Crowns are fabricated from ceramic, porcelain or metal in a dental laboratory and require several appointments to be prepared and fitted to your tooth. Crowns can offer the excellent long-term outcomes that you expect. Continue Reading

Bridges, Implants and Dentures

There are several tooth replacement options available depending on your needs. Dentures offer a removable option for replacement of missing teeth and are often appropriate when there are multiple missing teeth.

Occlusal Splints

Many people grind and clench on their teeth when sleeping which can cause wear and tear on the teeth and muscle and joint discomfort. There are many reasons why this can occur and we individually assess every patient for this problem. In some cases it may be recommended that you wear a splint over your teeth at night to prevent damage to your teeth when you are sleeping.

Some oral health problems can require more complex treatments, which utilise specialised skills and equipment. In order to reduce the costs for you we endeavour to manage many problems within our clinic. However, if we feel that your oral health requires a dental or medical specialist we will discuss referral options with you. Situations that could require a specialist referral include orthodontics, advanced gum disease, complex root canal treatments and implants.
