Cosmetic changes can also improve teeth health and prevent further damage. We can provide a comprehensive treatment plan for replacing teeth that have been damaged or weakened due to trauma, decay or previous surgery. Porcelain crowns fit over your existing teeth, replacing the natural crown, and are often the best way to save and strengthen your teeth. They look great, and are especially suitable for wear and tear, or teeth with large fillings. Bridges can replace missing or damaged teeth with a porcelain tooth, that is fit between two adjacent teeth using a strong ‘bridge’. Whilst the cosmetic improvements of this treatment are obvious, it can also prevent damage to other teeth, shifting of teeth, and improves chewing ability.
