  • Oral cancer screening

Root Canal Therapy

Do you suffer with sensitivity when chewing or biting, or have a constant pain in one of your teeth? You may require root canal therapy. 

Signs you may be suffering from a root canal infection:

  • Spontaneous tooth pain
  • Sensitivity to hot food or cold beverages
  • Pain when chewing or biting on foods
  • Loosening of the tooth
  • Facial swelling
  • Persistent abscess on the tooth
  • Puss oozing around the tooth

Dental Fillings

If you have a cavity and your tooth is decayed, a dental filling is generally the most common way to resolve the problem. Dental fillings are used to restore the structure and integrity of a tooth. We offer tooth-coloured fillings as they offer many benefits:

  • Durable – can last up to 10 years
  • Restore strength to damaged teeth
  • Maintain the integrity of the natural tooth
  • Safer than amalgam fillings
  • Preserve more of the natural tooth

Crown and Bridgework

Do you have a tooth that is broken beyond repair of a general sealant? Crowns and bridgework can restore and repair teeth to their prime function and aesthetics. If you are unfortunately missing some of your natural teeth due to extractions, you can now close these gaps in your smile with bridgework. Bridges are a suitable procedure to maintain the strength of the teeth on either side of the vacancy and will close the gap to restore chewing ability. Bridges can be cleaned and flossed as normal and will restore strength, function, and aesthetics to the smile.

Dental Implants

Are missing teeth inhibiting your chewing ability and smile? Losing teeth is often thought of as a fact of life but it is important to take time to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are a great alternative to bridges and denture because they don’t only replace the visible part of the tooth. Dental implants are revolutionary treatments that offer many benefits:

  • Look like real teeth
  • Function as real teeth do
  • Stops loss of jawbone density
  • Restore health to your smile
  • Keeps other teeth in line
  • Help improve eating and speaking
  • Can last a lifetime with proper care

Dental implants available at New England Dental can restore your smile with natural-looking, durable, and long-lasting alternatives to bridges and dentures.
