Often wisdom teeth come through into a good position, but it is also relatively common that people's wisdom teeth grow at a strange angle or are pushed into adjacent teeth, gum or bone (impacted). If you have wisdom teeth that are only partially through the gum or that are impacted, then they can be very difficult to keep clean and can cause pain or discomfort.

Where possible we would look at repairing your tooth with a crown or a filling, but it some cases a tooth will need removing. When you have a tooth out, the exact procedure will depend on the condition and position of the tooth to be extracted. This will be discussed in more detail by your dentist. We advise you to eat prior to your appointment as we will use local anaesthetic to numb the area to allow us to remove the tooth painlessly.

By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. There are different materials available to repair your teeth. These include gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-coloured fillings) and a silver amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc). For many years silver amalgam was the main material used for fillings, it is a strong material and can still be useful in certain circumstances.

When a Bridges is not possible, dental implants can help to avoid extra strain on teeth either side of the missing tooth. Dental implants can also be used to help stabilise lower full dentures if patients are having problems. Implants require careful planning to ensure there is sufficient bone to support the implants so that they can be placed in the correct position to allow natural replacement of the missing tooth/teeth.

Your dentist may recommend a bridge if you're missing one or more teeth and would like a fixed replacement. It maybe that you are unhappy with the appearance of the gap where your tooth is missing and a bridge could give a natural appearance. Bridges can be made out of either a combination of metal with tooth coloured porcelain layered over the top, or metal free bridges made entirely of tooth coloured ceramic are now possible in certain situations.
