Our extensive range of services provides your teeth and mouth with the best possible solutions. Get in touch to discuss how we can help restore your smile.
You can make an ACC claim if you have had an accident that has damaged your teeth and they need repair. There will be part charges applied but we can give you an estimate of costs. General breakages from eating are not considered eligible for ACC funding, under the ACC terms and conditions. Please call us and we will be happy to provide you with more information, and help restore your smile.
If you have a missing tooth there are many treatment options available to you, including partial dentures, bridges and implants. A consultation with your dental surgeon will help you determine the treatment option that would be most suitable for your individual needs.
This is an exciting field of our work, where we can offer a number of solutions to create that winning smile for you. Treatment options include componeers, porcelain veneers, crown and bridge work, whitening and implants. A consultation with your dental surgeon will inform you of all your options and help you design your new smile.
DENTURES
We refer to excellent Clinical Dental Technicians at Denture Solutions. They have a clinic at Grey St Dental surgery. They work in closely with our dental surgeons to optimise the best results for you. Contact them via this link or call us to make an appointment with them.
There is nothing more important than your health, and a healthy mouth is a very important part of the equation. A good, regular at home maintenance regime of flossing, rinsing and brushing will take care of everyday oral hygiene, but a regular 6 monthly or 12 monthly dental examination, scale and polish with your dental surgeon is very important to limit build up of the hard bacterial calculus deposits on the teeth. We will also check the health of your whole mouth as well as your teeth, and advise you on the appropriate dental hygiene regime for you.
EXTRACTIONS
All of our dental surgeons are very experienced in all aspects of tooth extraction including wisdom teeth. We use local anaesthetic.
Using the very latest technology, we can rebuild your tooth with a porcelain crown, inlay or onlay in our surgery, within just a few hours. An impression is taken and scanned and sent to a computer, which transfers the information to a milling machine, which mills your crown to exactly the correct shape. It is then individually hand coloured and fired in our kiln, to produce you a beautiful, natural looking tooth.
IMPLANTS
If you have lost one or more teeth, or have been struggling with a partial denture or full dentures, implants may be an option for you. Implants can be surgically placed in your jaw, and individual crowns, bridges or removable dentures can be fitted to restore your teeth.
This is as close as we can get to restoring your original function, ability to bite and chew. We can also often improve the look and feel of your teeth, renewing your self-esteem with a radiating smile.
Our soft tissue laser may be used to treat a number of periodontal conditions, it is also an excellent tool to use during other restorative procedures.
Teeth require restoration for many reasons; wear and tear, accidents, and even lack of hygiene regime. We put them under enormous stress during their daily use. We eat nuts, open bottles, chew lollies! When they need repair we have many and varied options available to us and will do whatever we can to get you fully functioning and smiling again.
This is an advanced treatment required when the nerves within the root of the tooth have become infected and need to be removed and replaced with a filling. Our dental surgeons may offer you root canal treatment or, in complicated cases, they may refer you to a specialist.
