About the Business
Contemporary Dental (formerly known as The Contemporary Dental Practice) was established in October 1994 after a two year period of planning and refurbishment of the building. The building has a grade 2 listing and is in a conservation area close to the centre of Exeter.
We have established a reputation as one of the best private practices in the country, with no legacy of the NHS, seeing many people on a referred basis from other practices and colleagues.
Ongoing training and continuous investment in technology has enabled us to provide a variety of services including advanced restorative dentistry, cosmetic work, surgical procedures such as wisdom teeth removal, and particularly implant related work.
Business Services
White Fillings
Tooth coloured fillings have come a long way in the last thirty years. We are now in the “seventh generation” of adhesive dentistry.
All the tooth coloured fillings are adhesively bonded to what remains of the tooth structure and therefore help support what remains. With the range of colour shades we have available to us we can make them pretty well invisible, especially in front teeth.
We can remove old or failing silver coloured fillings and replace them with beautiful tooth-coloured composite fillings.
Crowns
Crowns are used to restore a tooth when it is damaged or unsightly. They can give a dramatic improvement to your smile!
Most crowns on front teeth are made entirely of very hard porcelain, but occasionally they are still made with porcelain bonded on to a thin thimble of metal. These are called bonded crowns, and, unfortunately, if they are not done well, they may show a slight greyness or grey line at the margin next to the gum.
Crowns on back teeth are used where a tooth is heavily filled and needs a stronger restoration.
Your friends should not be able to tell you have crowns – they should look like natural teeth. If you have crowns which don’t match your own teeth – maybe they are the wrong colour, or in a poor position – we can help!
