Restorative Dentistry Oakham - Rutland's Finest Dental Restorations

Fillings repair small to medium cavities. Crowns are recommended when teeth are too damaged for fillings, have had root canal treatment, or need maximum protection. We'll assess your situation and recommend the best solution for long-term success.

With proper care, dental crowns typically last 10-15 years or more. Longevity depends on materials (we use premium quality), oral hygiene habits, diet, and whether you grind teeth. We'll provide guidance on maximizing your crown's lifespan.

Modern composite fillings are very strong and suitable for most cavities including back teeth. They bond to tooth structure, actually strengthening it. For very large restorations, we'll discuss whether composite, inlay, or crown is best.

Bridges replace missing teeth using custom false teeth anchored to crowns on adjacent teeth. Excellent option when implants aren't suitable, restoring chewing, speech, and smile while preventing tooth shifting.

Absolutely. We use premium materials and skilled technicians to match your natural teeth precisely in color, shape, and translucency. Most people can't distinguish restored teeth from natural ones.

We use effective local anaesthesia ensuring you're numb during treatment. You'll feel pressure but not pain. Mild sensitivity afterward is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

Care for them like natural teeth - brush twice daily, floss carefully around them, attend regular checkups. Avoid biting very hard foods directly. With good care, they'll serve you well for many years.

We offer all-ceramic (most natural-looking), porcelain-fused-to-metal (strong and aesthetic), and zirconia (extremely strong and aesthetic). We'll recommend the best material for your specific tooth and needs.
