Dental oral health problems can occur at any age & restorative dentistry can repair your damaged, decayed, and missing teeth. As your trusted Gungahlin Dentists, your dental health is our priority, and we can help you to renew your smile, enhance your appearance & regain the function, strength, natural look & feel of your teeth. Our goal is to optimise the integrity & longevity of your dental restorations & to protect your oral dental health by preventing any further damage or decay of your teeth. From updating ageing fillings to full mouth reconstruction, our Canberra Dentists provide a complete range of dental restoration procedures including:
Fillings:
A composite (white or tooth coloured) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc. The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed & then filled with a composite filling.
Crowns:
A Crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface restoring it to its original shape and size. A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations.
Bridges:
A Bridge is a device used to replace multiple missing teeth on one side of an arch. A bridge attaches artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth. Bridges are either permanently attached (fixed bridges), or they can be removable.
Veneers:
Veneers are of two types: Composite & Porcelain that can enhance your smile by straightening out misalignment of teeth in your arch, or to close spaces between teeth or for masking permanent tooth stains caused by ageing amalgam (silver) fillings etc. They are bonded onto the front of teeth to create a beautiful and attractive Hollywood smile.
Root Canal Therapy:
Root Canal Therapy (also known as Root Canal Treatment) is needed when the nerve of a tooth is affected by decay, abscess or infection. In order to save the tooth, the pulp (the living tissue inside the tooth), nerves, bacteria, and any decay are removed & the resulting space is filled with special, medicated, dental materials, which restore the tooth to its full function.
Dentures:
A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth & surrounding tissue. There are two types of dentures – full & partial dentures.
Inlays & Onlays:
When more than half of the tooth’s biting surface is damaged a dentist will often use an inlay or onlay.
An inlay restoration is a custom made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-coloured porcelain. Porcelain inlays are popular because they resemble your natural tooth. A porcelain inlay is made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented into the tooth by your dentist.
An onlay restoration is a custom made filling made of composite material, gold, or tooth-coloured porcelain. Porcelain onlays are popular because they resemble your natural tooth. An onlay is sometimes also referred to as a partial crown. Porcelain onlays are made by a professional dental laboratory and is permanently cemented onto the tooth by your Dentist.
