They can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or even a full arch and are very much part of our treatment philosophy, which is 'to preserve and enhance your natural teeth and dental health'. The first step to beautifully restored teeth is to arrange a FREE consultation with our implant team who will discuss your requirements and start to formulate a tailor-made action plan so we can restore your teeth as effectively as possible.

All the dentists will continue to monitor all younger patients as they are growing and encountering orthodontic problems and we will be making the appropriate referrals for orthodontic treatment with our trusted colleagues at Edinburgh Orthodontics. We very much regret this reduction of provision within the practice and will provide as much help as possible for those patients who are within a course of orthodontic treatment.

In the first place, we will try to identify the cause so that changes to your home care routine can be made to prevent these factors from affecting your other teeth in the future. Secondly, we may arrange an appointment with one of our Oral Health Educators to enhance your care programme. Thirdly, we will consider a restorative solution to repair the damage to your teeth with "minimal intervention". Minimal intervention has been our restorative policy for over 20 years.
