About the Business

Torrington Dental Practice was established in 1997 by principal dentist Ian Mills as a single surgery practice offering NHS and private dental care for the population of Great Torrington and the surrounding area.

The growth of the practice was astonishing and in 2003 moved to bigger premises and a partnership was formed between Ian Mills, John Evans and Zena Brenchley.

Further expansion followed, and we are now a six surgery dental practice, providing a wide range of disciplines both privately and through the NHS. The team is led by Ian Mills, Zena Brenchley and Rhys Gabe, the partners of the practice and supported by a skilled team of clinicians, dental nurses and administrative staff.

Crowns

Crowns

A dental crown fits over your natural teeth to protect and secure the remaining part of the tooth. They could be needed when a cavity is so large that a filling will not work, or because a tooth has been weakened significantly by tooth decay. The crown wraps around the whole natural tooth to help secure what remains of it.

Crowns vary in colour. They can be gold, porcelain, ceramic or a mixture of materials. Each of these materials have their own benefits and you should discuss these with your dentist. Crowns are custom made to fit over your teeth exactly. Moulds will need to be taken of your tooth, which is then used to make the crown. This normally takes a couple of weeks and, whilst it is being prepared, you will need to wear a temporary crown.

Once your permanent crown is fitted you can expect it to last for many years but it will require looking after and a proper dental hygiene routine.
