Dentures are the most economical and are a removable appliance.

They are made from either acrylic (pink plastic) or chrome cobalt (metal) and can be used to replace one or multiple teeth.

Crowns are often used on teeth that have been heavily filled or treated by root canal therapy.

They act as a 'cap' and encapsulate the entire tooth to prevent it from splitting apart. If a tooth splits, it may be unsalvageable, which will ultimately lead to extractions.

Bridges are false teeth soldered to crowns on either side of missing teeth.

It means that both adjacent teeth will need to be crowned and therefore, at times, this may not be a very conservative option.

Implants are screwed-in teeth which might take around 6 months to be completed.

We do not carry out implant treatment at our surgery but can refer you to a specialist for such treatment.
