Restoring Strength and Function to your smile
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to bring back your smile’s natural appearance and strength. Common restorative treatments include fillings, crowns, bridges, and implants, all designed to improve function, prevent future dental issues, and enhance confidence.
These treatments help maintain proper alignment, prevent plaque buildup, and preserve your oral health for the long term. At Colborne Family Dental, we combine advanced materials with precise craftsmanship to restore your teeth and protect your smile for years to come.
Protect and Strengthen a Damaged Tooth
A dental crown is a custom-made restoration that fits over a tooth that has been weakened by decay, fracture, or extensive dental work. It covers the entire visible portion of the tooth above the gumline, restoring its strength, shape, and appearance.
Crowns can be made from several materials, including porcelain, gold, or ceramic blends. Today, most crowns are made from white-based ceramics such as zirconia for exceptional durability and a natural look. Zirconia crowns can also be layered with porcelain to achieve outstanding aesthetics while maintaining strength. The treatment process typically includes:
- Numbing and preparing the tooth by removing any decay.
- Shaping the tooth for a precise crown fit.
- Taking an impression or digital scan to create a custom crown.
- Placing a temporary crown to protect your tooth while the final one is made.
- Fitting and cementing the permanent crown once it’s ready.
Replacing Missing Teeth with Long-Lasting Results
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, that fill the gap and are anchored to neighbouring teeth or dental implants for stability. Bridges not only restore appearance but also improve chewing, speech, and alignment.
Bridges can be made from durable materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal alloys. Porcelain is often preferred for visible areas because it can be colour-matched to your natural teeth for a smooth, lifelike result. Common types of dental bridges include:
- Traditional Fixed Bridge: The most common type, supported by crowns on the teeth next to the gap.
- Resin-Bonded Bridge: Often used for front teeth, this bridge uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth for a conservative solution.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: Anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth, offering maximum stability and bone preservation.
- Cantilever Bridge: Used when only one natural tooth is available next to the missing area, anchoring the bridge on a single side.
