When a tooth has been affected by decay or wear, composite restorations provide a reliable and conservative way to restore strength and function. After carefully removing any compromised tooth structure, a durable tooth-coloured material is bonded directly to the area to rebuild and seal the tooth.

This bonded approach helps protect the remaining tooth, restore normal chewing ability, and prevent further deterioration. Treatment is typically completed in a single visit using modern techniques designed to ensure comfort, durability, and long-term oral health.

When a tooth has moderate damage or decay that is too extensive for a filling but does not require a full crown, a ceramic inlay can provide a strong and aesthetic solution. Custom-made to fit precisely within the tooth, the inlay is bonded securely in place to restore strength and function. Ceramic materials are carefully selected to blend naturally with your smile while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

Ceramic onlays are used when a larger portion of a tooth needs reinforcement, often covering one or more of the tooth’s cusps. Sometimes referred to as a “partial crown,” this restoration provides additional protection while remaining more conservative than a full crown. Each onlay is custom designed to restore strength, improve function, and maintain a natural appearance.

For teeth with significant wear or structural compromise, ceramic overlays provide comprehensive coverage of the biting surface. This approach strengthens and protects the tooth while preserving healthy structure wherever possible. Overlays are carefully crafted to restore comfortable chewing function

All-ceramic or porcelain crowns provide a highly aesthetic, metal-free option for restoring damaged teeth. Designed to mimic the translucency and colour of natural enamel, they are ideal for areas where appearance is especially important. These crowns combine beauty and durability for a natural-looking, long-lasting result.

Zirconia crowns are known for their exceptional strength and durability, making them well suited to areas of high biting pressure. Modern zirconia materials also offer improved aesthetics, allowing us to achieve both resilience and a natural appearance in one restoration.

Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a replacement tooth to neighbouring teeth. Traditional bridges use crowns for support, cantilever bridges are supported on one side only in carefully selected cases, and Maryland bridges use bonded wings for a more conservative approach. Each option is designed to restore function, stability, and confidence in your smile.

An implant crown replaces a single missing tooth by attaching a custom-made crown to a dental implant placed in the jawbone. This solution restores appearance and chewing function without affecting neighbouring teeth. Implant crowns are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth while helping maintain bone support.

For patients missing multiple teeth, implant-supported bridges provide a stable and long-term solution. Rather than relying on natural teeth for support, the bridge is secured to dental implants. This approach improves strength, comfort, and bone preservation while restoring a complete smile.

Partial dentures are removable appliances used to replace several missing teeth. They are custom-designed to fit comfortably and restore both appearance and function. Modern materials allow for improved aesthetics and a more natural feel.

Complete dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower arch. They are carefully crafted to restore facial support, speech, and chewing ability. We focus on achieving a comfortable fit and natural appearance while supporting you through the adjustment process.

Immediate dentures are placed on the same day teeth are removed, allowing you to maintain your smile during healing. As your gums settle, adjustments or relines may be recommended to ensure ongoing comfort and stability.

When the bite is worn, uneven, or unstable, occlusal reconstruction focuses on restoring harmony between the teeth, muscles, and jaw joints. By carefully planning and rebuilding the bite, we aim to improve comfort, protect teeth from further damage, and create a stable, long-term result.

Excessive tooth wear can result from grinding, erosion, or ageing. Management may involve protective appliances, bonding, overlays, or crowns depending on the severity. Our approach is personalised and staged where necessary, aiming to restore strength and function while preserving remaining tooth structure.

When a tooth has undergone root canal treatment and has limited remaining structure, a post and core build-up may be required before placing a crown. A small post is placed within the root for reinforcement, and the tooth is rebuilt to provide a stable foundation. This allows the final crown to be securely supported and long-lasting.
