Restorative Dentistry

Dental disease or traumatic injury can definitely ruin a smile. It does not need to be permanent. Advancement in dental treatments can restore a patient’s dental appearance. By having more choices, we can perform dental restoration to repair worn, decayed, damaged, or missing teeth to restore your healthy and beautiful smile.

Direct Restoration

We provide direct tooth restoration that can be entirely fabricated and completed inside the mouth and do not require the use of a dental laboratory. This procedure can be done in one dental visit from us. We will help you choose from a variety of filling options based on the type and location of the filling found on your teeth.

Since they can be completed without the use of a dental laboratory, they can usually be completed during a single dental appointment and don’t require the use of a provisional, or temporary restoration. The most common direct restoration used are dental fillings made from silver amalgam or composite resin.

The composite resin used in dental fillings can also be used to repair minor chips and cracks in the teeth. This type of restorative treatment is known as dental bonding, but it can also be called composite bonding or cosmetic bonding. In some cases, composite resin can also be used for the fabrication of composite veneers.

Indirect Restoration

We advise an indirect tooth restoration when a larger volume or extensive area of the tooth needs to be replaced. Indirect restorations are those that cannot be fabricated inside the mouth and instead must be fabricated outside of the mouth before being placed on the affected tooth. Some examples include crowns, bridges, dental implants, inlays, onlays, and veneers. These restorations can be fabricated by a dental laboratory or an in-office milling machine, if your dentist has one. In cases where a dental lab is used, there are usually two dental appointments required to place an indirect restoration.

Indirect restorations are larger than direct restorations and are capable of restoring teeth that have more severe damage or decay than a small cavity. They are also made from different dental materials that provide additional protection to the tooth and can withstand the force of chewing for longer periods of time before needing replacement. Indirect restorations can also provide several aesthetic benefits to improve the look of your smile.

Chewing Surface

Crowns, inlays and onlays are made from an array of materials. Basically, gold is still used for some inlays. Others prefer or are more concerned having white teeth. As such, we offer porcelain and tooth-coloured composite resins as options.

Prosthodontics

Our facilities are able to provide you prosthodontics. It is also known as dental prosthetics or prosthetic dentistry. We can offer you the following services depending on your needs.

Removable Partials Dentures

If you need removable partial dentures, it will have a metal framework and clasps that will connect to your teeth and attached to a pink or gum-coloured plastic bases. It may feel awkward and bulky at first and this is normal.

Flexible Partial Dentures

Flexible partials is a solution we provide to replace one or more teeth. Using this type of dentures, it does not require any uncomfortable metal clasps to keep them in place. It is made of nylon which makes them flexible and found to be resistant and durable. It is also realistic-looking and offers an instant aesthetic solution.

Complete Dentures

Commonly known as false teeth; we provide complete dentures to replace the function and look of the teeth after the original teeth are removed and gum tissues are healed. This could take several months as we will prepare you physically and psychologically in using the complete dentures. We believe that the transition is important as it can be traumatic to some.
