Restorative Dentistry

Frequently asked questions

What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is used to repair or replace damaged or missing teeth that are affecting both the function and appearance of your overall smile. It encompasses a range of treatments from simple inlays and onlays to complex dental implants.

Will my new restoration look natural?

Yes, absolutely. Our goal is to create restorations that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in shape, size, and colour. The result is a healthy, beautiful smile where the restored teeth blend seamlessly in.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Implants are strong and highly aesthetic new teeth that replace the root of a missing tooth, preventing bone loss and providing permanent stability. They function and feel just like natural teeth, offering the most durable solution for tooth loss.

When would a dentist recommend a crown?

Crowns are natural-looking caps fitted over a damaged or weakened tooth to provide protection and restore its original shape. They are often needed after a large filling, severe decay or root canal treatment to prevent the tooth from fracturing.

How does a bridge work to replace missing teeth?

A bridge literally fills the gap in your smile by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth on either side of the space. This is a fixed, non-removable solution that restores your ability to chew and speak properly.
