Repairing Smiles with Restorative Solutions
Restorative treatments can help repair damage and prevent decay in teeth that have sustained trauma or developed cavities.
Damaged, decayed or missing teeth can have a negative impact on your oral health by contributing to the buildup of plaque and other debris, ultimately leading to additional tooth decay or gum disease.
Did you know that oral health issues can also lead to overall health problems? Poor oral health can leave you with an increased risk of infection which may contribute to issues like heart disease. By restoring your smile, we help prevent serious complications and improve your quality of life.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are used to repair broken teeth and large cavities, as well as attach bridges and alter the appearance of discoloured teeth. Crowns are custom-made to fit over the entire tooth and are permanently cemented into place. They are designed to match your other teeth to help give you a natural-looking smile.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of artificial teeth with a crown affixed to either side. These custom-made restorations have a natural appearance and can help preserve the contour of the jawline and the bite between your upper and lower teeth.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings, made from tooth-coloured composite material, are used to repair small holes in your teeth that form due to tooth decay. If this decay is not removed and then promptly filled, the issue will continue to spread throughout the tooth, leading to painful oral health conditions and more complex treatment.
Root Canals
A root canal is a procedure where your dentist removes diseased pulp and soft tissues from within the canals of the tooth. By removing the infected parts, and then filling the tooth, your dentist can help prevent bacteria from re-entering. If the tooth requires additional support after a root canal, we may top it off with a dental crown for added protection.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are used when a cavity is too large for a standard filling but too small for a full crown. These dental restorations are custom-made and permanently bonded to your teeth. Inlays are used for the areas between the cusps (protruding bumpy parts) of a tooth while an onlay covers at least one cusp.
Dentures
Dentures are used to replace missing teeth. Full dentures are used when all of your teeth need replaced. Partial dentures are used when one or more teeth are missing. In some cases, implant-supported dentures can be used if you are missing a full arch of teeth and would like the stability of dental implants with the ease of dentures.
