I would like… whiter teeth.
As we get older our teeth can become darker or discoloured. There is now a simple procedure available to painlessly lighten them without using drills and carried out at home.
I would like… straight teeth.
Crooked or uneven teeth can be straightened by braces to align the teeth and improve their look. Orthodontics is not only for children, adults can also benefit from treatment.
I would like… to get rid of my silver fillings.
You don't have to put up with unsightly old amalgam fillings. Most people when they need a filling would rather have a tooth coloured one. But why not have your remaining amalgam fillings replaced with tooth coloured alternatives. It also means you're removing the mercury component of the filling.
I would like… to get rid of my dentures.
These days there are several alternatives to dentures.
I would like…to improve the look of my front crowns.
If you have crowns which have unsightly margins or no longer match the rest of your teeth we can replace them using new all porcelain crowns. Many front crowns have a metal shell under the porcelain which used to be needed to add strength. This made the crowns appear dull and opaque. It can also be seen as a dark band around the gum margin of the tooth. This new all porcelain technique involves the use of translucent porcelains which accurately recreate the look of natural teeth without the need for a metal shell. The result is a " natural tooth" rather than a crown that's made to look like a tooth.
I would like… to fill in the gaps between my back teeth.
If you have gaps between your teeth, even at the back of your mouth , there are now treatment options which can replace your missing teeth restoring not only your chewing ability but also your restoring your smile.
I would like… whiter fillings
Usually all it takes is to replace the fillings with modern cosmetic composite resin materials. These new composites are so good that the fillings simply blend into the teeth. Occasionally, veneers or crowns may be necessary.
I would like… my teeth or fillings to stop breaking.
When teeth are heavily restored with large fillings they quite often break leaving sharp, sensitive teeth. We can strengthen and restore these teeth with crowns which protect them from further damage.
I would like… to close the gaps between my front teeth.
Veneers can close gaps, align minor rotations, and even the profile of the teeth.
I would like… to stop snoring.
Did you know that we can now make an appliance which, when worn overnight, usually eliminates snoring restoring your not only your nights sleep but also that of your partner!
I would like… less sensitive teeth
We can desensitise teeth without the need for the drill, by applications of a special desensitizing agent.
I would like... my gums to stop bleeding when I brush them.
Healthy gums don't bleed so the chances are that there is some form of gum disease.
