In this modern era of dentistry patients are now keeping their teeth for longer as dental technology and patient awareness improves.

This presents the contemporary dental surgeon with a whole host of new challenges. As patients expect to retain a full complement of natural teeth for life they are now looking towards more complex, advanced treatments to save teeth, which may be in poor condition.

For those patients with relatively healthy teeth the scope now for completely natural looking cosmetics is diverse.

However, the greatest advancement has been in the field of preventative dentistry, as in the case of most situations, prevention is better than cure.
