Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a customised tooth-shaped cover, or ‘cap’ designed to protect the structure of the tooth. A crown is often the best option to save and strengthen a tooth when the tooth is severely weakened by tooth decay, has a large weakened filling, or has fractured past the point of being able to be filled. Crowns are also recommended after a tooth as undergone root canal therapy.

Veneers

Veneers can be used to correct a multitude of imperfections including discoloured, chipped, crowded-in or crooked, oddly shaped or badly aligned front teeth as well as teeth with gaps. Veneers can be made of either porcelain or composite resin.

Not all teeth are suitable for veneers but, when suitable, it is a far more conservative alternative to crowns as there is little tooth reduction necessary.

Bridges

A dental bridge is one option for replacing a missing tooth, or teeth. This option can be more expensive than a partial denture, however has the advantage of being fixed in place and looking and feeling like a natural tooth.

Dentures

Replacing missing teeth can help improve your function while eating and speaking, appearance and smile, as well as boosting self confidence. There are a number of ways missing teeth can be replaced including; dentures, bridges or implants. Dentures offer a less expensive and relatively straightforward method of tooth replacement.

Orthodontics

Orthodontics and braces are traditionally thought of as treatments for younger people. However, there are an increasing number of adults who are considering orthodontic treatment later in life to improve the look and health of their teeth.

To get a perfectly straight smile, your first thought might be to place veneers or caps on your teeth to get a fast result. However, if your teeth are healthy and well shaped, you may get a better long term result with a treatment that leaves you with a straight smile and your own natural teeth. A check up with a dentist can determine whether orthodontics is a suitable treatment for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an orthodontist and a dentist?

An orthodontist is a specialist in correcting the alignment of teeth. Some dentists also offer orthodontic solutions, such as ClearCorrect and braces. A general dentist may have training in orthodontic services to improve the appearance and alignment of teeth, along with providing other dental services. Orthodontists deal with more difficult and complex cases.

Is it possible to have cavities filled with braces?

Ideally it is best to have a comprehensive examination prior to having braces placed. Although treatment is more difficult with braces it can be managed sometimes working around them or the treating dentist or orthodontist can remove the wire for treatment.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. The implant is placed in the bone of the jaw and over time will bond with the bone. The implant then serves as the foundation for a replacement tooth. When a patient has lost several or all of their teeth it may be possible for an implant or implants to provide the support for bridgework or a full denture.
