Common Dental Treatments

Veneers

A veneer is a thin layer of Porcelain made to fit over the front surface of a tooth, like a false fingernail fits over a nail. Veneers can be a great solution to improve colour or shape, repair a broken tooth, or filling gaps when orthodontics (braces) are not suitable. A precise shade of porcelain can be chosen for the perfect colour. Multiple veneers can be used, often as a set to lighten the front teeth.

Crowns

A crown is simply an artificial restoration that snugly fits over the remaining part of a broken-down tooth offering support and a cosmetic improvement to the look or contour of teeth. They are sometimes called a cap.

So, if you have been unlucky enough to have lost part of a tooth or suffered weakening of a tooth from decay or a large filling, a crown may be the perfect answer.

Bridges

If you have a missing tooth, dental bridges may be a very good solution for you. They are made from colour matched porcelain and are fitted in a similar manner to dental crowns.

Dental surgeons at the Sandford will discuss all your options and help you decide whether a dental bridge is the best solution for you.

Dentures

We understand how losing even a single tooth can have a big impact upon your self-esteem. A denture is one of several ways to replace missing teeth. When you come to see us, we will explain the different types available, and help you choose the best possible solution for you.

Implant Supported Dentures - Say goodbye to denture adhesives, sore spots and embarrassing moments with implant supported dentures. Dental implants from The Sandford will hold your dentures comfortably and firmly in place.

White Fillings

Our aim at The Sandford is to do whatever we can to maintain a natural looking smile. White fillings are mercury-free and made from composite resin, available in a wide range of shades to match your natural tooth colour.

So, if you are looking for a high aesthetic and a beautiful natural look, then this may be the perfect option for you.

Surgical Tooth Removal

Whether you need the removal of a difficult wisdom tooth or a heavily broken-down tooth, here at The Sandford, our highly skilled team will put you at ease and make your journey as pleasant as possible.

We understand that people of all ages are affected by anxiety when receiving dental treatment. Here at The Sandford it is our priority to make sure your experience is as stress-free as possible. Sedation is available for those with a dental phobia.
