What is Restorative Dental Care?
Restorative dental care includes any procedure designed to restore your smile's normal function and appearance.
Our dentists can help restore your smile and oral health by repairing structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth.
Depending on your issue, the Mill Woods Town Centre Dental Clinic dentists will determine the right restorative treatment option for you.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are porcelain caps placed on top of teeth to help restore their function and appearance. They can also be used to attach bridges, cover dental implants, prevent a cracked tooth from worsening, or restore a discoloured or stained tooth to its natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that are bonded to existing teeth or dental implants to replace a section of missing teeth. Custom-made bridges should be barely noticeable. They can restore the natural shape of teeth and the bite between the upper and lower teeth.
Partial Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth that replace a missing tooth, several in a row, or a whole jaw of missing teeth. They should allow patients with missing teeth to maintain their facial structure and speak and eat properly.
Root Canals
A root canal is when your dentist removes diseased blood vessels, nerves, and tissues from the inner tooth. By removing the decay and bacteria, your dentist can help stop the spread of infection and prevent the need for an extraction.
Dental Fillings
At Mill Woods Town Centre Dental Clinic, we use composite (tooth-coloured) fillings to repair a cavity or tooth damage, like a crack. These fillings should withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing and can be used on front and back teeth.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are tooth-coloured porcelain fillings used to repair cavities when the damage is too extensive for a standard dental filling. They are custom-made in a dental lab and are then cemented to the tooth as a single piece.
Dental Implant Restorations
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that functions like a natural tooth root. They can be used to replace a single lost tooth or many missing teeth.
The restoration phase of the dental implant process, performed at our clinic, involves placing the artificial tooth (or teeth).
