Yes! Understanding you're traveling from Sleaford, we can often plan multiple restorations strategically, preparing several teeth in one comprehensive appointment where appropriate. We schedule efficiently to minimize trips while maintaining quality standards. Extended appointments are available, and we'll coordinate with our laboratory to synchronize timing for multiple crowns or bridges.

Inlays fit within the tooth cusps (like a filling), onlays cover one or more cusps, and crowns cover the entire visible tooth. At our Stamford practice, we'll recommend the most conservative option that provides adequate protection. For moderately damaged teeth, inlays and onlays preserve more natural tooth structure than crowns. We'll explain which option suits your specific situation best.

Yes, if you're experiencing a dental emergency in Sleaford such as a broken crown, lost filling, or cracked tooth causing pain, call us immediately at 01780 755005. We'll fit you in as quickly as possible for emergency care. We can often provide same-day temporary restorations or solutions to relieve pain and protect the tooth until permanent restoration.

Natural appearance is our priority for all Sleaford patients. We carefully match shade, translucency, and surface texture using professional shade guides and lighting assessment. We work with skilled ceramists who hand-craft restorations individually. For front teeth, we may photograph your smile for laboratory reference. Our goal is restorations so natural that colleagues and friends don't realize you've had dental work.

We offer both NHS (where applicable) and private restorative treatments. NHS provides essential restorations under Bands 2 and 3 (approximately £73 and £282). Private treatment offers premium materials, more aesthetic options, and scheduling flexibility. We provide detailed written quotes before treatment and can discuss payment plans to spread costs. Our Sleaford patients appreciate the transparent approach to pricing.
