Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental problems and oral diseases. Our dentist may recommend a customised treatment plan to restore/repair decayed, chipped, broken, discolored, or even missing tooth/teeth. Teeth that are affected by any developmental or trauma-related damages can qualify for restorative treatment. Whether it’s a tooth filling, dental implant, crown, or bridge, there are several options available depending on the need.

Direct and Indirect Restorations

The two broad categories of Restorative Dentistry are Direct and Indirect restorations. The direct restorative method involves placing restorative material directly in the tooth itself while indirect restorations are typically prepared in a dental laboratory before they are placed in the patient’s mouth. Direct restorative materials include dental amalgam, composite resins, and glass ionomer cement. Materials used in the indirect process include porcelain, gold, and zirconia. Common direct restorative treatments include dental bonding and white fillings. Popular indirect procedures include dental veneers, crowns, and bridges as well as inlays and outlays.

Restorative Dentistry Services

• White fillings: Our composite fillings are made from a tooth-colored material that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are a great option for small to medium-sized cavities and can be completed in just one appointment.
• Inlays/Onlays : Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations that are used to repair larger cavities or areas of damage. They are typically made from tooth-colored materials such as composite or porcelain and are designed to match your natural teeth perfectly.
• Crowns : Crowns are used to restore damaged or weakened teeth. They are custom-made to fit over your existing tooth and are designed to look and function just like your natural teeth.
• Bridges: A bridge is a dental prosthetic used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is anchored to the remaining teeth on either side of the gap and can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain and metal.
