We offer a full range of general dental treatments including extractions, dentures and many more.
Fillings are one of the most basic methods of restoring teeth. They do exactly what their name suggests - they fill a hole in the tooth that has been caused by decay, playing an important role in helping us to keep a tooth for many more years.
In the past fillings were always made from either gold or a silver-coloured alloy called amalgam. Both these materials are extremely durable and in some circumstances they are still the best choice available. But they both have one disadvantage – they do not match the natural white teeth in appearance.
At Brentwood Orthodontic & Implant Centre, we use the most effective, modern, tooth-coloured materials to enable you to have white fillings. Unlike the more traditional grey amalgam fillings, the tooth-coloured ones look very natural, so no-one will be able to tell you have them.
Inlays and onlays are two types of restorations used if you have a cavity in your tooth that needs to be filled. An inlay is a small filling that fits into the biting surface of a tooth while an onlay covers a larger area of the tooth and is better suited to bigger cavities.
Inlays and onlays are usually made from a tooth-coloured porcelain and can be made in a dental laboratory by a technician, with the help of impressions taken of your teeth. While these are being made, we will fit a temporary filling. When your inlay or onlay is ready we will remove the temporary filling and glue the inlay or inlay into place using a special adhesive.
A dental crown is a type of dental restoration used to fix teeth that have been broken, weakened by decay or have a very large filling. The crown fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. It will also be tooth coloured, giving the restoration a more natural appearance so it fits in with the rest of your teeth.
How long a crown lasts depends on how well it is looked after. It is important to keep this area just as clean as you would your natural teeth in order to prevent decay affecting the crown.
A dental bridge is used to fill the space where a tooth was removed or had fallen out. It is a false tooth that is held in place by being attached to the teeth next to it, like a bridge. The dental bridge helps to preserves the integrity of your existing teeth by preventing the shifting of teeth and jaw issues. It is recommended that a patient waits three months after a tooth is extracted before placing a bridge.
The procedure consists of several visits. Primarily, the tooth is usually reduced in size to fit the crown. Then, an impression is taken, from which the dental lab makes the custom crown. Finally, the crown is permanently cemented in place.
Dental bridges ensure your smile remains healthy and attractive.
Whether you are missing a few, or many of your teeth then dentures could be the solution for you. A denture is made from hard-wearing material that mimics the look of teeth and gums to give your mouth a natural appearance. At Brentwood Orthodontic & Implant Centre, we provide excellent bespoke dentures that are constructed using the latest modern techniques and materials. Our dentures are created by our own clinical denture technician.
Dentures fitted by Brentwood Orthodontic & Implant Centre are designed to restore your lip support, therefore avoiding that ‘sunken face’ look that can appear following the loss of your teeth. You will be able to remove your dentures for cleaning, and our hygienist can show you how to best take care of your denture(s) and gums, as always it is important that you take extra care in your hygiene routine to avoid tooth decay and gum disease.
Restore your smile and make eating enjoyable once again.
Many people have teeth removed at some time in their lives. Should you need a tooth removed, we will make this as comfortable as possible for you.
Our dentists are highly skilled in these procedures and have many years’ experience so you can rest assured you are in very safe hands.
Root Canal treatments (Endodontics) are carried out when the inside of the tooth (the root or pulp) becomes infected or damaged. Infection and damage to the root can be very painful, creating inflammation with the risk of severe pain and swelling.
Root Canal Treatment eliminates the cause of the pain by completely removing the diseased or damaged tissue from the tooth. The root canal is meticulously cleaned, shaped and decontaminated, before securely filling it back up with a durable, inert material.
This means you can be pain free whilst still keeping your original tooth.
At Brentwood Orthodontic & Implant Centre we offer a range of dental hygiene services that will help keep your teeth sparkling and your gums healthy. Our experienced dental hygienist will also show you how to maintain a healthy mouth between appointments.
Our specialist Orthodontic and Implant treatments are competitively priced and we also offer a range of payment plans, helping you to spread the cost of treatment
