Giving you back your smile
Teeth
Whitening
Discoloured teeth are the bane of tea and coffee drinkers,
red wine buffs and smokers. Don’t despair: a safe
and effective remedy is available. We will be able to
determine whether your teeth are suitable for bleaching
before making a thin bleaching tray that fits comfortably
over your teeth. This is worn with a small amount of
tooth whitening material for 14-21 days or nights. While
you wear the bleaching tray, it gently whitens your
teeth. According to research, whitening is perfectly
safe for teeth and gums. The effect on your teeth is
the same as drinking a can of coke. If you carry on
with the coffee, red wine and smoking, you can re-brighten
your smile by wearing the tray for one or two nights
every six to nine months.

Porcelain
Veneers
Porcelain Veneers are ideal for creating beautiful smiles
in cases of small, oddly shaped, spaced or discoloured
teeth. With this procedure you will be involved directly
in your own design process inreshaping, widening and
brightening your smile, thus ensuring total satisfaction.
Thin skins of porcelain are then bonded to the teeth
enabling normal social and eating activities to resume
immediately. After treatment you will feel excited and
more confident about your beautiful smile.
Porcelain
Crowns
For many years, traditional crowns have been used to
strengthen teeth that are heavily filled, weakened or
darkened due to root canal therepy. Now thanks to new
technology, Porcelain Crowns look better than your own
teeth. This is because the distinctive dark metal line
or “Blue Halo” of old style crowns has been
eliminated. Porcelain Crowns are metal-free and so natural
looking they can be mistaken for real teeth.

Composite
Fillings
Many people have amalgam fillings. These are the silver coloured
metal restorations that were the standard care for many years.
They were effective in their time, but are not aesthetic,
and tend to darken or blacken with time. Today there are tooth
coloured materials which can replace your old metal fillings.
Dental
Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that serves as
a replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth.
The implant is placed in the bone of the upper or lower jaw
and allowed to integrate with the bone. It can then serve
as the base for the new restoration. Implants can replace
one or more teeth and may support a bridge or denture. The
restored implant will look and feel like a natural tooth.
Implant treatment is now a well-established technique with
a success rate of more than 95% over a fifteen year period.
The metal used, Titanium, is well proven for strength and
safety in hip replacement. These are carried out in conjunction
with the Arundel Implant Clinic.
Headaches
& Bite Problems
The lower jaw, the facial muscles and the jaw joints are all
part of a system that is controlled by the brain. Because
we have a detailed understanding of the system, we can detect
specific reasons that cause harmful bite patterns and neck
and head pain. The benefit to you as a client is to have comfortable,
long lasting dentistry. In addition, we can get rid of those
long standing regular headaches.
Gum
Disease
Gum Disease is caused by a build up of the bacteria which
live in the plague and tarter on your teeth. The harmful chemicals
produced by the bacteria irritate your gums causing them to
bleed.
If you don’t remove plaque everyday, you may find that
your gums become swollen and red and that they bleed easily
when you brush your teeth.
