 Porcelain Veneers are thin tooth coloured porcelain shells that are carefully crafted to cover the front of unsightly teeth. They are a more conservative treatment than a crown and can often be used as an alternative if the underlying tooth is strong and healthy. Veneers are often used for cosmetic concerns on the front anterior teeth.

 Root canal therapy also known as Endodontics involves treating the nerves inside teeth. Unfortunately, deep decay or trauma may result in a nerve dying in a tooth. Which is often a very painful experience. When this occurs there are 2 options, either remove the tooth or preform root canal treatment. Many millions of teeth each year are saved from extraction by having root canal treatment. All general dental practitioners are trained to perform root canal treatment however the difficult cases may be referred to a Root Canal specialist called an Endodontist.

We have Relative Analgesia (Happy Gas) available to our patients, particularly those with mild to moderate anxiety or worries. The gas can be used on the young to old patients and can make a visit to the dentist a very pleasant experience. This does require the necessary consultation with the dentist before undergoing any treatment using the gas. 

General Anaesthetic is an anaesthetic that affects the whole body and usually causes a loss of consciousness. Our dentists are more than qualified to undergo this type of procedure.

Please note that this sort of treatment is not done at Lady Bay Dental Clinic but is completed by one of our dentist’s at the local hospital and does involve necessary consultation and paperwork before this form of treatment can be completed.

An artificial crown or ‘cap’ is often the best way to save a tooth and strengthen it. It fits over the prepared existing tooth and replaces the natural crown. It is permanently fixed for long-term function and is generally made from porcelain to suit your natural tooth colour.

Crowns also play a vital role in sealing and protecting teeth that have undergone root canal therapy as they become very weak with such extensive work and the crown is used to strengthen it.

 For stained teeth or discoloured teeth, bleaching can lighten and whiten your teeth. Bleaching is a safe procure to undergo when instructed by a qualified dentist. 

Bridges can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of an ‘artificial’ tooth anchored to the adjacent natural teeth. If a tooth is lost through an ‘accident’ or is too badly decayed to save with a crown, a bridge may be the treatment of choice. Bridges are often made of porcelain and metal alloy. Porcelain is strong and can be made to match the colour of natural teeth.
