Restorative prosthetics

Dental prosthetics can restore damaged or missing teeth. Crowns, inlays, bridges and removable dentures are selected with supporting tissues, your bite and everyday needs in mind. Planning includes materials, preparation, temporary options and ongoing care. No single type of restoration suits every clinical situation.

These pages explain different areas of dental care. The availability of a particular treatment and any involvement of specialist colleagues are discussed at consultation.

FAQ

There is no wrong question

Zirconia or ceramic: which should I choose?
