When teeth are lost due to tooth decay and gum disease they occasionally have to be removed, this can result in problems with eating and function not to mention the aesthetic aspect of missing teeth.
Titanium based implants are fast becoming the ideal solution to replacing missing teeth. They are placed in the jaw to support a crown which aims to replicate the normal function and appearance of a natural tooth.

Replacing silver (amalgam) fillings might be considered for several reasons:
1. *Decay or Damage*: Over time, amalgam fillings can crack, wear down, or develop gaps between the filling and the tooth, leading to new decay.
2. *Crack Prevention*: Amalgam can expand and contract with temperature changes, potentially causing cracks in the tooth.
3. *Aesthetics*: Amalgam fillings are silver-colored and can darken over time, making them more noticeable, especially in visible areas of the mouth.
4. *Health Concerns*: Some patients are concerned about the mercury content in amalgam fillings, although the American Dental Association (ADA) and other health organizations consider them safe.
Teeth whitening can be a good solution for certain types of tooth staining.
Teeth can be stained by foods, drinks, smoking and certain medications. Teeth whitening is a safe procedure that can lighten the colour of your teeth by using a safe dental bleaching agent. Individual results vary and are based on your initial tooth colour, the nature of your tooth staining as well as your own aftercare.
Home Whitening: Here we fabricate and custom-make a lightweight plastic mouth tray for you that fits snugly over your teeth. You then put a whitening gel inside the tray and wear it at night or for a few hours during the day. Results are normally seen over 2/3 weeks and your teeth will appear whiter and brighter.
Please note, a consultation with a dentist is
required to prescribe tooth whitening treatments.
