Restorative Dentistry in Edmonton

Restorative Dentistry Services

Restorative treatments vary depending on the extent of damage to a tooth. Minor concerns may be addressed with fillings, while more extensive damage or tooth loss may require crowns, bridges, or custom restorations.

• Tooth-Coloured Fillings
• Crowns & Bridges
• Inlays & Onlays

A conservative approach

Our team at Londonderry Dental Centre II works to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. Treatment options are discussed openly so you can make informed decisions about your care.

If you have questions about a specific restorative treatment, our team is happy to walk you through what to expect before any work begins.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

Tooth-coloured fillings are used to restore areas of decay or minor damage. Treatment is based on the condition of the tooth and clinical assessment.

• Material selected to match surrounding tooth structure
• Used for small to moderate areas of damage
• Placed during a clinical visit
• Ongoing care discussed as part of treatment

Crowns & Bridges

Crowns and bridges are used to restore damaged teeth or replace missing teeth as part of restorative treatment planning.

• Crown placed over a prepared tooth
• Bridge used to replace one or more missing teeth
• May involve more than one appointment
• Treatment planned based on individual needs

Inlays & Onlays

Inlays and onlays are custom restorations used when a tooth requires more coverage than a filling but less than a full crown.

• Used for moderate tooth damage
• Custom-made based on the treated tooth
• Placed after preparation of the affected area
• Follow-up care discussed as part of treatment

Common Questions

When is restorative dental treatment recommended?

Restorative treatment may be recommended when teeth are affected by decay, damage, or tooth loss, based on clinical assessment.

What is the difference between fillings, crowns, and inlays/onlays?

These treatments differ based on how much of the tooth is affected. Fillings are typically used for smaller areas of damage, while crowns and inlays/onlays are used when more of the tooth structure requires restoration.
