We recommend we see all our patients on an annual basis to review the condition of the mouth and check for early signs of dental disease. Dental Hygiene Many people brush regularly but are unsure how to maintain the best oral health. We offer guidance on how best to clean your teeth and gums with the correct brushes and techniques, and show you any areas you may be missing. Regular dental hygiene appointments are vital for keeping your teeth and gums in optimum condition, protecting you against decay and gum disease. We will always notify you when you are due for recall examinations and hygiene maintenance. Children Dentist The aim is to prevent dental disease rather than treat it at a later date. When appropriate, fluoride applications and fissure sealants (tooth coloured sealants) are applied to biting surfaces of children's teeth to prevent decay. White Fillings Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole). If the decay is not too serious it is removed and the tooth restored with a white (tooth coloured) filling. More about decay detection in our preventive dentistry section. Crowns A crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. Crowns are an ideal restoration for teeth that have been broken, or have been 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, for instance:
There are three main ways to replace missing teeth, fixed bridgework, removable dentures and implant restoration. Fixed bridge work is usually used where there are fewer teeth to replace, or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the mouth. Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base. If the bridge will show, porcelain is then bonded to the base. You should replace missing teeth for a number of reasons. Your appearance is one reason. Another is that the gap left by a missing tooth can mean greater strain is put on the teeth at either side. A gap can also mean your ‘bite’ is affected, because the teeth next to the space can lean into the gap and alter the way the upper and lower teeth bite together. This can then lead to food getting packed into the gap, which causes both decay and gum disease. Dental Dentures Replacing lost or missing teeth has substantial benefits for your health and appearance. A denture replaces the natural teeth and provides support for cheeks and lips. Without this support, sagging facial muscles can make a person appear older and reduce their ability to eat and speak. A Denture is an appliance which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence. A complete denture is one that replaces all of the natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaws. A partial denture fills in the spaces created by lost or missing teeth and is attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments. The base of a denture is called a plate and can be made of either acrylic resin (plastic) or metal. The teeth are normally made of acrylic resin and can be made to match your natural teeth. This is especially important in the case of partial dentures. Dental Implants Dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth. A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth. sometimes the implant can be placed at the same time as removal of the tooth all on the same day. If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface it can be screwed into position and if it does not, it is usually tapped into place. The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface. To support replacement teeth, dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted. Once fitted, these components provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures. Click here for illustrated information. Porcelain Veneers If your front teeth are stained, chipped, or malaligned, veneers will give you a good life-like appearance with minimum tooth adjustment. A veneer is a porcelain facing on the front of your teeth usually your top teeth, it is just like a false finger nail. Veneers are made out of porcelain and are used mainly for aesthetic reasons. Veneers make teeth look natural and healthy, and because they are very thin and are held in place by a special strong bond (rather like super-glue) very little preparation of the tooth is needed. Porcelain veneers can improve the colour, shape and position of teeth. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen to give the right colour to improve a single discoloured or stained tooth or to lighten front teeth (usually the upper ones) generally. Veneers can also be used to close small gaps, when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable. If one tooth is slightly out of position, a veneer can sometimes be fitted to bring it into line with the others. Teeth Whitening Teeth are stained by the foods and drinks we consume. Smoking further stains teeth and the natural bright, white shade becomes darkened. Teeth whitening is a successful and simple method of lightening the colour of your teeth. The degree of whiteness achieved will vary from patient to patient and with the type of bleaching process chosen. Experience has shown that the best results and those that last the longest are with a home whitening technique. Custom made mouth trays are made from impressions of the mouth. The whitening gel is placed in the tray which is worn for a short period during the day or while sleeping. Results are normally seen over two weeks. Specialist Care To ensure that the best possible advice and treatment is provided, referral to specialist colleagues is sometimes appropriate. Depending on the nature of the problem 38 Devonshire Street works alongside a number of recognized specialist practitioners which he can recommend to you.
