Sometimes dental conditions arise that require immediate treatment from your dentist. Whether this is due to a missing tooth, gum disease or another dental problem our friendly team can help. At Regency House Dental Practice we offer a full range of general dental treatments including extractions, dentures and many more.
Fillings have commonly been made from either gold or a silver-coloured alloy called amalgam. These materials are extremely durable, however, the main disadvantage is that they don’t match the natural white colour of teeth in appearance.
At Regency House Dental Practice we offer white fillings, also known as composite fillings. These are made from a tooth-coloured material that provides the same benefits of amalgam fillings whilst restoring the appearance of a previously filled tooth, giving your teeth a more natural look.
Using composite is a completely safe procedure and can be used for new fillings or to replace any old metal fillings you may have to give your teeth a more natural overall appearance.
A dental crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’ and is an artificial tooth that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it a natural tooth shape.
Dental crowns can address aesthetic needs, restore tooth function and enhance the overall health of your mouth. Dental crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been damaged or weakened by decay or a very large filling. They can be made of porcelain or gold or a combination of these materials.
A dental crown could be used for a number of other reasons; you may have discoloured fillings and would like to improve the appearance of the tooth, you may have had a root filling which will need a crown to protect it or a crown may help hold a bridge or denture firmly in place.
A dental bridge is a permanent fixture comprising of one or more false teeth and is used to fill the gap after the natural tooth has been lost through injury or extraction.
If left untreated, gaps in your teeth can lead to increased stress on your other teeth and affect the way you bite and chew. A dental bridge is a simple and effective way to get a fixed replacement for missing teeth.
Well-made dentures will restore the facial contours around your mouth and allow you to eat almost all foods without embarrassment. It is also worth considering dental implants alongside dentures, very often any movement of a denture can be prevented by the placement of a couple of implants to “lock” the denture into position. Dentures last for many years, but they and your mouth should be checked once a year.
Dentures remain a cost effective method of replacing missing teeth providing a reliable biting and chewing function and acceptable appearance. The main disadvantages with the dentures is that they can be uncomfortable and the bone in the jaw surrounding the missing tooth or teeth continues to recede.
It may be necessary to remove a tooth because of disease, trauma or crowding.
Here at Regency House Dental Practice we will do everything we can to make you as comfortable as possible during the procedure. After the extraction, it is important that you follow the advice given by your dentist to ensure the area heals as quickly as possible.
Prevention is at the heart of everything we do at Regency House Dental Practice. Our hygienists play a very important role within our team. They are mainly concerned with preventative dental health and treating gum disease, showing you correct ways to look after your teeth at home.
