Magazine articles and TV shows tend to reinforce the idea that there is a special breed of cosmetic dentists. At Moody Terrace we take the aesthetics of our work very seriously and have all the latest materials and procedures available, but we also believe that cosmetics must be backed by sound restorative knowledge and technique. Your beautiful new smile must be functional, comfortable and long-lasting.
Material Benefits.
Dental restorative materials are developing at an extraordinary pace. This creates a constant need to update knowledge and techniques to get the best out of the latest materials. Adhesive dentistry is over 20years old but is only just coming of age. At Moody Terrace we have a full range of restorative options including the latest metal-free resin-based and cast porcelain fillings. Cast or pressed porcelain such as the Empress E-Max system offers strong and beautiful crowns, inlays and even bridges with no metal involved. And because all these materials can now be bonded to the tooth, they can reduce tooth tissue lost at preparation and can restore strength as well as beauty to your teeth.
Keep smiling whilst straightening your teeth.
Invisalign is a new way of straightening your teeth which does away with traditional wires and brackets and replaces them with a series of transparent, close-fitting aligners. Developed in California by Align Technology, Invisalign is particularly popular with adult patients who were not offered, or refused, orthodontics as a teenager. It gives these patients a second chance of the smile they want without the embarrassment of wearing “train tracks” on their teeth. Three of the dentists at Moody Terrace are licensed to use the Invisalign system.
This gentleman has been tolerating the inconvenience of a removable acrylic denture. We freed him from this inconvenience and discomfort by replacing the missing front teeth with bridgework constructed from porcelain fused to metal and supported on the remaining natural teeth.
