Experiencing a Toothache?
You can have a toothache if your tooth is badly damaged, affected by severe periodontal diseases, infected, or remains painful after a restorative treatment such as root canal treatment, filling, or crown.
We Prioritise Saving Your Natural Tooth
Extraction is usually the last option. When possible, we recommend a root canal treatment to save the natural tooth, which is better for your overall oral health.
Have Missing Teeth? What Can Be Done?
We offer several effective solutions to restore your smile and function.
Dental Bridges
Dental implants are the most common alternative to dentures. Dental implants stimulate the nerves in your jaw and halt bone loss (just like natural teeth roots do). Your nerves send signals to your brain, and in return, your brain sends nutrients to your jaw, keeping it strong and healthy.
Dental implants are typically more expensive than dentures, but they can last a lifetime with proper care.
Dental Implants
Dental bridges are an effective alternative if you still have several healthy teeth. Bridges work best for people with one to three missing teeth in a row.
A dental bridge consists of crowns (abutments) with artificial teeth (pontics) in between. A dentist bonds the crowns to your natural teeth on either side of the gap, and the artificial teeth fill in the space to complete your smile.
Dentures
A removable solution for missing teeth that can restore your smile and function.
Modern dentures are comfortable, natural-looking, and designed to help you eat and speak with confidence. We offer both partial and full dentures custom-made for your needs.
Tooth Decay or Cavity Treatment
Treatment will require removing the decayed part of the tooth and replacing it with a filling. Fillings are materials placed in teeth to repair damage caused by tooth decay. They are also called restorations.
Direct Restorations
These need a single visit to place a filling directly into a prepared hole. These fillings may be made out of composite resin or fine glass powders. They are often tooth-colored.
Indirect Restorations
These may require 2 or more visits. They include inlays, onlays, veneers, crowns, and bridges. These are constructed with gold, base metal alloys, ceramics, or composites. Many of these materials can look like natural tooth enamel.
Tooth Extraction
A tooth extraction might be necessary if you have dental trauma, damage or decay. Dentists usually recommend extraction when other treatments aren’t enough to save your natural tooth. If you need a tooth pulled, your dentist can discuss replacement options with you.
I have very bad pain/Tooth ache, I want to take my Tooth Out. What can be done?
If your tooth has damage past the point of repair, then removal may be necessary. Your dentist may recommend tooth extraction if you have:
Advanced gum disease
Crowded teeth
Severe tooth decay
Dentists and some dental specialists — like oral and maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists — do tooth extractions. While general dentists do plenty of extractions, more complex cases are usually referred out to specialists.
