Chipped teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Composite\nbonding<\/strong> – a chipped tooth can easily be fixed in a\nsingle and affordable appointment with a composite bonding treatment. The dentist in St. John\u2019s Wood<\/strong> will carefully select a bonding\nmaterial that exactly matched your other teeth and then place it over the\nchipped area of the tooth then shape and sculpt it until it resembles a\nrestored tooth. Once you are happy with the final result, we will then use a\nspecial light to harden the material and your tooth will be fully restored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veneers<\/strong> – for a bigger chip or a tooth that has broken off but still remains\nstructurally sound at the root, we can use a porcelain veneer to cover up the\nwhole tooth. This veneer will be created in house to look exactly like your\nother teeth in size, shape, colour and transparency and will be permanently\nbonded to the broken tooth which may be filed down to size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken or cracked teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crowns<\/strong> – A tooth that has been broken or cracked down the middle but is still\nstrongly connected to the root which is still firmly in place, may be held\ntogether with a special porcelain crown. A crown is sort of like a cap that is\nplaced over the tooth and this is commonly used for molars which have been\ncracked. Once a dentist has ensured that no infection has got into the crack,\nthey will seal it up and place a tooth coloured porcelain crown over top to\nhold it all in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Missing teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bridges<\/strong> – if a tooth has completely come out due to injury or decay and can\nnot be replaced, a dentist in St. John\u2019s Wood<\/strong>\nmay be able to close the gap with a tooth bridge, this is a set of false teeth\nwhich are custom created to fit in your gap. On each side of these teeth are\ncrowns which are secured onto the teeth that exist on each side of the gap,\nthese teeth will need to be filed down slightly in order to snugly fit into the\ncrowns but once the bridge is fixed in place the dental arch will be restored\nonce more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental\nImplants<\/strong> – this requires some major surgery but is the\nbest option for a single or multiple missing teeth as the titanium used in the\nimplant will continue to support the bone structure for the rest of your life.\nA false tooth or bridge of false teeth will be fixed to an abutment which is\nset into the implant thus restoring your smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
