Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings are used to restore areas of decay or minor damage. Treatment is based on the condition of the tooth and clinical assessment.
- Material selected to match surrounding tooth structure
- Used for small to moderate areas of damage
- Placed during a clinical visit
- Ongoing care discussed as part of treatment
Dental Crowns
A crown covers and protects a tooth that has been weakened by decay, a large filling, a crack, or root canal treatment.
- Crown placed over a prepared tooth
- Shaped and shaded to suit your bite and smile
- May involve more than one appointment
- Treatment planned based on individual needs
Dental Bridges
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching replacement teeth to the natural teeth or supports on either side of the gap.
- Fills the space left by a missing tooth
- Helps keep neighbouring teeth from shifting
- Usually completed over more than one appointment
- Suitability assessed at an exam
Inlays & Onlays
Custom restorations for moderate tooth damage that preserve more natural tooth structure than a full crown when appropriate.
- Used when damage is too large for a filling but a full crown may not be needed
- Fabricated to fit the prepared tooth
- Planned based on clinical assessment
Common Questions
When is restorative dental treatment recommended?
Restorative treatment may be recommended when teeth are affected by decay, damage, or tooth loss, based on clinical assessment.
What is the difference between fillings, crowns, and bridges?
These treatments differ based on how much of the tooth is affected. Fillings are typically used for smaller areas of damage. Crowns restore a tooth when more structure needs protection, and bridges replace a missing tooth by joining to neighbouring teeth.
