Dental fillings
Tunbridge Wells Dental Care primarily recommends composite fillings in most cases. These filings are also called white fillings, and you can get a shade that matches your natural tooth for better aesthetics. This is because they require lesser drilling than the traditional metal alternative, and it uses bio-compatible materials which bond quickly with your natural tooth. These white fillings are widely used today because they can last for years.
Inlays and onlays
A tooth that cannot be salvaged with fillings is usually treated with inlays and onlays. Inlays and onlays offer an excellent and less invasive solution to damaged teeth than the alternative, using a dental restoration like a crown. Inlays and onlays are usually made in the lab after the dentist has taken your teeth’ impressions. They are designed to fit precisely with the gap created by the damage. It helps restore the natural function and appearance of your teeth
Root canals
A root canal or endodontic treatment will be recommended if you discovered that the tooth decay had gone deep inside your tooth. It is also a recommended treatment for a broken tooth. This treatment is usually carried out under a local anaesthetic. It usually starts with removing the sensitive art of the tooth called pulp and replacing it with gutta-percha (a rubber-like material) to prevent reinfection. Most times, undergoing a root canal is usually a better option for extracting the tooth. Treating the original tooth will maintain the jaw bone and keep your face from sagging and future dental problems. Modern root canal treatment is a lot better than the old. It uses high tech to provide gentle and pain-free treatment.
Dental crowns
A dental crown works well for people with a cracked tooth, decayed tooth, or a tooth weakened after a root canal procedure. It is a great way to rebuild strength and give your tooth a natural look. Dental crowns are usually made in the lab after the dentist takes the impression of your teeth. It acts as a cap for your natural tooth and gives it a strengthened and healthy restoration.
Dental bridges
A dental bridge is used to cover up for a missing tooth or set of missing teeth as a fixed prosthetic replacement. Its role is to bridge the gap created by the missing tooth. A crown holds each end of the bridge. It has many advantages, including providing bone support, allowing you to eat as you wish, and giving you an aesthetic appearance.
Tooth removal
Tooth removal is usually our last line of action in Tunbridge Wells Dental Care. We only consider this option if we suspect that the other treatments are less likely to work. But before then, we will discuss with you the pros and cons of extracting your tooth. If you agree to go on with the tooth removal, we will have it done by our expert dentist, and you will receive detailed aftercare from us when the procedure is over.
Dentures
People with a few or completely missing teeth will benefit significantly from dentures. They are usually worn on the gums to support the facial structure and play the other functions of a set of teeth. You will remove these dentures for cleaning every night. At Tunbridge Wells Dental Care, we provide lightweight and most comfortable dentures. We also offer implant-retained dentures for people who prefer having fixed dentures to removable ones.
