Same Day Crowns
In some cases, restorations or filling material may not be appropriate, and more compromised teeth may require a crown. At BPFD, we offer same-day crowns. Crowns are used to completely cover or 'cap' a damaged tooth. They are typically used when a tooth is severely compromised from decay, or after a root canal treatment.

Root Canal Treatment
Root Canal Treatment is a procedure that is performed to save a tooth when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. Often, Root Canal Treatment involves multiple visits to remove the pulp and thoroughly clean and disinfect inside the tooth before filling the with a special material to stop bacteria entering the canal. To finish off a Root Canal Treatment, the tooth is restored with a crown to fully restore the tooth's function and appearance.
Extractions
At BPFD, we prioritise saving teeth wherever possible however, we understand in some cases, saving a tooth may not be possible for whatever reason. A tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth is severely decayed or damaged, infected, or impacted (unable to emerge fully from the gum).
Night Guard
A nightguard or 'splint' is a device worn at night to protect the teeth and jaws from damage caused by teeth grinding or clenching (a condition known as bruxism). These guards are typically made of hard or soft materials and are custom-fitted to your teeth for optimal comfort and effectiveness.
Mouth Guards
A mouthguard is designed to cushion and protect the teeth and jaws from injury during contact sports or other physical activities. A custom fitted sports mouthguard can also help prevent injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth, such as the lips and cheeks.
Take Home Whitening Kits
A Take Home Whitening Kit allows patients to whiten their teeth in the comfort of their own home. Our kits include custom-fitted trays and whitening gel containing a dentist grade bleaching agent.
