Root Canal Treatment

If a tooth is cracked, excessively worn or if decay extends into the nerve of; it can cause the nerve to get infected or inflamed. Signs of nerve damage can include pain, prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold stimulus, swellings and discolouration of the tooth.

Root canal treatment involves removal of the infected or inflamed nerve. A root canal treated tooth can function normally and be maintained with routine dental care and oral hygiene measures.

Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any queries and we look forward to being of service to you.

Dentures

A denture is a removable prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Commonly referred to as ‘false teeth’, a denture is usually made of acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal. A partial denture is fitted to replace some missing teeth whilst a complete denture is indicated when all natural teeth are missing. A good set of dentures helps you to eat, speak, function and improves a person’s appearance.

Fillings

Your dentist may recommend replacing part of a tooth that has been lost through decay or wear and tear. Fillings are made from a number of materials and your dentist will discuss all your options with you before starting treatment.
