A dental Implant is a Titanium post which is implanted in the jaw bone when a tooth is missing.

This is a surgical procedure, which is carried out under local anaesthetic and takes approximately one hour.

A bridge is required when a tooth has had to be removed and there is no foundation left.

A bridge is formed to the teeth on either side with a new tooth is formed between. This can be either by crowns on the supporting teeth, or metal wings.

A crown completely covers a weak tooth above the gum line and protects it.

Crowns are made of gold, or porcelain with metal inside for strength, and appearance of a perfect tooth. You will normally be given a local anaesthetic to numb the area then shape the tooth so that with the crown will be the same shape as a normal tooth.

The Inman Aligner is the perfect solution for crowding or protrusion of the front teeth.

It is really efficient and excellent value as in most cases just one appliance is needed. The Inman Aligner is also really safe and kind to teeth.

An impression is taken of the teeth and a mould or gumshield is produced.

The patient then puts a bleaching gel in the mould and applies this to the teeth and retains it in place for a period at home during which the teeth are whitened.

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.

Sometimes a natural colour ‘composite’ material is used instead of porcelain.
