Amalgam to composite
Amalgam fillings in the lower jaw can often be seen when we talk or laugh.

But amalgam fillings can also sometimes be seen in the upper jaw.

These can be unsightly and can also discolour the tooth.

Composite (White) fillings are available to improve this.
Barrier Whitening
Before applying tooth whitening gel the gums need to be protected.
~
A protective barrier is applied and hardened using a bright light.

The whitening gel is then applied and activated using a bright light.

The gel will stay on the teeth for some time.
This is then washed away and the barrier removed.
Leaving bright, white teeth.

Bonded Crown
The damaged tooth is prepared.

A crown with a metal base and porcelain coating is made.

The crown is fixed in place.

Under certain lighting, the metal base can sometimes be seen.

Cosmetic contouring with face
Chipped and irregular teeth can spoil the 'smile line'
Small corrections to the length and shape of each tooth can make a big difference.
The changes can be made easily and quickly

Crown margin
Over time the gum can recede away from the crown this is known as the crown margin.

The old crown can be removed and a new, deeper crown fitted to cover this area.
Disatemas
A gap in the front teeth (Diastema) can appear unsightly.

Tubes are placed over the two teeth and filled with Composite material.

This builds up the teeth, closing the gap.
The material is hardened with a bright light.

   
Veneers
Discoloured, chipped or cracked teeth can benefit from a veneer.

A thin layer of the tooth surface is shaved off.

A veneer is made to fit perfectly, protecting the tooth underneath.
