Natural
White Fillings
If a tooth has been damaged by decay, a filling is used to restore its strength and function. At Oakdale Dental, we use white fillings, which are made from composite resin or porcelain and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. Unlike traditional silver amalgam fillings, white fillings are discreet, natural-looking, and durable, helping you maintain a beautiful smile while protecting your oral health.
Restore
Your Broken Teeth
Breaking a tooth can be painful, unsightly, and can affect your confidence, so it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. The method of repair depends on the severity of the damage, the tooth involved, and how many teeth are affected.
- Chipped Teeth: Minor chips can often be repaired using a filling, restoring both strength and appearance.
- Front Teeth: If a front tooth is chipped, it can be treated with bonding, where a tooth-coloured composite resin is carefully applied to restore the tooth’s natural shape and appearance.
- More Severe Damage: For larger breaks or weakened teeth, a dental crown may be recommended to fully restore strength, function, and aesthetics while protecting the tooth long term.
Same-Day
Dental Crowns
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap placed over a damaged or broken tooth to restore its strength, function, and appearance. Traditionally, crowns required impressions and multiple appointments, but with the CEREC (CEramic REConstruction) system, your crown can now be created and fitted in a single visit.
Using a digital 3D scan, we capture an exact image of your tooth — no gooey impressions needed. The crown is then milled from high-quality ceramic within minutes, providing a durable, natural-looking restoration that blends seamlessly with your smile.
With a CEREC crown, you can repair broken or decayed teeth quickly, enjoy lifelike results, and avoid the need for a
second appointment. It’s a modern, convenient solution for beautiful, strong teeth in just one day.
Root Fillings Or
Root Canal Care
Deep decay or injury can sometimes affect the nerve inside a tooth, causing pain or infection. If left untreated, the infection can spread from the root into the surrounding bone and gum, leading to more serious problems.
Root canal treatment removes the infection from inside the tooth, then fills and seals it to prevent further infection and relieve pain. Once the tooth is treated, the surrounding tissues also recover, allowing you to keep your natural tooth and maintain your smile.
At Oakdale Dental, we focus on making root canal treatment as comfortable, efficient, and effective as possible, helping you restore your oral health while avoiding the need for tooth extraction.
Same-Day
Dental Extractions
Sometimes a tooth may be too damaged, decayed, or impacted to be saved, and a dental extraction becomes necessary. At Oakdale Dental, we carry out extractions with the utmost care and attention to your comfort, using modern techniques and anaesthesia to make the procedure as gentle and stress-free as possible.
After the extraction, we provide clear aftercare instructions to promote fast healing and minimise discomfort. Where appropriate, we can also discuss tooth replacement options, such as crowns, bridges, or implants, to restore your smile and function.
Our priority is to ensure you feel safe, supported, and well-informed throughout the process, while protecting your long-term oral health.
Replace Missing Teeth with Dental Bridges
If you have gaps between your teeth, a dental bridge can fill the space seamlessly. The bridge is designed to fit over your existing teeth, effectively bridging the gap and restoring both appearance and function.
Dental bridges can:
- Enhance the look of your smile
- Improve your bite
- Prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting
Most bridges are made from porcelain or ceramic, giving a natural, lifelike appearance that blends beautifully with your existing teeth. At Oakdale Dental, we create bridges that both durable helping you smile, speak, and eat with confidence.
Comfortable Dentures
Dentures are a reliable way to replace missing teeth and restore both the appearance and function of your smile. They consist of a removable plate holding one or more artificial teeth, designed to fit comfortably over your gums. Dentures can be made from acrylic, nylon, or metal, depending on your needs, and are carefully crafted to provide a natural-looking, secure fit.
They can help to:
Restore your confidence and smile
Improve your ability to eat and speak comfortably
Support the overall structure of your face
At Oakdale Dental, we ensure your dentures are custom-made and tailored to you, providing comfort, stability, and a natural appearance so you can feel confident every day.
