Dental Implants

Titanium implants are a proven treatment option whenever tooth loss cannot be replaced, using natural supports for a bridge. Under local anaesthetic, a precision titanium screw is inserted into the gum and underlying jawbone tissue. Onto this screw, a post can be fitted, which allows a replacement crown to be cemented.

Crowns / Veneers

There is a trend away from the use of metal-reinforced porcelain crowns on front teeth. For many years the mainstay of restorative reconstruction of broken or badly decayed front teeth, these crowns are now being super ceded by cast all-ceramic crowns and veneers, bringing a new and more predicable vitality to the finished restoration. For more details of "Empress" crowns and veneers, please contact the Practice.
