Tooth repair in Leicester, Leicestershire
At Bright Smiles, we recognise the impact that decayed, broken, or chipped teeth can have on both your oral health and confidence. We offer a range of solutions to repair and restore damaged teeth, taking into consideration the extent of the damage, the affected tooth, and the overall condition of your oral health.
1. Fillings
- For minor cases of decay, breakage, or chipping, chairside repairs can often be achieved with tooth-coloured fillings. These fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution. In some cases, amalgam (silver) fillings may be used when on the rare occasion, it is not possible to use a tooth-coloured material.
2. Crowns and Onlays:
- When a tooth is extensively damaged, cracked, or broken down, a crown or onlay may be recommended to restore and protect the natural tooth. These restorations, also known as caps, cover all surfaces of the tooth. Crowns are custom-made in a dental laboratory, and we offer materials such as ceramic or metal based on your functional and cosmetic requirements.
3. Root Fillings (Root Canal Treatment)
- In cases where a tooth is abscessed, broken down, or causing pain due to nerve involvement, we strive to save the tooth through root canal treatment rather than extraction. This meticulous procedure involves cleaning and sealing the infected tooth canals with a specialized filling material. Following root canal treatment, your dentist may recommend a crown or onlay to protect the tooth from the risk of future fractures.
Our commitment is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible, as we understand the unique benefits of a restored, healthy natural tooth compared to a replacement. We take a personalised approach, discussing treatment options with you, considering your preferences, and ensuring your comfort throughout the process.
If you are experiencing dental issues or have concerns about the health and appearance of your teeth, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. Our experienced team is here to provide comprehensive dental care tailored to your specific needs. Let us help you regain a confident and healthy smile.
