We look at how much healthy tooth is left, the condition of the root and gum support, the position in your mouth, and the long-term outlook. Where saving the tooth is realistic and the result will last, we save it. Replacing is the right choice when saving would mean ongoing problems.

Cerec is made on-site in a single visit, with no impressions, no temporary crown, and no second appointment. Traditional crowns are made in a lab over 2-3 weeks. Cerec is generally more durable and removes less healthy tooth structure. Both are good options - we'll recommend what's right for your specific tooth.

Depends on the treatment. Cerec ceramic: roughly 20 years. Traditional crowns: 10-15 years. Bridges: 10-15 years. Dental implants: 20+ years and often longer. Dentures: 5-8 years before they need replacing. Root canals: a lifetime in many cases.

Yes. We do crowns, bridges, implants, dentures and root canal treatment all in-house. You see the same clinical team throughout, which matters when treatment spans multiple appointments.

No. We numb properly before any drilling. Most patients describe restorative appointments as uncomfortable rather than painful. If you're nervous, tell us before the appointment and we'll go through it with you.

We'll talk you through what needs doing, what can wait, and what order to do things in. We can also stage treatment over several months if that helps you spread the cost. A clear plan upfront stops surprises later.

Yes. For larger treatment plans we offer payment options including 0% finance over various terms. We'll go through the figures and options at your consultation.
