Fillings

Having a tooth filling when required is important to prevent the further spreading of decay and ensure the long term health of your teeth. A tooth filling can also prevent toothache.

Teeth fillings are a cheap and easy way to prevent a much bigger issue such as tooth loss. Common materials used for fillings are Composites and Amalgam.

Crowns and Bridges

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged tooth and is a more robust solution for damaged teeth. The benefit of a crown is it will look, feel and function just like a normal tooth. Teeth crowns can be made from a white porcelain material or from metal (gold or alloy metal). Thankfully due to the latest in dental technology porcelain crowns can look indistinguishable from normal teeth.

Dental bridges are literally a bridge created between your natural teeth to fill a void of one or more missing teeth. Bridges can be made from gold, alloy or porcelain or a combination of these materials.

Root Canal Treatment

A root canal is a dental treatment that can be used to save a badly decayed or infected tooth.

The procedure involves the tooth’s nerve and pulp being removed. The inside of the tooth can then be cleaned and sealed.

Onlays & Inlays

Inlays can be used much like a filling. The treatment involves a tooth-colored material such as porcelain or composite being inserted or metal (gold or silver coloured) into a cavity and bonded to the tooth.

Onlays are very similar but cover bigger surface of the tooth.

Sports Guards

A sports guard can fall under many names. Whether you call it a sports guard a gumshield or a mouthguard their purpose is to protect your teeth during potentially rough sports.

Our dentist will create a custom made mouthguard to ensure comfort and prevent it from moving around your mouth. Helping you to perform at the top of your game.

Tooth Extraction

When a tooth is badly damaged due to trauma or decay sometimes the best course of action is tooth extraction.

We will give you the best possible advice and put in place a dental plan tailored to your needs.
