Dentures are a removable appliance used as a replacement of missing teeth. There are two common types of dentures.
​
A Full Denture is used when all teeth in that arch have been lost.
A Partial Denture is used when there are some teeth missing.
​
Veneers or "facings" require minimal invasive dental procedures. Veneers can be used to improve the appearance of discoloured, chipped, weakened, misaligned teeth or gaps between teeth.
A small portion of the outer surface of your tooth enamel is removed and replaced with high strength porcelain made to the desired shape and colour.
​
​
A Dental Implant involves the surgical placement of an implant/fixture, much like a tooth root, in the jaw. The fixture is made of titanium which after time osseointegrates or "fuses" with your bone.
​
After 3-4 months we can make a permanent restoration to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
Implants can be used in crown and bridge fixed situations or to aid the retention of a denture.
​
​
A Crown is a type of dental restoration, which completely "caps" a tooth. A crown may be needed when a large cavity threatens the health of a tooth.
​
A Bridge is used to replace a missing tooth. The teeth either side of the missing tooth are "capped" and a bridging crown/pontic replaces the gap. Crowns and bridges are cemented in the mouth and are fixed permanent solutions.
​
​
A Make Over or "Smile Design" is a process of improving someone's smile and is usually when patients want a dramatic change to their appearance.
​
​
​
A Cosmetic Consultation is a service we offer to patients so we can understand what it is they would like improved about their smile and to advise them on how this may be achieved.
​
This could be for a tooth colour match for a crown, discussing improvements to dentures, whether implants would be beneficial for providing a full smile design proposal.
Digital Dentures are the same as conventional dentures and made using Computer Aided Dental Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CADD/CAM) technology. New software has been developed which means, in most cases, dentures can now be designed using CADD systems and are 3D printed, milled or a combination of the two.
