What is Restorative Dental Care?
Restorative dental care includes any procedure that aims to restore the normal function and appearance of your smile.
By repairing structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth, our dentists can help restore your smile – and your oral health.
Depending on your issue, the dentists at Crawford Dental Clinic will determine the right restorative treatment option for you.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are porcelain caps that are placed on top of teeth to restore their appearance and function. They can restore a discoloured or stained tooth and can be used to attach bridges, cover dental implants, or prevent a cracked or damaged tooth from worsening.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that are bonded to existing teeth or dental implants to replace a section of missing teeth. Bridges are custom-made and barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth and the bite between upper and lower teeth.
Dental Fillings
At Crawford Dental Clinic, we use composite (tooth-coloured) fillings to repair a cavity or tooth damage, like a crack. These fillings can withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing, and can be used on front and back teeth.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are artificial teeth used to replace one missing tooth or several in a row. They allow patients with missing teeth to maintain their face structure and talk and eat properly.
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are tooth-coloured porcelain fillings used to repair cavities when the damage is too extensive for a standard dental filling. They are custom-made in a dental laboratory and are then permanently cemented to the tooth.
Root Canals
A root canal is a procedure where the diseased blood vessels, nerves, and tissues are removed from the interior of a tooth. By removing the decay and bacteria, your dentist can help halt the spread of infection and prevent the need for an extraction.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues of the mouth, including the gums, gingiva, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. If the disease is caught in the early stages, preventive therapy will be recommended. Otherwise treatment methods will depend on the type and severity of the disease.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (or TMJ) is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull. The disorder of this joint can cause a host of issues with your jaw and the muscles in your face, including painful symptoms. Our dentists can test for, diagnose and provide a treatment plan for TMJ Disorder.
