Treatment we offer

Treatment we offer

We offer the following dental care

Restorative dentistry

We can often repair teeth, rarely do teeth need to be removed.

Aesthetic dentistry or cosmetic dentistry

We can whiten teeth, make imperceptible tooth coloured repairs and porcelain veneers and crowns to restore the shapes and shade of teeth.

Endodontics or root fillings

Teeth with dental nerve disease can be root filled, we use a microscope to look inside the tiny canals and clean them. Often this is a painless procedure and means the tooth can remain in function. This is very successful indeed we have the specialist equipment required to carry out this difficult procedure.

Dentures

Partial dentures and complete or full dentures or plates can replace missing teeth, quality teeth and gum work can help recreate an attractive smile and make comfortable, secure dentures.
