Tooth Restoration
Over time and due to usage, teeth can become worn, decayed or discoloured. There
are various options available to restore these teeth.
-
Aesthetic Dental Fillings
Teeth can be restored aesthetically with ceramic restorations or
tooth-coloured restorations. This treatment can help teeth look and feel
natural again.
-
Ceramic Crowns and Porcelain Veneers
If you are concerned about worn or discoloured teeth, ceramic crowns or
porcelain veneers are suitable options. Ceramic crowns can be placed
over existing teeth to restore desired shape and colour. Another option
to improve the appearance of front teeth are veneers. These are thin
pieces of porcelain bonded to natural teeth to improve the overall
appearance of teeth.
Tooth Replacement
Tooth loss for various reasons is sometimes unavoidable. Missing teeth may
affect appearance as well as chewing and speech. There are many options
available to restore your oral function and your confidence.
-
Dental Implants
The dental implant is probably the best option for tooth replacement
offering durability and aesthetics. The titanium-alloy implant is
biocompatible and surgically placed in the gum as an excellent support
for the replacement tooth. This is a quick and safe procedure done under
local anaesthesia. Once the implant post is firm, a porcelain crown is
placed over the post. The result is a tooth that looks and feels
natural.
-
Bridges
A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth or several missing teeth by
using the neighbouring teeth as support. Therefore, the number of
missing teeth as well as the condition of the remaining teeth are
important factors to be considered. Our prosthodontist will be able to
advise if this treatment option is suitable for you.
-
Dentures
A denture is a removable appliance made of acrylic or a combination of
metal and acrylic. It is a viable option to replace missing teeth but
has its limitations. Based on your needs and suitability, our
prosthodontist will be able to advise you.
