Restorative Dental Services
Repairing Structural Issues
Restorative dental care includes any procedure that aims to restore the normal function and appearance of your smile.
By repairing structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth, our dentists can help restore your smile – and your oral health.
Depending on your issue, the dentists at Dentistry on Liverpool will determine the right restorative treatment option for you.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues of the mouth, including the gums, gingiva, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. If the disease is caught in the early stages, preventive therapy will be recommended. Otherwise treatment methods will depend on the severity of the disease.
Full Dentures
If you're missing a whole jaw of teeth, full dentures can be used to help you maintain your facial structure, and to talk and eat properly. They can be fitted for your upper or lower gums, and are held in place by suction and/or with the help of an oral adhesive.
Partial Dentures
Your dentist will use partial dentures if you are missing more than a few teeth or if your surrounding teeth are not strong enough to support a dental bridge. Partial dentures are held in place by clasps that fit onto your natural teeth or a tooth replacement like a dental crown.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are porcelain caps that are placed on top of teeth to restore their function and appearance. Crowns are used to attach bridges, cover dental implants or prevent a cracked tooth from worsening. They can also help to restore a discoloured or stained tooth to its natural appearance.
Dental Bridges
Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that are bonded to existing teeth or dental implants to replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth and the bite between upper and lower teeth.
Dental Fillings
At Dentistry on Liverpool, we use composite (tooth-coloured) fillings to repair a cavity or tooth damage. These fillings can withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing, and can be used on front and back teeth.
Inlays
Inlays are tooth-coloured porcelain fillings used to repair cavities when the damage is too extensive for a standard dental filling. They are custom-made in a dental laboratory and are then permanently cemented to the tooth as a single piece.
Root Canals
A root canal is a procedure where your dentist removes diseased blood vessels, nerves and tissues from the interior of a tooth. By removing the decay and bacteria, your dentist can help halt the spread of infection and prevent the need for an extraction.
