Aesthetic restorations
We work with materials that reproduce the shape and colour of natural teeth very closely. Chipped, discoloured and broken teeth are usually rebuilt with composite, and larger cavities with a crown.
Direct restorations
A filling that looks better and stands up to more wear calls for more expensive base and filling materials, and for far more time in the chair adapting the technique to the individual mouth. Most patients are surprised how natural the result looks.
When do better materials make sense?
We build the composite up in two layers: a body shade first, then an enamel shade. Body shades A1 to A4 cover most natural teeth. Body material also comes in other shades: BL is for whitened, very light teeth, and B3B for yellow teeth.
The enamel shades imitate natural enamel and have a similar degree of translucency. Ne is used mainly in the front of the mouth and OcE in the back teeth. Three further enamel shades (alternatives to Ne) can be used as follows: TE for very translucent front teeth, WE for white enamel, and YE for enamel with orange discolouration.
Prosthetic restorations
We offer prosthetic work in zirconia, a material used for all-ceramic restorations, crowns and bridges. We build the work in layers so that it matches the shape and shade of your other teeth.

At the consultation we look at the tooth and tell you whether a filling will be enough or whether a larger restoration is needed.
