translucency but the texture can now be matched to your teeth ensuring a comfortable as well as cosmetically pleasing result that limits the noticeability of any work having been done.
The composite resin used today has been significantly improved meaning that white fillings are now used more commonly on back teeth as well as the front ensuring a more natural look as it matches the colour of your natural teeth.
CROWNS
A dental crown, or cap as they are sometimes called, are a perfect restoration for teeth that have been damaged, weakened or broken.
The crown or cap, are the cover that fits over what’s left of a natural tooth to restore its look, strength and shape.
Our highly experienced dentists will prepare the remianing too ready to take an impression of your tooth. From this a partnering lab with make this crown ready for it. Then using only the finest materials, a special cement is used to bond the porcelain crown to the tooth.

BRIDGES
Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth or fill gaps.
The bridge permanently fits a replacement tooth or teeth by being carefully attached to the adjacent teeth.
Dental bridges are usually made of a precious metal. If the bridge will show, porcelain is then bonded to the base providing a cosmetically pleasing result. Sometimes, there are other non-precious metals used in the base for strength, our highly experienced dentists will discuss all options with you during your consultation.

VENEERS
You may wonder why not just whiten the teeth if the issue is discoloration? Well the answer is simple, discoloration can be different in various parts of the teeth, meaning that in some cases if you try teeth whitening, the banding will remain.
If the issue is that your teeth are not aligned correctly, you may wonder why not uses braces? While braces are a great way to straighten teeth, there are lots of people who have very unique and individual tooth shapes. While braces will align teeth, they can’t always give the perfect shape you are looking for.
Veneers are the best solution as they provide the perfect colour, shape and alignment in one go… leaving you with a stunning smile!
A veneer is a thin layer of porcelain that is made to fit of the tooth. The porcelain shell is very thin and held in place by a strong lasting bond.
So whether you need to amend a discoloured or stained tooth, fix a chip or close a small gap, veneers are the perfect solution.
