In this video a crown is prepared to protect a tooth from fracture. More than half the tooth is reduced so that the crown can fit onto it.

Air abrasion can cut smaller cavities than a drill. It consists of abrasive particles propelled by compressed air and feels like air being blown on the tooth.

Digital sensors need a much lower x-ray dose than old-fashioned analogue film

Onlays can offer the same protection as a crown and a lot less tooth is cut down. If possible this is preferable to preparing the tooth for a crown.

This    is    a    philosophy    of    a    “systematic    respect    for    the original    tissue.”    Quite    simply    it    is    the    preservation    of original   tooth   substance.   Although   dental   materials   keep improving,   they   are   not   as   long-lasting   as   your   original tooth   and   whatever   filling   or   other   restoration   is   placed you   can,   unfortunately,   be   assured   that   it   will   one   day need   replacement.   Therefore,   prevention   is   better   than cure.   However,   if   treatment   is   needed   you   can   be   sure that    we    will    use    the    safest    diagnostic    methods    and recommend   treatment   that   will   aim   to   preserve   more   of your natural tooth.

This can include: • Diagnosis of tooth decay using  low dose digital x- rays • Diagnosis of tooth decay using Diagnocam • Diagnosis of tooth decay using Diagnodent • Fluoride application • Fissure Sealants • Air abrasion • HealOzone • Onlays instead of crowns • Composite bonding instead of veneers • Teeth Whitening to rejuvenate your smile • Teeth Straightening instead of crowns or veneers • Dentures or implants instead of bridges to replace missing teeth
