Cosmetic treatments
Cosmetic treatments are designed to improve the appearance
of your teeth, enhancing your smile and your confidence.
We offer a range of cosmetic treatments, some of which
are available to NHS as well as private patients.

Dentures
Today’s dentures are becoming more and more natural
looking and we always aim to match your dentures with
your existing teeth. A denture is simply a plate with
false teeth attached to it, made to fit the unique shape
and size of your mouth so it’ll feel comfortable
and secure. They can be used to replace a few missing
teeth or a complete set.

Crowns
A crown is an artificial tooth used to repair a single
broken or damaged tooth. We offer a range of crowns
including tooth coloured ones for a natural look and
crowns made of ultra-durable materials such as gold,
porcelain or dental composite.

Bridges
Bridges can often be used to replace one or more missing
teeth, in place of a partial denture. Usually, a crown
will be fitted to the teeth either side of the missing
tooth or teeth, with a false tooth or teeth firmly cemented
in the middle. If you’d prefer, you can opt for
a tooth-coloured bridge so it blends in with your existing
teeth or choose one made from gold or a mixture of precious
and non-precious metals.

Veneers
A veneer is a thin layer of tooth coloured material,
such as porcelain, used to ‘smooth over’
a chipped or damaged tooth, especially if the tooth
is at the front of your mouth and you’re self-conscious
about smiling. Once in place, a veneer is permanent
and will blend in seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Best of all, it’s a way of saving a tooth that’s
only cosmetically or slightly damaged.

Tooth whitening
Tooth whitening is a great way to brighten up your smile
or improve the look of stained or discoloured teeth,
and as specialists in cosmetic dentistry we offer a
range of professional whitening treatments. For instance,
you can wear a mouth guard filled with whitening gel
for a few hours each day, until your teeth lighten,
or have light-activated whitening gel applied directly
to your teeth at the practice. We’d be happy to
discuss the options with you anytime.

Restorative treatments
Restorative treatments are used to correct the effects
of dental problems such as tooth decay or gum disease.
We offer a full range of restorative treatments, most
of which are available to NHS and private patients.
Wherever possible, we give our patients the help and
advice they need to prevent oral problems of course.
To find out how to keep your teeth and gums healthy
please feel free to talk to your dentist or our hygienist.

Fillings
If a tooth has been damaged by decay a filling can restore
it to its natural shape and prevent any further damage
being done. Usually, fillings are made of ultra-strong
silver-coloured amalgam but we also offer tooth coloured
fillings for a more flattering smile.

Endodontic treatment
Commonly known as root canal treatment, endodontics
is used to treat a severely decayed or damaged tooth.
Often the blood or nerve supply of the tooth will have
become infected or is at risk of infection so to prevent
you being in pain or losing your tooth we’ll remove
any sign of infection and fill your tooth to stop it
becoming infected again.

Periodontal treatment
Gum disease or periodontal disease is a bacterial gum
infection caused by bacterial plaque or tartar (calcified
plaque). The infection can destroy the fibres and supporting
bone which hold your teeth in place, until they eventually
become loose and may have to be removed. Some types
of gum disease such as gingivitis can be cured, whilst
periodontal disease can be managed by removing plaque
and tartar from teeth and keeping teeth and gums scrupulously
and hygienically clean.
If you have any worries about gum disease
please don’t hesitate to talk to a member of our
team and remember, the best way to treat gum disease
is to prevent it by keeping your teeth free from plaque
and tartar.

Specialist treatment
As a teaching practice for Coventry University we have
access to a wide range of dental specialists and, if
necessary, can refer you to a specialist oral or implant
surgeon, periodontist, orthodontist or endodontist with
many specialist treatments available directly at the
practice. So you can be sure your teeth will always
be in the very safest of hands.
