Tooth-coloured fillings
Silver-mercury amalgam fillings look ugly. we use tooth-coloured fillings on both
the front and back teeth to give you a better smile. When expertly handled,
believe tooth-coloured materials are as good, or better than, amalgam
fillings.
Root canal treatment
Root canal treatments can save dead, discoloured or abscessed teeth from unnecessary
extraction. They have a very high success rate.
Dental Implant
A dental implant can be thought of as an artificial
tooth root that is submerged into the jawbone. When dental work such as a crown,
fixed bridge or a full set of dentures is added, one or more missing teeth can
be replaced. A dental implant is fabricated from a very strong, biocompatible
material placed in a simple procedure that, generally, is as convenient as a
tooth extraction. After an initial healing period, during which the implant is
buried in bone and left undisturbed under gum tissue, it is uncovered and
connected to a small metal post that secures and supports the artificial tooth.
The implant material is extremely biocompatible. The bone grows to the implant
and bonds to it. This makes the implant very strong. The process is called 'osseointegration'.
A dental implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth a dentist can give you.
They feel much more natural and secure than traditional removable dentures,
especially if these are loose fitting because of extensive bone loss. If several
adjacent teeth are missing, a fixed bridge may be attached to dental implants as
an alternative to a removable partial denture plate. Dental implants allow for
the replacement of a missing tooth without modifying adjacent teeth.
