Do you have a missing tooth or teeth? Are you having problems with biting or chewing, a lose denture, or do you have an usightly big gap where the teeth used to be? Dental implants are the best replacements for the missing teeth. The implanted tooth is fixed in the bone and behaves just like your old natural counterpart. It allows you to chew properly again and you do not need to worry about the tooth falling out, like the denture. Modern implant treatment is highly predictable with good successful outcomes. It also helps to prevent the gum from shrinking, allowing you to have a better lifestyle and smile. Dental implant treatment is not available under national health.

Veneers are thin, semi-translucent laminates made of ceramic or porcelain which are permanently bonded to your teeth. They are very effective and aesthetically pleasing in the treatment of certain dental conditions such as stained or discoloured teeth. They require very little preparations and therefore do not harm your teeth.
Crowns or caps are used to cover stained and heavily restored teeth. They can strengthen your teeth as well as provide better appearance. Modern crown materials behave like natural tooth substance, and allow the dentist to create beautiful, life-like porcelain restorations. Where teeth have large broken down fillings, a crown can protect and preserve the remaining natural tooth. Following root canal treatment, a crown is required to cover the remaining tooth structure to preserve aesthetic and function. Crowns address aesthetic needs, restore tooth function, and enhance the overall health of your dentition.
A bridge is constructed to replace the missing tooth or teeth. It requires the capping of the adjacent teeth to provide support. It is a quick and simple way of restoring a single or double tooth gap. It is fixed in place and provides you with confidence, good function and reasonable aesthetics.
Tooth-coloured or white filling materials are not new in dentistry and has been used for over 50 years to fill the cavities. It is a healthier and natural alternative to the traditional silver/mercury amalgam fillings. They can be used at the front or back of the mouth. Modern white filling materials are bonded to the tooth with adhesive and therefore more resistant to tooth decay.
Root Canal treatment is required if the pulp of the tooth is infected or damaged and become abscessed. The procedure involves gaining access to the pulp and its root canal system and to clean out the dead tissues which causes inflammation, pain and swelling. After cleaning and reshaping of the root canal system, a bland and inert root sealer is used to seal the root canal permanently to prevent the invasion of the bacteria again. After the treatment, the tooth is pain free and you can still keep it in your mouth just like the original tooth.
