Implants, Crowns & Bridges
Some teeth cannot be restored successfully with a simple filling. For those teeth which require superior strength and aesthetics, have cracks, or little tooth remains your dentist may suggest a crown or a porcelain or gold filling.

We have our own experienced ceramic and gold technicians and equipment to give personalised service in this area. Your dentist will certainly be able to recommend which is the most appropriate option for you. Below left is a bridge being attached to 2 prepared teeth.

Endodontic Treatment (Root Fillings)
When bacteria infects the pulps of teeth they can develop abcesses. We endeavor to save abscessed teeth where ever possible rather than extract them. This involves removing the infection with Root canal treatment whereby antibiotics are placed within the tooth to destroy harmful bacteria.

The root canals are thoroughly cleaned out, treated with medicaments and sealed with a rubber material called gutta-percha to prevent re-infection and allow us to build up the tooth once more.
