There are several treatments to deal with a missing tooth, but best of all is a dental implant. Your jaw needs a tooth to interact with to retain its strength and shape, and a dental implant replicates a real tooth as closely as possible. Dental implants are fixed into the jaw itself, where the bone ossifies around the new tooth, further strengthening the bond and preserving the life and health of your jaw. As implants are mostly made from titanium, they are incredibly durable, potentially lasting for decades if looked after properly.

When white fillings first came into common usage, they were considerably less durable than their metal predecessors, but due to significant advances in dental technology, white fillings can now last as long as 15 years. There are three types of white filling, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. Dr Bechar will explain your options and answer any questions you might have during your consultation.

Invisalign clear braces are a good way to realign gapped teeth, but you could also opt for porcelain veneers, which can be shaped to slightly enlarge the teeth on either side of a gap, giving the appearance of even, well-aligned teeth. If a tooth is missing, an implant is the best way to go.

Teeth whitening is a simple, easy, and painless way to eliminate discolouration. At Oxley Park Dental Practice, we take a 3D digital scan of your teeth, have bespoke trays manufactured for you, and provide you with Enlighten’s highly effective gel to apply for 14 consecutive nights. We are confident you will be delighted by the transformation!

Invisalign clear aligners are immensely popular for a reason. Not only are they discreet, allowing you to keep your smile correction treatment private, but they are effective in treating every type of misalignment and bite issue. The most complex issues might require a different remedy or perhaps surgery, but Dr Bechar will advise you if this is the case.

Dental treatments are sometimes most effective in conjunction with others. For example, while Invisalign braces can give you an even, symmetrical smile, they don’t help with discolouration, which is best addressed through teeth whitening. A smile makeover relies heavily on consultation, where your needs and concerns form the basis of the proposed set of treatments to give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
