- Tooth Extractions
Teeth which are decayed, fractured, chipped, discolored or have gaps can be restored using the latest materials available which closely replicate the lost tooth part and match the adjacent natural tooth.
A filling replaces part of a tooth that has been lost because of decay or accidental damage. All fillings are tooth coloured , carefully selected to match the original shade and shape of the tooth.
A filling will normally be carried out under local anaesthetic. The affected area will be cleared of decay or loose filling, the tooth will be washed and dryed. Then the filling will be inserted and smoothed off before a bright light is applied to set the filling. The filling will then be trimmed off and polished.
Why Tooth Extractions?
Dental Decay or Damage:
Tooth decay, trauma, or extensive damage to a tooth may compromise its structural integrity. In such cases, extraction may be recommended to prevent the spread of infection and protect the surrounding teeth.
Wisdom Teeth Issues :
Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can cause discomfort, pain, and potential oral health problems. Extracting problematic wisdom teeth can alleviate these issues and prevent complications.
Orthodontic Treatment:
In some orthodontic cases, removing a tooth may be necessary to create space for proper alignment and achieve the desired results in braces or other orthodontic treatments.
Periodontal Disease:
Advanced gum disease can lead to loose teeth that may need to be extracted to preserve the health of the surrounding tissues and prevent further damage.
