General dentistry

Superior dentistry and
exceptional customer care

General dentistry includes all the services you would usually expect to find at a dental practive - check-ups, fillings, crowns, dentures and so on.

Of course, at Cape Road Dental we go beyond providing just the "usual" - we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality dentistry and exceptional customer care.

Here is some brief information on our general dental services - if you would like to know more or have any questions, please just ask.

Tooth-coloured (white) fillings

Fillings are necessary when part of your tooth has been damaged by decay. The treatment is relatively simple from our perspective. We numb your tooth and the area around it so you don't feel any pain, and then drill out the decay. We fill the hole with a strong and long-lasting material, and match the colour to your tooth so no-one will be able to tell you have a filling.

Crowns

Crowns are needed when the top part of your tooth (the crown) has been damaged and is not strong enough to be filled. We take an impression (mould) of the area, and send it to a dental laboratory, where a new crown is carefully crafted to provide a perfect fit and colour match. The result is a strong and realistic restoration that should last for years to come.

Bridges

Bridges are a way of replacing one or more missing teeth. They are in essence a false tooth or teeth which is held in place by the teeth on either side - they literally bridge the gap. Bridges are usually permanent, and are a good alternative to dentures. Sometimes we need to fit crowns to the neighbouring teeth to make them strong enough to support the bridge.

Dentures

Today's dentures are a far cry from how they used to be - they fit much better, and are much easier to wear. Our dentures are made from the most up-to-date materials to give the best results. We also offer dentures that are held firmly in place with dental implants, giving you greater confidence when eating and speaking.
