Repairing Teeth with Careful, Natural-Looking Dentistry

Restorative dentistry encompasses various dental treatments designed to repair or replace teeth. This includes fillings , crowns , bridges and dentures , which all are designed to restore both the function and appearance of your teeth.

Maintaining the integrity of your mouth is crucial not just for aesthetics, but also for your overall health. Restorative procedures help to prevent further decay, support proper chewing and speaking, and maintain the structure of your jaw and face.

How Restorative Dental Treatment
Works A Simple, Painless Process

Your dentist will examine the tooth, assess your bite and discuss any symptoms before recommending a suitable restorative option. Where needed, digital scans, X-rays or photographs may be used to help plan treatment and explain the options clearly.

1

Fillings

The use of tooth-coloured materials to seamlessly repair cavities and restore your tooth's integrity.

2

Crowns

Custom-made crowns to cover and protect damaged or weakened teeth, restoring their shape and function.

3

Bridges

The design and fit of bridges to close gaps left by missing teeth, improving your bite and smile.

4

Onlays

These are like a smaller version of a crown, like a hat that sits on top of your tooth.

5

Dentures

Partial or full dentures may be used to replace missing teeth. They are planned around your mouth, bite and remaining teeth, with adjustments made where needed.

When Might You Need Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry may be recommended if you have a broken tooth, tooth decay, a cracked filling, a worn bite, a damaged crown, a gap from a missing tooth or discomfort when chewing. Your dentist will first assess the cause of the problem, then explain whether the tooth can be repaired, protected or needs a different treatment approach.
