Modern dental restorations let us restore the strength and appearance of teeth that have been damaged. Your comfort is always our main priority, so we try to ensure that we provide the right restoration for your needs. Fillings Fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay. We also use them to restore teeth that have been damaged. They can be made from metal amalgam or tooth-coloured composite material. Once they’re in place, fillings protect your teeth from further decay. Crowns Dental crowns fit over injured or discoloured teeth to completely restore their function and appearance. Our crowns are made to match the shape and colour of your natural teeth. Inlays & Onlays Inlays and onlays, also called partial crowns, are similar in function to fillings. They’re used to repair teeth that can’t support a filling. Once they’re in place, the inlays restore the structure of the tooth. Bridges Dental bridges are a restoration that replaces missing teeth. Most bridges consist of one or multiple artificial replacement teeth that are attached to dental crowns. The crowns are placed over the natural teeth on either side of the gap left by the missing tooth. The bridge will restore the function and appearance of the missing teeth when it is in place. Restore your beautiful smile today. Call us to make an appointment.
What’s involved
- Tooth-coloured composite fillings for decay and small fractures.
- Crowns for teeth that are cracked, heavily filled or root-treated.
- Bridges and inlays/onlays where a crown alone is not the right answer.
- Old metal fillings replaced when they are failing or you want the colour matched.
- Bite checked at the end of every restoration — a filling that is high is a filling that hurts.
Dental Restorations questions we get
How long does a filling last?
Composite fillings commonly last 5–10 years or more depending on where they are and how hard you bite.
Do I need a crown or is a filling enough?
It is a question of how much sound tooth is left and how much force the tooth takes. We show you the X-ray and explain the trade-off.
Can I eat after a filling?
After a composite filling you can usually eat once the numbness has gone. We will tell you if there are any restrictions.
