- Tooth Reshaping removes parts of the enamel to improve the appearance
of the tooth. It may be used to correct a small chip, or to alter the length or,
shape of teeth; it can be used to correct crooked or excessively long teeth. The
removed enamel is irreplaceable, and may sometimes expose dentin. This could cause
sensitivity if too much enamel is removed. Therefore this treatment has limited
effectiveness.

- Crowns or caps are made of metal, porcelain or porcelain bonded

- Dental bridges are false teeth, known as pontics, which are fused
between one or two crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The crowns
holding it in place are attached onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth.
This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing
teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable
partial dentures. Bridges can be made of metal,such as gold, all porcelain or porcelain
bonded to metal.

Diagnosis and Treatment
Once you have been fully assessed and a diagnosis has been made we will discuss
treatment options with you and costing for the intended procedures. On our tooth
journey we will now look at the different treatments available. In all procedures
we are looking to maximise health. Wherever possible we will use the most biocompatible
materials that we can. There are always compromises in dentistry due to tooth size,
position or need for extra strength in the restoration. This will be discussed with
you. At any time, please feel free to discuss your preferences with your dentist.
