Horsham Dentists - Carfax Dental Practice
Dentistry today is about more than just filling teeth. It really focuses on prevention and aesthetics. Patients in general have healthier teeth. They want to raise the bar and have better-looking teeth in all respects… that means whiter, better proportioned and aligned teeth. Patients today are willing to invest in cosmetic dentistry to make them feel good and look good.
At the Carfax Dental Practice in the heart of Horsham,West Sussex we specialise in offering a range of preventative, restorative and cosmetic dentistry:
Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices, being fixed means that once implanted they do not need to be removed (like dentures as they are cemented to the existing tooth. The procedure is fairly routine and would require local anesthesia and usually takes less than 3 sittings/visits.
A bridge is usually recommended if you are missing a tooth, the gap caused by a missing tooth serves as a vacuum and hence allows the side or the upper tooth to invade on the empty space and disturb the jaw line. Bridges are again moulded from porcelain or a combination of metal and porcelain and are fixed in position. Our staff will assist you throughout the selection process and facilitate the right selection keeping in mind a number of factors.
Typically a tooth implant implied a tooth – meaning that it would support a single tooth, but it is now possible to support a number of teeth through a combination of dentures and bridges. An implant needs bone as the building block to support the structure, generally individuals who have been maintaining good oral hygiene are ideal candidates for implants and should not pose any problems with the procedure.
