What Is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is a branch of dental medicine that focuses on restoring damaged, decayed, or missing teeth to their original shape, size, and function. Our restorative treatments allow our London dentists to focus on repairing and maintaining your smile’s health, function, and appearance.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
- Improves Oral Health: Restorative dental treatments help to repair and prevent further damage to your teeth, gums, and jaw.
- Restores Smile: Damaged or missing teeth can negatively impact your appearance and self-esteem. Restorative dentistry can help restore the appearance of your smile.
- Prevents Future Issues: Treating damaged or decayed teeth with restorative procedures can prevent future issues, such as gum disease, jaw problems, and tooth loss.
- Maintains Bite and Chewing Function: Restored teeth can help maintain proper bite function and allow you to chew and speak properly.
Ideal Candidate for Restorative Dentistry
Anyone with damaged, decayed, or missing teeth can be a candidate for restorative dentistry. However, your dentist will determine if restorative treatment is the best option for you after thoroughly evaluating your oral health.
Our Restorative Treatments
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges replace one or more missing teeth by creating a bridge between two healthy teeth. Bridges can be made of materials such as porcelain, ceramic, metal alloys, or a combination of these materials and are bonded onto surrounding teeth for support. We can attach them to natural teeth or dental implants for more stability.
- Check for any problems you may not see or feel
- Look for cavities or any other signs of tooth decay
- Inspect your teeth and gums for gingivitis
- Check for signs of periodontal disease
- Perform thorough teeth cleaning
Dentures
Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace multiple missing teeth. They’re often made of acrylic or porcelain and can be customized to match the color of your natural teeth. There are two types of dentures: full and partial.
- Full dentures are given to patients when all natural teeth have been removed.
- Partial dentures are attached to a metal frame that’s connected to your natural teeth and used to fill in the missing gaps.
Our London dentist can also secure dentures with dental implants for added stability.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a natural-looking, permanent solution for missing teeth. They’re surgically placed into the jawbone to provide a stable base for a replacement tooth. With dental implant treatment, you can smile confidently, knowing no one will ever suspect you have a replacement tooth.
Implants may also anchor dentures, especially with lower dentures that tend to shift when you talk or chew. For patients with removable partial dentures, implants can replace missing teeth and provide a more natural-looking smile. We can use implants to support single crowns or bridges.
CEREC
CEREC is a cutting-edge technology that revolutionizes restorative dentistry. With CEREC, dentists can restore damaged teeth with custom ceramic restorations in just one visit! CEREC is durable, long-lasting, and natural-looking restorations made with precision using CAD/CAM technology. Transform your smile with CEREC restorative dentistry.

Your dentist will provide you with local anesthesia or sedation to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

▼How long does restorative dentistry take to complete?
The time it takes to complete restorative dentistry depends on the type of treatment you receive. For example, dental bridges and dentures can typically be completed in a few visits, while dental implants may require several months to complete. Your dentist will provide you with your treatment plan and the estimated timeline it takes to complete your treatment.
▼How long do restorative dental treatments last?
The lifespan of restorative dental treatments varies, depending on factors such as:
- The type of treatment
