PAIN AND SENSITIVITY AS RED FLAGS FOR TOOTH DECAY
Fast and Effective Tooth Fillings for Cavities
Tooth decay can manifest as sensitivity, chewing pain, visible holes or pits on the tooth surface, or discolouration. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to act!
​
Sensitivity is a sign your tooth enamel needs help. Our dentists will treat it so you can enjoy hot, cold, sweet, and acidic treats without pain or worry. Conversely, discomfort while chewing may indicate your tooth’s structural integrity is damaged, requiring prompt attention to prevent further damage.
Holes or pits on your tooth? That’s decay knocking at the door. Let us fill those gaps and protect your teeth from further erosion.
​
Don’t wait! If you’re experiencing these issues, professional care is a must. Our tooth filling services will restore your tooth’s structure and put a stop to decay.
FROM CAVITIES TO FURTHER COMPLICATIONS
Don’t Postpone Tooth Filling Treatment
Delaying tooth filling treatment can lead to the progression of decay, infections, and the need for complex procedures like root canals. Act now, and our swift dentists will ensure effective cavity treatment, preserving your teeth’s health and strength.

Choose prevention over complications!

How much do Dental Crowns cost?Dental Crowns can range in price depending on the material used in the crown and the size of the tooth. Crowns can be made from porcelain, ceramic, and metal, but porcelain crowns are the most popular because they look more natural since they can be colour-matched to your existing teeth. To find out more about our pricing, feel free to contact us to discuss our payment options.
-
How long do Dental Crowns last?The lifespan of a crown can vary between 5 and 15 years. Some crowns are sturdier than others, and may last 25 - 30 years. Just like natural teeth, you need to maintain Dental Crowns properly with regular 6-monthly check-up appointments, and brushing and flossing at home.
-
Is the Dental Crown procedure painful?As with most types of dental work, many patients express concern about possible pain and discomfort involved with the procedure. However, the crown process is incredibly common and is typically very easy for both the dentist and the patient, resulting in minimal discomfort throughout the entire process.

How long does it take to see results?Using our CEREC machine we can create same Day Dental Crowns so in just one consultation you can see results. However, treatment times vary from patient to patient, some people see results after 2-3 visits if other dental work is required.
