Restorative dentistry is required where preventive dentistry has not been appropriately maintained throughout one’s life. As restorative techniques tend to be intrusive and expensive, they are sometimes warranted to prevent any further undesirable complications in the future.

Fillings

Fillings are used to repair teeth that are chipped, fractured, or decayed. They can also be used to reshape and rebuild teeth that have been worn down. A white filling is a natural tooth coloured filling made of acrylic and glass particles that can be matched to the natural colour of your teeth.

Root Canals

A root canal is a procedure that saves or restores badly decayed or infected teeth. Some signs that a root canal may be needed include: severe toothache upon chewing or application of pressure, sensitivity to heat or cold, darkening of the tooth, and swelling of nearby gums. If left untreated, bacteria may develop, causing irreversible damage to vital tooth tissue and may lead to abscess formation.

Crowns

Crowns act as a tooth’s outer surface to restore damaged teeth back to their original form and normal functioning with a natural appearance.

Bridges

A bridge replaces missing teeth. A bridge can restore your smile and ability to chew and speak properly. It can also prevent the remaining teeth from drifting out of position. They are a great option for those who want a more permanent solution to dentures.
