Porcelain Veneers:

Porcelain VeneersPorcelain Veneers are thin sheets of porcelain, which are bonded on front teeth to improve the aesthetics of stained or misarranged teeth. Teeth are slightly modified and an impression is taken. This impression is sent to a lab (similar to crowns and bridges) and the porcelain veneers are fabricated and bonded in place.

CEREC - Inlays/Onlays/Crowns

CERECLast year, we invested in CEREC, computer generated in-office ceramic restorations technology. This produces ‘state of the art’ natural looking ceramic fillings and crowns in one visit without the need for impressions and temporary fillings.

CEREC also helps to preserve as much of the natural tooth tissue as possible and to deploy durable and biocompatible materials.

The CEREC concept provides the ideal solution for restoring teeth. CEREC restorations have proved themselves in practice for more than a decade and their long-term durability has been borne out by scientific follow-up studies of around 1,000 individual cases.

Extractions (Tooth removal):
  • In some teeth which have extensive decay or have broken or cracked in such an extreme manner, extraction may be considered the best, or at least a reasonable, solution.
  • Also in situations where significant bone damage has occurred as a result of periodontal (gum) disease and a tooth has become excessively mobile, extraction of the tooth may be the only option.
  • Teeth which are malpositioned, such as wisdom teeth, may be candidates for extraction. Also, in some cases, teeth may need to be extracted due to their position for orthodontic reasons.
  • In most cases, the removal of teeth is uneventful and can be completed in our office.

  • In most cases when a tooth becomes infected or extensively decayed, root canal therapy can save the tooth from being lost.
  • Most root canal procedures are completed in one or two appointments depending on the condition of the tooth.
