Restorative Dentistry in Black Rock
At Bayside Smiles, our focus is on our patient's long-term health; this includes ensuring their teeth are healthy through restorative dentistry.
Restorative dentistry is aimed at helping patients regain the form and function of their teeth if something is amiss, including tooth decay and root canal infections. This is done with treatments such as basic dental fillings to more complex treatments like dentures and dental implants. Our team of Melbourne dentists are constantly studying the latest methods and techniques to provide you with the best dentistry has to offer. Our treatments are geared towards helping you keep your teeth and maintain optimal oral health for life.
Some of our restorative dentistry options include:
- Fillings
- Root Canal Therapy
- Crowns & Bridges
- Dentures
Restorative Dentistry from Bayside Smiles
Don't put up with chipped, cracked, broken or missing teeth. If you want to restore the appearance and function of your smile with long-lasting and durable solutions, we can help. Not only do treatments like dental crowns and bridges restore function by replacing a tooth (bridge) or capping a tooth (dental crown), but they also look and feel like natural teeth.
Dental Implants vs Dentures
Each treatment has pros and cons; the most significant deciding factors are your oral health, budget, lifestyle, and desired outcome. For example, dental implants and dentures replace missing teeth, but dental implants provide a whole tooth replacement, from root to crown. On the other hand, dentures can replace an entire row of teeth at a fraction of the cost.
When you visit Bayside Smiles in Melbourne, our friendly dental team will assess your oral health and determine the best options for your needs and goals. They will then present you with these options and allow you to make an informed decision.
Dental Crowns Following Root Canal Treatment
We perform root canal treatment if you have an infection in the canal of your tooth. Typically, these infections are painful and require an emergency dental visit to eliminate pain, restore your tooth, and stop the swelling.
Your dentist performs root canal therapy under anesthesia, so you'll not feel pain. Then we remove the infected tissue from the tooth canal and close it temporarily. At a future appointment, we typically cap it with a dental crown to restore function and prevent future damage. In rare cases, if the infection is minor, we can use a dental filling instead.
Regular dental care and expert oral hygiene can lower your risk for tooth root infections.
