Minimally Invasive Treatment
If ever there was a good example of ‘less is more’ it must surely be dentistry. The least that can be done to the tooth, whilst keeping it healthy and functional, the better. It is often possible to rebuild a tooth by building it up with bonded composite (tooth coloured filling material) with no preparation of the tooth at all. This normally does not involve any drilling or injections and can be carried out in a single visit. It is possible to achieve fabulous results with this method and it is a highly conservative approach. Dr Sunnucks has treated many cases in this way and has lectured widely on the subject.
I have received the best possible treatment and care I could have expected. Everything has been excellent.

Treatment options
Occasionally it is necessary to consider porcelain restorations bonded to the tooth. Although this may involve light preparation of the tooth, the principles of minimal invasion are still followed with as little tooth reduction as possible. We have excellent laboratory support for this work and have completed some beautiful life like results.
