Our Toronto Dental practice offers a full range of Restorative Dentistry services.  A comprehensive oral examination may reveal unhealthy tooth structure, breakdown of existing dental restorations and damage caused by missing and poorly positioned teeth.  There are many restorative options available to replace tooth structure lost to decay and fracture.  These include;

Tooth coloured composite restorations

Composite filling material is regularly used to restore small sections of lost tooth structure.  After decay is removed, composite is applied in a viscous form, is cured to a hardened state and carved to blend with the adjacent and opposing teeth.

Tooth restoration including inlays, onlays and crowns

When a larger section of a tooth is lost a solid restoration can be constructed to replace the missing piece.  When the majority of a tooth is affected the ‘crown’ can be replaced in its entirety.  There are many materials and treatment options available and we will provide the information you need to make your informed decision.

Tooth replacement with dental implants, fixed bridgework or removable dentures

Missing teeth can have a debilitating effect on your self-confidence as well as on the other teeth in your mouth.  They can be replaced by;

• Dental Implants are artificial “roots” that are placed in the spaces left by missing teeth.  They integrate with your bone and then support a variety of tooth replacement options.  Fixed crowns, bridgework, or ‘anchored’ removable dentures (that snaps securely into place) can support your other teeth, retain healthy bone and restore your smile and confidence.
• Fixed bridgework replaces missing teeth by suspending an artificial tooth from crowns on adjacent teeth.  This is an excellent option when the adjacent teeth benefit from restoration as well.
• Removable bridgework (dentures) can often effectively and comfortably replace any or all missing teeth.

The approach our Toronto Dental office has to Restorative Dentistry is to maintain as much healthy tooth structure as possible and to restore where required.  We will advise you of all available options and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision.
