A bright Glaze surgery where fillings and crowns are placed

Treatments

Tooth fillings & crowns

Rebuilt so well, you'll forget which tooth it was.

Plan and price first

Nothing begins until you agree to it.

Unhurried visits

Time to ask everything you want to ask.

HMO accepted

Nine partner health plans, billed for you.

Gentle by default

Say you're nervous and we pace it to you.

When decay or damage takes part of a tooth, we remove what's compromised and rebuild what remains. Small repairs get tooth-coloured fillings; heavily worked teeth get crowns: a complete, sculpted cover matched to the shade and shape of your natural teeth. Either way, the goal is the same. No one, including you, should be able to spot the repair.

This is for you if

  • You have a cavity, or an old filling that's failing
  • A tooth is cracked, worn, or broken
  • A dark or discoloured tooth makes you hide your smile

Step by step

How it works

  1. 1

    Diagnosis

    We find every point of decay or weakness, including the ones that don't hurt yet, and show you exactly what we see.

  2. 2

    Preparation

    The damaged part of the tooth is gently removed under anaesthetic, keeping as much healthy tooth as possible.

  3. 3

    Restoration

    Fillings are sculpted and set in one visit. Crowns are custom-made to match your teeth, then fitted and checked against your bite.

  4. 4

    Bite check & polish

    We adjust until your bite closes exactly as it did before, polish the surface smooth, then review it at your next routine visit.

A closer look

Measured digitally, not guessed

Crowns are designed from a digital scan of your own bite, which is why the finished tooth sits flush and closes exactly the way it did before the damage.

Honest answers

Will the filling be visible?

No, we use tooth-coloured composite matched to your shade. Silver-coloured fillings are a thing of the past here.

When do I need a crown instead of a filling?

When too much tooth is lost for a filling to hold safely. Your dentist will show you the tooth and explain the honest trade-offs before you choose.

How long will the work last?

A well-placed composite filling typically gives you five to ten years, a crown ten to fifteen and often longer. Both last longest on teeth that get cleaned properly and checked twice a year.

Can I eat straight afterwards?

After a filling, yes, though wait until the numbness wears off so you don't bite your cheek. After a crown fitting, give it a few hours before anything hard or sticky.

Does a crown always mean a root canal?

No. A root canal is only needed when the nerve inside the tooth is infected or dying. Plenty of crowns go onto perfectly healthy teeth that simply need protection.

Can you replace my old silver fillings?

We can, and many patients ask us to for appearance. If an old filling is sound we will say so honestly rather than replace it for the sake of it.
