RESTORATIONS
Dental restoration focuses on repairing damaged or decayed teeth using modern techniques to restore their shape, function and appearance. Bring your smile back to life with our expert tooth restoration services – fast, comfortable, and long-lasting results.
Composite restoration
Composite fillings have a more natural appearance than other options. The composite material can be customized to match the shade of your tooth, so they’re almost unnoticeable to anyone who glances at your mouth.
Ceramic
Ceramic fillings, which incorporate a type of porcelain, also tend to be pretty long-lasting, with an expected lifespan of as much as 15 years. But they’re not very commonly used, tend to be very expensive, and also require a two-visit process.
Glass ionomer restoration
Glass ionomer fillings are made with a glass filler. Like composite resin fillings, glass ionomer fillings are tooth-colored and can be shaded to blend in with a person’s teeth. This means they’ll be less obtrusive than an amalgam filling. They also release fluoride, which lessens the chance of a new cavity forming. But they’re also less durable than amalgam fillings and will not last as many years. Also, they may not be appropriate for large cavities.
Amalgam restoration (silver)
These were the most commonly used type of filling for many years, and they’re still widely used in many parts of the world. They’re very durable and may last about 15 years.Plus, the process is relatively simple since the dentist doesn’t have to worry about keeping the tooth clean and dry during the installation. They also cost less than other materials used in dental restorations. But their popularity has waned in recent years. Since they’re not tooth-colored, they don’t look as natural.
