Dentures

A denture is a removable prosthetic substitute for a person's missing natural teeth, these can be partial or complete dentures. Depending on the complexity of each case, the duration of the treatment will vary, it will take several visits, this will include taking impressions of the mouth, bite registration, try-in of dentures, fitting & review.

Veneers

Veneers are used on front or "anterior" teeth to improve appearance. The tooth is prepared by taking away a small amount from the front surface and having porcelain covering cemented on to it. They can transform discoloured, chipped, and slightly crooked teeth.

Bridge Work

A bridge can be used in place of a missing tooth and/or teeth. The missing tooth is replaced by an artificial or "pontic" tooth, which is fused between two crowns and the natural teeth either side are used as anchors, supporting the pontic. They are a more permanent alternative to dentures, as they are not removable. However, they may not be suitable in some circumstances.

Teeth Whitening

This involves applying bleaching gel to the teeth using a thin guard tray worn over night whilst asleep. We will need to take impressions of your mouth and a dental technician will make custom trays specific to you. At your visit we will check that these fit correctly and show you how to apply the bleach in your trays.

Fillings

If you require a filling, here at Whittaker Dental Practice we will always discuss with you what options are available and what material is most suitable to use, you will always be given a quote of what the filling will cost at the time you book your appointment.

Crowns

A crown covers the whole of a tooth. They are usually recommended if a tooth has been damaged, has severe decay or a large filling. The tooth is reduced in size and a "jacket" is made to fit over the outer sides and cemented in to place, preserving the existing tooth. They are made to look like a natural tooth and are matched to the shade of the original teeth.

Hygiene Appointments

A Hygienist’s job is to thoroughly clean your teeth to a professional standard, this is called a scale and polish. They will carefully remove any deposits that may have built up on the teeth, this is known as tartar.

A hygienist does much more than just clean your teeth, they demonstrate how to clean your teeth properly and advise you on how best to keep your teeth free of plaque and slow the progress of gum disease.

Our Hygienist is passionate about educating our patients on oral hygiene so you can smile with confidence. She will discuss ways to prevent dental decay, this may be through dietary advice or recommending other preventative measures like regular visits.

Our Hygienist will work with you and your dentist to provide tailored care to meet your dental needs.
