Restoring function, not just appearance

Restoration dentistry covers several procedures that repair oral health after decay, damage, or tooth loss — each suited to a different situation.

• Bridges — a row of artificial teeth anchored to your natural teeth on either side, filling the gap left by one or more missing teeth.
• Crowns — a full-coverage cap cemented over a damaged or heavily restored tooth to restore its shape and strength.
• Implants — a titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth, with a crown attached on top.
• Fillings — the standard treatment for a cavity, once decay has been removed.
• Inlays & onlays — cast restorations, generally stronger than a conventional filling, cemented in place over two appointments.

If a cavity is caught too late for a filling alone, root canal therapy or extraction may be needed instead — another reason regular checkups matter. Twice-yearly visits give us the best chance of treating problems with the simplest option available.
