Restorative Dentistry treatment options can conserve and improve the health and appearance of your existing teeth and, effectively, repair teeth that have defects due to tooth decay (cavities), trauma or developmental problems.
Prosthodontic procedures deal with more advanced restoration treatment requirements and also the management of the replacement of missing teeth, or teeth that are about to be lost.
When the repair of a tooth involves placing the replacement material within the body of the tooth, this commonly called a filling, inlay or bonded filling procedure.
When the tooth is too damaged, worn or misshapen to be simply repaired, its restoration is frequently accomplished using the remaining tooth structure as a support, or stump, to receive a cap, crown or veneer.
Tooth Replacements
When replacement of a tooth or a number of teeth is necessary, this can involve the placement of a bridge, a dental implant or denture.
Complete dentures are provided as a service for patients with no remaining teeth. Many dentures can be supported by dental implants to stabilise them and improve their comfort and wearability.
