Restorative dentistry includes the services we provide to help restore your teeth so that they function effectively. Whether you have chipped a tooth or experienced tooth loss due to trauma or decay, our goal is to repair the damage and restore the function and appearance of your smile. The most common reasons patients seek restorative dentistry include:
Advancements in dental technology allow dentists to utilise robust restorative materials such as composite resin-based fillings or porcelain materials for dental crowns. These modern materials enable dental restorations to be durable while mimicking the appearance of natural teeth.

*Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.

Partnered with Straumann
If you are missing one or more teeth, dental implants offer a long-term option for tooth replacement. Dental implants are designed to function and appear similar to natural teeth, providing a stable solution for tooth loss.
We utilise Straumann implants, a well-established system in implant dentistry. Known for their precision and extensive clinical research, Straumann implants are a reliable option for our restorative procedures.Bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. It is a fixed restoration that consists of two dental crowns, normally fitted to the adjacent teeth next to the space made by the missing tooth. These crowns behave as the abutments or pillars of the bridge and the replacement tooth is in-between closing the gap.
This type of restoration is permanently cemented in place. They can be fabricated using a number of different materials such as gold, precious metal alloys, porcelain, or even metal-fused-to-porcelain for the added benefit of aesthetics with strength.
Crowns
Crowns are caps that are placed over an existing tooth to reinforce the tooth structure. They are generally made from porcelain and porcelain-metal combinations, depending on your clinical needs. These porcelain dental crowns are colour-matched to your existing teeth and sculpted with precision to be seated over the tooth. They offer a functional solution to recreating the form and integrity of a damaged tooth.Dentures
Removable dentures are commonly used tooth replacement options that are generally more affordable and quicker to fabricate than fixed implant options. Dentures are removable and help replicate the function of natural teeth by replacing both the soft and hard oral components. A base plate mimics the soft tissue or gum, and false teeth act as the replacements.
Dentures come in two main types: partial dentures for a few missing teeth, and complete dentures for fully edentulous individuals.Dental Advancements in Restorative Dentistry
