Teeth are likely to need treatment at some stage even if it is just a filling here or there. As damaged teeth contribute to a decline in the overall dentition of the mouth this can have a knock-on-effect on the surrounding muscles and the joints, it can even induce neck pain and headaches. Therefore, sometimes there may be a need for more extensive treatment.

Treatments include repairing wear and tear, replacing lost teeth or fitting dentures depending on your requirements. As people are growing older and keeping their teeth longer, wear has become more of a problem for dentists to deal with. The prosthodontist will intervene, as early as possible, to restore the appearance and function of the teeth.

There are a range of treatments to replace teeth, such as implants, bridge work or dentures, and your prosthodontist will ask you to actively participate in choosing the shape and colour of the teeth.

When dentures are required it is vital that they fit well. Badly fitting dentures can adversely affect confidence as well as being painful. The prosthodontist will work to minute detail to ensure a totally secure fit. Techniques are used to make the dentures look as natural as possible, leaving you 100% confident about your appearance and speech.
