Restore the Look & Function of Your Teeth
Restorative dental care is an umbrella term used to describe any procedure that aims to restore the normal function and appearance of your teeth, gums and oral structures.
By repairing structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth, your dentist can restore both the appearance and function of your smile—and work towards reestablishing good oral health.
Depending on your specific oral health issue, the dentists at Kingswood Dentistry will work with you to determine the right restorative treatment option for you.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are caps made from porcelain, metal or resin, that are placed on top of teeth to restore their function and appearance. Crowns are used to attach bridges, cover dental implants, or repair a cracked or badly damaged tooth. They can also help to return a discoloured tooth to its natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
A bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. Bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth and the bite between upper and lower teeth.
Root Canals
A root canal is a procedure performed by your dentist to remove diseased blood vessels, nerves, and tissues from the interior of an infected tooth. By removing the decay and bacteria, your dentist can help halt the spread of infection, alleviate pain, and prevent the need for an extraction.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues of the mouth, including the gums, gingiva, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. If the disease is caught early, non-surgical therapy may be recommended to begin the healing process and prevent the condition from worsening. More advanced gum disease may require invasive treatment and will depend on the type and severity of your specific case.
Dental Fillings
We use composite (tooth-coloured) fillings to repair imperfections left by decay and tooth damage such as cavities and cracks. These fillings can withstand moderate pressure from the stress of chewing and can be used on front and back teeth.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures can be a cost-effective way to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. Full and partial dentures allow patients with missing teeth to maintain the natural contour of their face, speak and eat properly, and regain confidence in their smile.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are tooth-coloured porcelain fillings used to repair cavities when the damage is too severe for a standard dental filling. First, they are custom-made in a dental laboratory, then they are permanently cemented to the tooth as a single piece.
