Crowns and Bridges
A crown caps a weakened or root-treated tooth to restore its shape and strength; a bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring onto the teeth beside the gap. Both typically take two visits.
Dentures
Removable replacements for missing teeth — full or partial — made of acrylic or metal-framed cobalt-chromium. Fitting takes several appointments, with adjustments as you adapt.
Extractions
Removal of teeth that cannot be saved due to decay, gum disease, fracture or crowding, done under local anaesthesia. Replacement options are discussed before any extraction.
Fillings
Repairs teeth damaged by decay, chips or wear: the damaged portion is removed and the tooth is rebuilt with tooth-coloured filling material, usually in a single visit.
Retainers
Custom appliances worn after braces or aligner treatment to hold teeth in their corrected positions — removable clear or Hawley retainers, or a fixed wire behind the teeth.
