Dental Fillings
Repair your teeth. Restore your smile.
Damaged, broken or weakened teeth can often be repaired and restored.
Restorative dentistry helps bring back the strength, function and appearance of teeth affected by decay, damage or wear.
IN SIMPLE WORDS
What is restorative dentistry?
Teeth can become damaged for many reasons. Decay, cracks, injuries, old fillings or years of wear can change the way a tooth looks and functions.
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing these teeth and helping them work properly again.
The aim is simple: preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible and restore its function.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
Different problems need different solutions.
We first understand what is happening with your tooth and then discuss the treatment options that may be suitable.
Tooth-coloured fillings
Used to repair teeth affected by cavities or small areas of damage while keeping the restoration natural-looking.
Crowns
A crown can cover and protect a weakened or extensively damaged tooth and help restore its shape and function.
Inlays & Onlays
These can be used when a tooth needs more support than a filling but may not need a full crown.
Broken tooth repair
Damaged or chipped teeth may sometimes be repaired and restored depending on how much of the tooth remains.
Worn teeth
Teeth that have become worn over time can be assessed and, when appropriate, restored to improve their function.
Replacing old restorations
Old or damaged fillings and restorations can be assessed and replaced when they are no longer suitable.
OUR APPROACH
We don't just repair the tooth. We look at the reason it was damaged.
Understand the problem
We examine the tooth and surrounding area to understand what has caused the damage.
Discuss your options
We explain the possible ways to restore the tooth, including the advantages and limitations of each option.
Choose the right restoration
The choice depends on how much of the tooth remains, where the tooth is located and what it needs to do.
Protect it for the future
We also discuss how you can look after the restored tooth and reduce the chance of further damage.
YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Restorative dentistry questions, answered simply.
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged, decayed or weakened teeth and helping them function properly again.
No. The appropriate treatment depends on how much of the tooth is affected. Some teeth may only need a filling, while others may need more protection.
Sometimes. It depends on how the tooth was damaged and how much healthy tooth remains.
Many modern dental restorations can be made to closely match the colour and shape of natural teeth.
The lifespan varies depending on the type of restoration, the tooth, your bite and how well you look after your teeth.
