FAQs

How do I know if I need a filling or a crown?

Your dentist checks the amount and condition of the tooth that remains, how you bite and how much support a repair would need.

Fillings and crowns
What if a tooth has broken or become painful?

Contact the practice and explain what happened. The team can advise how soon you need to be seen.

Emergency dental care
Can a guard stop me grinding my teeth?

A guard may help protect the teeth from wear. The dentist can assess what else may be contributing to your symptoms.

Repairing or treating a tooth

A filling repairs a small area, while an inlay, onlay or crown can cover more of the tooth. If the tissue inside is inflamed or infected, root canal treatment may help keep the tooth. Your dentist can discuss removal if a tooth can’t be kept or another option would suit you better.

Grinding or clenching

Tell your dentist about tooth wear, jaw discomfort or problems when you bite. They’ll assess what’s happening and whether an appliance could help protect your teeth.
