Reclaim Your Beautiful, Functional Smile with Restorative Dentistry
Do you have missing or damaged teeth? Restorative dentistry in Flinders, Victoria, can help you regain your smile’s appearance and full functionality. Flinders Dental Practice offers personalised restorative treatments to make your smile whole again. Whether you need a single-tooth repair or a full-mouth restoration, we provide dental crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures tailored to your needs.
What does restorative dentistry at Flinders Dental Practice entail?
Although teeth can last a lifetime, they just can’t keep up sometimes. Injuries, infections, and neglect can compromise their health, diminishing their function and aesthetics. Luckily, restorative dentistry can restore your smile to its healthy self.
The following are the restorative treatments available in our office.
- Dental fillings: Our composite fillings repair cavities and minor tooth damage without leaving any traces of dental work. Placing composite fillings is minimally invasive, and only one appointment is required.
- Dental crowns: Crowns are tooth-shaped caps worn over teeth to improve their function and appearance. They repair damaged teeth and can be paired with implants and bridges to replace missing teeth. Our office provides same-day dental crowns. Unlike traditional crowns, CEREC technology helps us crown your tooth in a single appointment.
- Bridges: A bridge is a simple and conservative way to replace a few missing teeth. It consists of custom-made artificial teeth (pontics) designed to fill the gap seamlessly. The bridge is anchored securely with dental crowns placed on the surrounding support teeth to ensure stability while eating and speaking.
- Dental implants: Whether you have lost one or multiple teeth, dental implants are the best option for replacing them. Dental implants are secured in the jawbone, providing root stability when using your teeth. Dental implants also last many years, look natural, and stimulate the jawbone to maintain its height and volume.
- Full-mouth rehabilitation: This comprehensive plan is ideal for resolving severe ongoing issues. Full mouth restoration combines several restorative treatments to restore your smile to its full function.
What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry helps prevent dental problems from worsening. Think of it like fixing a leaky pipe in the house. If left unattended, the leak can grow, causing water damage, mould, and costly repairs. Similarly, a chipped tooth, cavity, or missing tooth can lead to more significant dental concerns, such as tooth shifting, jawbone loss, gum disease, or bite misalignment, if not addressed promptly.
Here are the summarised benefits of restorative dentistry.
- Enhanced oral function: Addressing dental issues allows you to enjoy your favourite foods without discomfort or limitations. You are no longer limited to easy-to-chew foods. Similarly, restorative dental care restores your natural speaking ability, eliminating lisps and slurred speech.
- Improved aesthetics: Restorative treatments repair damaged or missing teeth, transforming your overall appearance. A complete, healthy smile can make you look younger, happier, and more vibrant.
- Boosted confidence: A functional, attractive smile empowers you to feel self-assured at work, social events, and everywhere you go.
- Greater comfort: Decayed or damaged teeth often cause pain and sensitivity. Restorative dentistry eliminates these issues, enhancing comfort and overall quality of life.
Does your smile need repair?
