Restorative dentistry improves individuals’ oral health as well as the functioning abilities. Explore your options today.

We provide the very latest in restorative materials which blend naturally to the colour and contour of your teeth, often referred to as Composite Bonding . With developments in technology composite tooth-coloured fillings are very strong and durable and usually require less preparation. They can be used to help disguise gaps between teeth and restore broken, chipped, or fractured teeth. Composites can also be used to replace unsightly amalgam fillings. Our Care Plan patients will also receive 15% off all filling treatments.

Crowns

A crown is a porcelain, zirconia or metal case that fits over a tooth. It encases the tooth and completely covers the visible part of the tooth up to the gum line. They are particularly useful for protecting a weak or a very broken-down tooth. Many people have root canal treatment which may result in a heavily restored tooth. Research has shown that these teeth are best treated long term with placement of a custom-made crown, and it only takes two appointments to transform a fractured and failing tooth back to function.

Bridges

A dental bridge is made by putting crowns on the teeth either side of a gap where a tooth is missing. These two crowns are then joined together by placing a false tooth in the space. This is all made by our local dental laboratory specialists and then the bridge is cemented in place permanently.

Bridges can also be made from porcelain which are metal free. They give a fantastic and natural appearance.

For a bridge to be successful you must have good bone support with strong enough teeth to support the bridge. Check out our Smile Gallery.

Discussion with the dental team will help you to decide on the best treatment for you. A bridge should last for many years as long it is cleaned daily, and your gums are healthy. Regular visits to the hygienist can help maintain your gum health.
