Cosmetic Dentistry

For many years, silver fillings or amalgams were used to restore teeth. Advances in composite resin have allowed for tooth-coloured fillings to be bonded to the tooth structure, improving the aesthetic properties of fillings.

Amalgam fillings offer a low-cost and lasting restoration. We provide our patients with the choice between silver and tooth-coloured fillings ensuring you are able to select the solution that works best for you.

CEREC consists of image acquisition electronics and a milling unit, which allows the dentist to create perfectly fitting, aesthetically pleasing ceramic dental restorations in one visit – meaning less time in the chair!

Veneers are thin custom-made ‘shells’ permanently bonded to the front of your teeth. They are usually made of porcelain.

A dental crown, or dental cap as it’s also known, is used when the tooth has been badly damaged or weakened. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped coverings that are placed over the entire damaged or decaying tooth restoring its strength, shape and size. All ceramic crowns have high strength, are bonded to the tooth and look so natural that they are hard to tell apart from the rest of your teeth. Dental crowns can also be used to cover discoloured teeth.

Our crowns are made in New Zealand using high quality materials.

An implant is like an artificial tooth root and is placed into the jawbone where a tooth has been lost.
