Fillings
If your teeth get chipped or decayed a filling is needed to repair it. When the decay is removed, the filling is used to replace the lost tooth structure. We use Glass Ionomer & Composite filling materials.
New Patient & Routine Exams
Maintaining healthy teeth and Gums is good for oral and overall health and wellbeing. Routine exams can help with spotting early signs of decay before they turn into something more expensive. The routine exams include X-rays a check-up of your teeth and gums and also a scale and polish.
Crowns
Crowns are coverings placed over teeth to protect what remains and restore form and function. They are usually made of porcelain which is a strong tooth coloured material. Crowns can be used to hide discoloured or heavily filled teeth and can be used to hide spaces between teeth.
The procedure spans two appointments usually a week apart.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom Teeth usually come through in late teens/early twenties and can cause problems in your mouth, such as developing infection, becoming impacted & over time cause loss of bone and decay to the surrounding teeth.
Tony will do an assessment on the wisdom tooth and provide you with the best course of treatment.
Teeth Whitening
The Enamel of your teeth can be whitened by the application of a whitening agent applied directly to your teeth. Tooth whitening can help with staining caused by age, colour rich food and drink, and also trauma. You can choose either:
