Tooth-Colored Fillings
Tooth-coloured fillings are used to restore areas of decay or minor damage. Treatment is based on the condition of the tooth and clinical assessment.
- Material selected to match surrounding tooth structure
- Used for small to moderate areas of damage
- Placed during a clinical visit
- Ongoing care discussed as part of treatment
Crowns & Bridges
Crowns and bridges are used to restore damaged teeth or replace missing teeth as part of restorative treatment planning.
- Crown placed over a prepared tooth
- Bridge used to replace one or more missing teeth
- May involve more than one appointment
- Treatment planned based on individual needs
Same-Day Crowns
Digital imaging and chairside fabrication can restore a damaged tooth with a ceramic crown in a single visit when clinically appropriate.
- Tooth prepared and scanned in one appointment
- Crown milled and placed before you leave
- No temporary crown for many cases
- Laboratory crown still used when a more complex restoration is needed
Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used when a tooth requires more coverage than a filling but less than a full crown.
- Used for moderate tooth damage
- Custom-made based on the treated tooth
- Placed after preparation of the affected area
- Follow-up care discussed as part of treatment
Common Questions
When is restorative dental treatment recommended?
Restorative treatment may be recommended when teeth are affected by decay, damage, or tooth loss, based on clinical assessment.
What is the difference between fillings, crowns, and inlays/onlays?
These treatments differ based on how much of the tooth is affected. Fillings are typically used for smaller areas of damage, while crowns and inlays/onlays are used when more of the tooth structure requires restoration.
