Treatment planning for dental implants at Chapter One Dental is carefully tailored to each patient. Dr Chris Chisholm uses CBCT imaging and guided techniques to ensure accuracy and predictability. We aim to provide safe, effective, and comfortable care, resulting in durable restorations that enhance both function and confidence. 
Composite fillings offered at Chapter One Dentistry restore function and appearance naturally. Our clinicians use advanced restorative methods and precise application techniques. We remove decay, place composite resin in layers, and cure it with light. Symptoms can involve sensitivity, pain, visible cavities or rough enamel areas. Early intervention is recommended to protect teeth and maintain oral health. 
We take a thoughtful and precise approach to dental crown treatment for teeth that require full restoration. Crowns are recommended when damage, decay or wear prevents effective repair with fillings or onlays. Our crowns are crafted from durable tooth-coloured materials chosen to match your natural smile. The final result restores strength, improves function and enhances appearance. People

Report
I am delighted with the excellent dental treatment that I have received from Chris Chisholm. In particular I highly recommend him for dental implants. Chris is a highly skilled and experienced dentist, specialising in implants. He is always prompt to respond, puts me at ease and takes time to explain procedures. I am very happy with all the implants which I have had from Chris.
