What are Dental Restorations?
The ultimate goal of restorative dental care is to get your teeth functioning properly and looking beautiful.
When we repair structural damage, like missing or damaged teeth, your smile and overall oral health will be improved.
There are many types of conditions or dental problems we may use restorations to fix. If left unfilled, the gap left by a missing tooth can cause surrounding teeth to shift out of place, eventually leading to gum disease and misalignment issues. Worn, decayed or chipped teeth can decrease your oral function, cause severe pain, and become very hard to clean.
With the help of our dental technology, our dentists will be able to diagnose your oral health condition, and determine which restorative treatments will be right for you.
Dental Fillings
During a filling procedure, tooth-coloured resin is used to fill in a cavity or crack to prevent the damage from progressing. Fillings can be used on your front or back teeth, and are made to withstand pressure from chewing.
Dental Crowns
A crown is a porcelain cap that can be used to cover a dental implant or a natural tooth that is discoloured or stained. They can also be used to attach dental bridges, or to prevent a cracked tooth from worsening.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are a form of tooth-replacement that are bonded to existing teeth or dental implants to replace a section of missing teeth. Dental bridges are custom-made to restore the natural contour and bite of your teeth.
Inlays & Onlays
When damage to a tooth is too extensive for a filling, an inlay or onlay may be used. These tooth-coloured fillings are custom-made of porcelain and are permanently cemented to the tooth as a single piece.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures can be used to replace one missing tooth, several teeth in a row (partial dentures) or a whole jaw of missing teeth (full dentures). By replacing missing teeth, a patient is able to continue to eat and speak properly, as well as maintain the regular appearance of their face.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Infection of the tissues in the gums, gingiva, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament are often lumped together as 'gum disease'. If caught early on, preventive treatment can help stop these diseases from worsening.
Root Canals
During a root canal, your dentist will remove diseased blood vessels, tissues, and nerves from the inside of your tooth. By getting the decayed material out, your dentist can help stop infection from spreading and hopefully save the tooth.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your head. Various disorders can lead to painful symptoms in this joint. Our dentists can test for, diagnose, and treat TMJ Disorder.
