Vard Dental - Products

Our Restore Collection aims at giving you back a functioning set of teeth that meets your attractiveness requirements. You can influence the restoration design (within limits) to achieve a fresh, age/damage corrected set of teeth. Veneers are used for a wide variety of reasons including transforming crooked, stained, damaged, chipped or worn teeth into a brand-new straight set of white teeth. Veneers are wafer-thin “covers” of tooth-coloured material (which can be either porcelain, ceramic or composite bonding material). They are “cemented” to the front surface of teeth to improve the overall appearance. Dental veneers are also used to treat stained teeth which cannot be improved by teeth whitening. Dental veneers can also be used to treat damaged teeth which are chipped, broken, or worn from excessive grinding. A small chip on a tooth can quickly be repaired with composite bonding or a porcelain veneer. Dental veneers are also used to fill small gaps or spaces between front teeth.

A crown, sometimes known as a dental cap, is a type of dental restoration which completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. Crowns are often needed when a large cavity threatens the ongoing health of a tooth. Dental crown procedures may be undertaken for one of several reasons: you have a particularly weak tooth that needs to be held together or requires a bridge; post root canal treatment to protect the tooth; you have a tooth that is extremely discoloured; or you wish to have a crown placed for cosmetic reasons. There are several types of crowns that can be used. Dr. David will assess your specific situation and make a recommendation on the best solution for you. After Dr. David and You agree your treatment, installing a dental crown normally takes at least two separate dental visits. Chat with us about your requirements and we will work out the most appropriate treatment to meet your requirements.

Fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged, either due to injury or decay. By placing a filling, the tooth takes on its normal shape and size, allowing the tooth to continue being used as it should. There are a number of different kinds of fillings available such as composite (white fillings), porcelain (inlays and onlays), and amalgam (silver). It is worth noting that silver fillings are being phased out. We can discuss the pros and cons of each type of fillings which will help you decide which is best for you.

A bridge is a fixed dental restoration (a fixed dental prosthesis) used to replace a missing tooth (or several teeth) by joining an artificial tooth permanently to adjacent teeth. Dental bridges are false teeth, which are anchored onto neighbouring teeth to replace one or more missing teeth. The false tooth is known as a pontic and is fused in between two crowns that serve as anchors by attaching to the teeth on each side of the false tooth, thereby bridging them together. Vard Dental recommends bridges, where possible, when there are one or more teeth missing, particularly if the effect of the missing tooth is to compromise your speech or appearance. Also, your bite can be altered as adjacent teeth can tilt into the space. A chat with Dr. David will provide you with all the information to make the right decision for you.

Dentures have been used to replace missing teeth for many years now. Alternative methods used to replace missing teeth include dental implants and fixed bridges. Vard Dental recommend that missing teeth be replaced as soon as possible. The loss of your teeth can have negative effects on your self-confidence, your ability to chew food and your bite. Since your teeth provide structure and support to your cheeks, tooth loss can result in the sagging of your cheeks and make you appear older than you are. Dentures are removable replacements for your teeth, designed to look and function like your own natural teeth. Modern-day dentures can look very realistic and natural and feel comfortable. Dentures can be fixed securely in place by dental implants or mini-implants. It is important to keep your dentures always clean. You should remove your dentures at night to give your gums “a rest” and the chance to be exposed to your natural saliva, which will keep them healthy. Do brush them...
