Restorative Dentistry
Damaged or missing teeth can cause a multitude of challenges, from difficulties speaking to being unable to chew different foods. Restorative dentistry techniques allow us to fully restore the look and function of the teeth, leaving you with a complete smile.
Dental Bonding
Dental bonding can be used for a variety of dental issues, including repairing cracked or chipped teeth, changing the size of the teeth, and protecting exposed tooth roots. Dental bonding requires the use of composite resin material, which can be colour-matched, molded, and shaped to your teeth. This can usually be completed in one visit, and without anesthetic.
Dental Implants
When tooth loss occurs, it’s important to fill in the gaps in your smile to ensure your teeth and bite stay aligned, and you maintain the ability to chew, speak, and smile naturally. Dental implants can be used to replace one, some, or even all the teeth. They are a long-lasting option that looks, feels, and functions much like the natural teeth.
Dental Bridges
When you’re missing teeth, it can affect everything from the way you speak to the way you eat, and even how you smile. Dental bridges allow us to place a pontic (a false tooth) in the locations where you are missing teeth by securing them to the nearby teeth. This results in a fully restored bite, giving you the freedom and flexibility to eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Dental Fillings
Dental fillings are an important way to keep the teeth strong and healthy. Small holes (cavities) in the teeth can form over time and with wear. When bacteria enter the tooth through these holes, decay and even infection can set in, leading to more serious complications. Dental fillings prevent bacteria from entering the tooth, sealing it and resecuring it.
Inlays and Onlays
In some situations, a filling does not offer enough coverage or support for a damaged tooth. In these cases, an inlay or onlay can be secured to the tooth to ensure a more robust and stable solution. Inlays and onlays are often used in the case of large cavities. With excellent care and maintenance, and inlay or onlay can last many years.
Dentures
Dentures are a type of removable dental appliance that can be used to replace missing teeth. There are many types of dentures available to support different needs. Whether you have partial tooth loss or full tooth loss, dentures are an excellent solution to help ensure you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
