Broken, cracked or missing teeth

Broken or cracked teeth

Heavily-filled teeth or those containing amalgam fillings are subject to forces as the filling material expands and contracts over time. 

A crown is like a crash helmet for your teeth which gives strength to the biting surface. Crowns are a great long-term solution.

You should never use your teeth to open objects including bottles. Regular preventative care appointments allow us to monitor heavily-filled teeth for signs of cracking.

If a tooth breaks below the gum line or through the root the tooth may need to be extracted.

If you have a tooth extracted you will need to consider an option for replacement. Otherwise, the teeth will collapse into the gap like books on a book shelf.

Missing teeth

When teeth are missing it affects the shape of your face and your ability to eat a range of foods comfortably. In turn, this has an impact on your overall health and confidence, particularly if you are unable to smile

There are several options to replace missing teeth. These include bridges, implants and dentures.

We offer all of these solutions and can work with you to discuss how and what the best option is for you.

Replacing missing teeth is an investment in your health.

Loose teeth

At around the age of 6, children start losing their baby teeth, although there can be a lot of variation.

Between 6 and 12 your child will have a mixture of baby and adult teeth. Regular preventative care appointments encourage good hygiene habits and allow detection and discussion of any issues as your child develops and grows.

If you are an adult with teeth that are loose, this is an indication that you have periodontal disease. Poor oral hygiene causes inflammation and infection of the gums. In turn, this leads to the tissue and bone that supports the teeth being damaged and teeth getting loose.

Early detection and treatment by our Oral Health Therapists is the first step to prevent unavoidable tooth loss if your adult teeth are loose.

Loose teeth may be the result of a traumatic injury and you should contact us immediately so that we can help you.
