Dental Treatments

Root canal treatment (endodontics) is a dental procedure used to treat infection at the centre of a tooth.

Root canal treatment is not painful and can save a tooth that might otherwise have to be removed completely.

Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jaw to restore a person’s ability to chew or their appearance.

They provide support for artificial (fake) teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Cosmetic dentistry is the branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of your smile.

Common cosmetic dental treatments include teeth whitening, dental bonding and veneers.

Teeth whitening involves bleaching your teeth to lighten the colour of the enamel. The main ingredients used in tooth whitening products are the chemicals hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide.

The chemicals usually come in a gel, which is applied to your teeth. Sometimes a light is used too.

A dental crown is a cap or covering for an existing tooth. It can improve the way a decayed or broken tooth looks and make it stronger.

Crowns can be made from porcelain, zirconia, gold alloy or a combination of porcelain and metal.

Fillings are used to repair a cavity in your tooth caused by decay. Your dentist will offer you the type of filling they consider clinically necessary.

The most common type of filling is dental amalgam, made from a mixture of different metals.
