Restorative Dentistry
Do you hide your smile embarrassed by misshapen, heavily filled,
broken, crooked or even missing teeth?
Don't let your smile hold you back any longer. At Woodlands
Dental we provide a host of state of the art restorative
dentistry procedures, all designed to treat these types of dental
problems. We can restore damaged teeth using crowns or dental
bonding. Missing teeth can be replaced using dental implants or
bridges.
We use all the latest techniques and technology so we can
provide the very best treatment for you. Our talented dental team
will assess the most appropriate and effective method to suit your
individual need.
Veneers
Veneers are wafer-thin lamintates or shells of tooth-coloured
material (which can be either porcelain or composite bonding
material). They are "cemented" to the front surface of teeth to
improve their cosmetic appearance.
Dental veneers have long been used to create the ultimate smile
makeover. With this treatment, it's possible to transform crooked,
stained, damaged or badly worn teeth into a brand new, straight,
white smile.
Crowns
Crowns are restorations that protect damaged, cracked or broken
down teeth. A crown strengthens your existing, damaged tooth so as
to preserve its functionality.
Dental crowns are also commonly known as caps (because a crown
sits over your existing tooth, covering the entire outer
surface).
Bridges
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more
missing teeth. They are false teeth, known as a pontics, which are
fused between porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by missing
teeth. A bridge is usually used where there are fewer teeth to
replace, or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the
mouth. They can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a
combination of these materials and are supported by natural teeth
or implants.
Bridges can reduce your risk of gum disease, help correct some
bite issues, prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
and even improve your speech. Bridges require your commitment to
serious oral hygiene, but will last as many as ten years or
more.
Tooth-coloured Fillings
"White "or tooth-coloured fillings are made from composite or
porcelain.
White fillings allow us to restore decayed or broken portions of
teeth almost invisibly and are now becoming a more popular
alternative to amalgam (silver and mercury) fillings. They are
tooth coloured and are made of composite resin. Bonded directly to
teeth they are suitable for use in front and back teeth.
Placing 'composite' fillings is very technique sensitive but our
dentists have travelled the world to learn advanced techniques and
use the very best materials to achieve 'invisible'
restorations.
