Restorative Treatments

Cosmetic dentistry is gaining popularity with more and more men and women wanting to make aesthetic changes to their smile by focusing on having perfect teeth. Teeth that are stained, decayed, chipped or fractured can be restored with simple whitening, fillings or in more advanced cases crowns and veneers.

Restorative treatments very often combine the expertise from at least 2 specialized fields in dentistry to achieve the desired result. Restorative treatments not only remove the underlying problems but also restore functions and aesthetics of the affected teeth. Restorative treatments such as root canal treatment (RCT) provide alternatives to tooth extractions. Cosmetic treatments such as crowns, restores the functions of the treated tooth.

Dentures
When natural teeth are lost, a denture is made to replace the missing teeth in the function of masticatory (eating), speech and aesthetic appearances. Dentures will fit on the saddle (gums) and keep the tongue and check in the correct position. Therefore, the patient will look more presentable. Find out more

Crown & Bridge
An anterior tooth with multiple tooth-colored fillings look very unnatural and as years go by ‘stain’ will appear because at the margin of the fillings. A very large filling on a posterior tooth can easily fracture and in many cases, the tooth can also fracture. In both instances, it is advisable to crown the teeth. A crown is a porcelain “cap” shaped like a tooth which is fixed to the tooth in order to restore the tooth and have a natural and more aesthetic look.

A bridge is two or more crowns fused together and is a fixed prosthesis, unlike a denture. A missing tooth can be replaced with a bridge. The advantages of bridge as compared to denture are that the patient will feel more comfortable because the artificial teeth will only be put at the residual alveolar ridge and soldered to two crowns that act as retainers on either side. There will be no involvement of palate or tongue space as in dentures that can alter the patients’ speech or masticators functions. Find out more
