Crowns and Bridges

There are a few different treatment options your dental professional may suggest . These include bridges , crowns and implants.

Crowns

A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth . It is used to strengthen and protect your tooth structure . Crowns are either made of precious metal alone (Gold) or may be covered with ceramic to help them look natural. Alternatively, they can be fully in ceramic.

At MediKa Dental we offer a variety of different Crown materials. Please speak to your dentist to choose a crown material that suits your clinical needs.

Bridges

A dental bridge covers or “bridges” the gap between missing teeth.

After you lost a tooth , your dentist may suggest that you get a bridge . A bridge can keep your other teeth form moving out of place .

Once a bridge is placed , it works just like your natural teeth.

White filling Composite Materials

White composite fillings are made of a mixture of plastic and fine glass particles. Direct fillings are placed by your Dentist using a bright blue light that hardens the Composite material.

Teeth Whitening

Tooth whitening can be a very effective way of lightening the natural colour of your teeth without removing any of the tooth surface . It cannot make a complete change, however, it has shown to lighten the existing shade and brighten your smile.

Dental Hygiene Treatment

Dental hygienists are specially trained to work with the dentist in giving care to patients .
They play an important role in dental health care and are mainly concerned with gum health , showing people correct home care and applying protective materials to the teeth and gums .

Root Canal Treatments

Inside the enamel (hard outer shell of the tooth) , there is a secondary protection layer called dentine . Inside the dentine is a specific area called the pulp or nerve chamber . The pulp chamber contains blood vessels and nerves to provide nutrients for the tooth .

Preventative Treatments

Preventative treatments are designed to prevent dental problems.

Partial and Full Dentures

A denture is designed to fill in the gaps left by one or more missing teeth. It is either a plastic or metal plate with a number of false teeth attached to it.
