    Our Services
        
                  Dentistry in our practice is a pleasant, pampering experience. When you are in our care, you are the  
                  most important person. From our initial consultation to the dental procedure, we promise to make 
                  your teeth look their best. These are a selection of the services we offer to help you do this:
                 
                  Bonding   ·   Bridges   ·   Crown-Onlays   ·   Natural Fillings   ·   Teeth Whitening   ·   Veneers
 
                  Bonding
                  When teeth are chipped, cracked, uneven, or discoloured, "bonding" can be used to change the colour,
                  shape or the size of your teeth.
                  Bonding, a tooth coloured resin is placed on the tooth and permanently hardened and fused to the tooth
                  with a hand held white light gun. This is an effective procedure for small cavities and broken or chipped 
                  surfaces. For some individuals, bonding is a long-lasting and cost-effective procedure for closing small 
                  gaps between the teeth or changing the outside surface of the tooth. However, for those individuals
                  looking for greater aesthetic results or durability - porcelain laminate veneers are a natural and long
                  lasting alternative
 
                  Bridges
                  Losing a tooth can be quite traumatic. You may be unhappy with the appearance of your teeth or have                  
                  trouble chewing your food. A bridge is a non-removable replacement for these missing teeth that can be
                  the perfect solution to these concerns. It is a natural looking false tooth that is fused between two                   
                  porcelain crowns and fits into the empty space. These crowns are cemented onto the teeth on either side
                  of the missing tooth.
                  Bridges can provide a safeguard against tooth and gum disease and the collapse of facial features brought 
                  on by missing teeth.
 
                  Porcelain Crown-Onlays
                  Porcelain crowns and onlays are used when you have a substantial part of your tooth missing or in 
                  decay. These teeth are best restored by a means that reinforces the strength of the tooth. Traditional 

                  dental crowns were always made with a metal foundation. With recent technological advances,
                  porcelain crowns and onlays can be made of pure ceramic or reinforced resin, a durable and 
                  natural looking alternative.
                  Both onlay restorations, which cover a portion of the tooth and crowns, which cover all the tooth are
                  bonded to the healthy structure of the tooth. This type of restoration can be x-rayed, so future                          
                  problems can be detected long before it is too late and a root canal is necessary.              
                  There are still occasions when the durability of porcelain fused to metal or a full gold crown make it                   
                  the restoration of choice. 
                    
                  Natural Fillings
                  Natural tooth-coloured fillings are referred to as resin, composite, bonding or white fillings. These fillings
                  are usually stronger and more durable than silver amalgam fillings as they are bonded to your teeth.
                  Aesthetically, they are an attractive alternative to mercury fillings that blacken with age. These natural 
                  fillings look like your teeth and are an easy way to improve your smile.
 
                  Veneers
                  Porcelain veneers are like "custom made artificial fingernails" that are placed over your front teeth. They   
                  are used to improve a wide variety of cosmetic dental problems from gaps, chips to discoloured 
                  teeth. A thin layer of the tooth enamel is removed and impressions are made of the teeth. While the  
                  porcelain veneers are being made, temporary veneers are placed over the front teeth. This process 
                  not only improves the aesthetic appearance of your teeth, but their strength and  durability.
