Restorative Dental

When a tooth becomes compromised, due to dental decay, a crack or chip or other damage, you may experience discomfort and pain when eating or even as you are just going about your daily routine. Thankfully, a simple dental restoration (filling) may be enough to help repair the damage and stop the pain. By carefully restoring the area, we can help you prevent further deterioration of your tooth. Most of the time, this can be done in one visit and we can even do these during your routine dental check-ups if you wish.

If you have a missing tooth, one option that may be available to you to ‘bridge’ the gap are dental bridges. These dental bridges can replace the missing teeth with false teeth or pontic bridge, which are held in place by abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Naturally, there are other options available from these traditional bridges, including cantilever bridges, Maryland bridges or implant supported bridges. Whichever is used, a dental bridge can help stabilise the teeth around the gap and also improve your bite, leading to better oral health outcomes. Of course we all feel better when we can smile confidently with great teeth.

Sometimes a simple restoration (filling) is not enough to restore a damaged tooth. A crown may also be unnecessary and something in between is required. This is where dental inlays and dental onlays come into their own. These specially made fillings are made outside your mouth and then simply fit onto the damaged tooth. These are a great option to help restore your tooth without capping the entire tooth. With inlays and onlays being made from tough dental materials, they will protect your teeth for many years to come.
