Veneers are thin layers of porcelain or composite resin fixed onto the surface of your teeth. They can hide all kinds of imperfections including crooked teeth, discolouration, gaps and chips. Durable and natural-looking, they make a great choice for teeth reconstruction.

Bridges are an effective way to replace missing teeth, especially if you don’t have the bone necessary for a dental implant. They are made up of an artificial tooth or teeth fixed to your natural teeth on either side of the gap with either a crown or wings.

Dentures are removable artificial teeth attached to a plastic base, which fit into your mouth, sometimes with metal clasps. They can be partial or complete, depending on how many teeth they replace. Dentures are suitable for nearly everyone and are an affordable way to replace missing teeth.

Bone augmentation is an essential step to fitting a dental implant if you don’t have enough natural bone in your jaw. In bone augmentation, blocks of your own bone from elsewhere in your body are placed in the jaw. The surrounding bone triggers the growth of cells around the area, thus creating new bone. Over time, enough new bone will have grown to hold an implant in place.

Implants replace missing teeth permanently. It consists of an artificial root, which often takes the form of a screw-like structure, which is ‘implanted’ into your jawbone. Implants are a secure and natural-looking solution for people of all ages, as long as they have enough bone in the jaw or undergo bone augmentation.

Crowns are an excellent option for tooth replacement if your tooth is damaged too much for a filling or is weak or broken. A crown is essentially a natural-looking and customised cap that fits over your damaged tooth.

Osseointegration is part of the process of fitting dental implants. When the implant is fitted into your jawbone, bone cells are attracted and attach themselves over three to six months. This secures the implant firmly in place.
