Implants are the ideal solution for replacing missing teeth or teeth needing extraction. The procedure involves a titanium root to be placed within the bones and allowed to integrate naturally for around 4-6 months. The crowns are then fixed to this artificial root. During the healing phase, a temporary denture is used to restore your smile.

Implants can be regarded as a kind of small surgery operations, usually they are performed under local anesthetic ( just to numb the jaws). However in some cases (eg missing bones), a general anesthetic is needed to restore them using a soft bone.

The success rate for implants is extremely good ( can be as high as 95%! ). Very few people experience anything other than mild discomfort right after the operation.

Dentures can be made as full (whole arch or whole mouth) or partial (replacing one or several teeth). All dentures are removable and have a tendency to move. To achieve stability, partial dentures need to be clasped to the natural teeth. But this can be unsightly. Precision attachments can allow the denture to be attached without showing the clasps.

Both partial and full dentures can be made to appear quite natural using the latest artificial teeth and acrylic. However, they are never an ideal substitute for natural tooth support or implants.

Bridges are restorations designed to replace missing teeth. It involves reducing the size of the adjacent teeth which act as supporters. However there is a limit to the length which a tooth can be bridged in addition, it requires a tooth to be present at each end for support if one’s aim is for a long term success.

Crowns are used to support the tooth when it is heavily filled (or root filled) or when the bite is heavy.

Procera crowns and Inceram crowns contain no metal in their composition. Their strength comes from a sophisticated core of dense porcelain. These eliminate the dark line often seen at the gum margin.

Veneers are thin porcelain surfaces which are bonded over the front tooth surface. However only minimal tooth reduction is needed.

Veneers can be used to correct ageing smile lines, close spaces and change the color of teeth.

Bonding involves using composite filing material to mask defects and close spaces. The results are instant, but be prepared to replace these restorations more frequently.

An inlay is an indirect restoration (filling) fitted to a cavity in a tooth and cemented into place.

Inlays usually perform using a solid substance such as gold or porcelain but it can also be constructed using tooth-colored materials depending on the tooth conditions. Do give us a call for more information.

Air Polishing is an easy and effective method for removing any stains (caused by tea/coffee/red wine/smoking etc) and / or discolouration of the teeth.

Cosmetic fillings is usually used for repairing chipped edges around a tooth.
