Restorative Dentistry to Repair and Protect Your Smile

Restorative dentistry at Aesthetic Dental focuses on repairing damaged teeth, replacing missing teeth and restoring comfort, function and confidence. When teeth are weakened by decay, trauma or wear, timely restorative treatment helps prevent further complications and protects your long-term oral health. Our approach is thorough, considered and tailored to each individual patient.

We aim to preserve natural teeth wherever possible while providing strong, long-lasting restorations. Every treatment recommendation is made with both function and aesthetics in mind, ensuring your smile looks natural and feels comfortable. Clear communication and patient choice are central to our restorative care philosophy.

Dental Crowns for Strength and Tooth Protection

Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, are used to cover teeth that are damaged, cracked, heavily filled, discoloured or have undergone root canal treatment. Crowns strengthen the remaining tooth structure and protect it from further cracking or breakage. In many cases, a crown can prevent the need for tooth extraction.

Tooth-Coloured Dental Fillings for Natural Results

Composite dental fillings are commonly used to repair teeth affected by decay or minor damage. These tooth-coloured fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and are suitable for both front and back teeth. They are also an excellent option for replacing older silver amalgam fillings.

Modern composite materials provide strength, durability, and an improved appearance. Fillings are placed with care to restore proper shape and function while maintaining comfort. Our goal is to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible during the process.

Tooth Extractions When Restoration Is Not Possible

In some cases, a tooth may be too damaged or decayed to be successfully restored. When this occurs, extraction may be the most appropriate option to protect surrounding teeth and prevent infection. We always explore restorative options first before recommending removal.

Extractions are carried out with a gentle and considered approach to minimise discomfort. Following removal, we discuss suitable tooth replacement options where appropriate to maintain function and prevent further oral health issues.

Root Canal Treatment to Save Infected Teeth

Root canal treatment is used to remove infection from within a tooth and preserve the remaining structure. This treatment can relieve pain, eliminate infection and prevent the need for extraction. Root canal therapy is often followed by placement of a crown for added strength and protection.

In some circumstances, we may refer patients to a trusted specialist for complex root canal treatment. This ensures you receive the highest standard of care for more advanced cases while maintaining continuity of treatment planning.
