Do
you need a solution for your missing teeth? Did you know that the
loss of just one tooth has a "domino effect" not just
from each side of the missing tooth, but also top or bottom. So,
before you enter the inevitable cycle of losing even more teeth,
why not restore the natural function of your mouth with fixed prosthetics
(crowns and bridges)?

Sometimes,
a tooth is so badly damaged that a crown is the treatment of choice
in order to save a tooth. A crown is made which fits over the top
of the remaining part of the tooth. If the crown is well made, no
one should be able to tell the difference between the crown and
your real teeth.
Sometimes, it is impossible
to save any tooth structure, and there is a gap of one or more teeth,
or maybe several teeth in close proximity that are missing. In these
cases a bridge can be constructed. The bridge is anchored to the
surrounding tooth on each side of the missing tooth (teeth) and
in this way the gap is closed (or bridged).

A great deal
of skill is required to create the aesthetic qualities of the restorative
work, so that the difference cannot be detected by others. Dr
Wells relies heavily on the quality of the laboratory work that
goes into making the fixed prosthetics, as well as the quality of
the materials used. We have chosen our dental laboratories carefully,
to ensure that you get the very best dentistry that is available.
There is
a huge difference in costing for the different materials and laboratory
used. Dr Wells will assist you in making the decision that best
suits both your needs and your wants. The laboratories used by Simply
Beautiful Smiles produce work of a very high standard, whilst
maintaining strict infection control protocol for your safety.
Advances
in porcelain technology have made beautiful, life-like tooth artistry
available like never before. This new generation of revolutionary
systems in aesthetic dentistry, allow for beautifully aesthetic
full porcelain restorations and full porcelain crowns like never
before. These systems include IPS Empress™, Procera™,
Zirconia and Cergo™. Dr Wells will choose which material best
suits your wants and needs.
