Crowns And Bridges

Crowns can be either metal, porcelain fused to metal (PFM), or all porcelain/ceramic. Metals can either be noble metals or base metals, noble metals having higher content of gold, platinum or palladium. Noble metals are typically more accurate when they are cast by the lab technician and offer a better bond with porcelain.

A bridge stabilizes the bite of a patient who is missing one or more teeth. Bridges prevent the surrounding teeth from moving or shifting in the mouth. A missing tooth that is not replaced may cause surrounding teeth to become unstable and require removal, compromising oral health or change the shape of the face and diminish the beauty of a smile.

Dental Bleaching

Bleaching is one of the most common procedures of dental cosmetics. It brightens teeth that are discoloured, stained, or have been darkened because of injury or drinking habits. Any tooth, even those that have had root canal surgery, can receive bleaching treatment. This can be done by a dentist in the dental clinic or at home.

Orthodontics

Orthodontic patients should continue to attend their family dentist for regular check-ups during the course of orthodontic treatment.

Dental Implants

Without your natural teeth you may find that there are many things you miss. You may miss having your natural smile miss. You may also miss the pleasure of crunching into an apple or sinking your teeth into a mouth – watering steak? Perhaps you feel a little self-conscious about eating or speaking in public. Perhaps your remaining teeth are shifting or you suffer from muscle strain and headaches. Do you miss the comfort and confidence you once took for granted?

Dentures

Dentures can help give the edentulous patient better masticatory (chewing) abilities, as well as enhance their aesthetic appeal by providing the illusion of having natural teeth, providing support for their lips and cheeks, and correcting the collapsed appearance commonly seen between the nose and the chin.
