About Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry covers the treatments that repair teeth affected by decay, damage, or loss. The goal is to restore both function and appearance, whether that means filling a cavity, protecting a weakened tooth with a crown, or replacing missing teeth with a bridge or dentures. Addressing these issues promptly helps prevent further damage to surrounding teeth and supports your long term oral health.

Our Restorative Dentistry Services

Tooth-Coloured Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings repair cavities while blending naturally with the rest of your smile. They restore the strength of the tooth so you can chew comfortably without the tooth decay spreading further.

Crowns and Bridges

A crown protects a tooth that is too damaged or weakened for a filling, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using the surrounding teeth for support. Both are custom made to match the look and function of your natural teeth.

Dentures

Dentures offer a removable option for replacing some or all of your missing teeth. A well fitted denture restores your ability to eat and speak comfortably while supporting the natural shape of your face.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do tooth-coloured fillings last?
With good oral hygiene, tooth-coloured fillings typically last several years, though this can vary depending on the location of the filling and your bite.
How do I know if I need a crown or a filling?
A filling is usually enough for smaller cavities, while a crown is recommended when a tooth has more extensive damage or decay that a filling cannot adequately support.
Are dentures comfortable to wear?
Modern dentures are designed for a custom fit and comfort, though there is often a short adjustment period as you get used to wearing them.
Can a bridge be used to replace more than one missing tooth?
Yes, a bridge can replace one or more missing teeth as long as there is enough support from the surrounding teeth.
Will my insurance cover restorative treatments?
Many insurance plans offer partial coverage for restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, bridges, and dentures. We accept direct billing for most major providers and can help clarify your coverage.
