Types of Tooth Restoration We Offer

Dental Fillings

Fillings are one of the most common forms of tooth restoration used to treat cavities. We offer composite (tooth-coloured) fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring the strength and appearance of the affected tooth. These fillings are durable, long-lasting, and ideal for treating cavities in both the front and back teeth.

Dental Crowns

A dental crown is a cap that is placed over a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its size, shape, and strength. Crowns are often used for teeth that are cracked, severely decayed, or after a root canal treatment. At Lansdowne Place Dental, we offer both traditional and same-day crowns using advanced CEREC technology. Same-day crowns allow for faster treatment, with no need for a second visit or temporary crowns.

Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) held in place by crowns on the adjacent teeth. A bridge helps restore your ability to chew and speak properly, as well as improve the appearance of your smile. Dr. Yoon will ensure your bridge fits comfortably and securely for long-term results.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. An implant consists of a titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as a foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants look and function like natural teeth, providing a strong and stable replacement that restores your smile and supports long-term oral health.

Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. Veneers are ideal for fixing issues such as discolouration, chips, cracks, or slight misalignment. They are highly durable and provide a natural-looking result that can dramatically improve your smile.

Tooth Bonding

Dental bonding is a quick, affordable way to restore teeth that are chipped, cracked, or discoloured. A tooth-coloured resin is applied to the damaged tooth, sculpted into the desired shape, and hardened with a special light. Bonding is ideal for minor cosmetic issues and can often be completed in a single visit.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

For patients with extensive dental issues, a full mouth reconstruction may be necessary to restore both the function and appearance of the teeth. This comprehensive treatment plan may involve a combination of restorative procedures, including crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, and gum treatment. Dr. Yoon will develop a personalized plan based on your specific needs to restore your smile and oral health.

The Tooth Restoration Process: What to Expect

Consultation and Evaluation

The first step in the tooth restoration process is a thorough consultation with Dr. Yoon. During this visit, we will assess the condition of your teeth and discuss your restoration goals. We may take X-rays or digital scans to evaluate the extent of the damage or decay and determine the best restoration option for you.

Treatment Plan

Based on your evaluation, Dr. Yoon will recommend a customized treatment plan. We will discuss the various options, including the benefits, costs, and expected timeline for your restoration. Whether you need a filling, crown, or more complex treatments like implants or veneers, we’ll ensure you fully understand the process.

Procedure

Once your treatment plan is in place, we will begin the restoration process. For fillings or bonding, the procedure is typically completed in a single visit. Crowns, bridges, and implants may require more than one appointment, but we’ll ensure your treatment is as quick and efficient as possible.

Aftercare and Maintenance

After your restoration, Dr. Yoon will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your new restoration. This may include tips on oral hygiene, dietary restrictions, or follow-up visits. Maintaining regular dental checkups and good home care is essential to ensuring the long-term success of your restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental restorations last?

The lifespan of dental restorations depends on the type of treatment used and how well you care for them. Fillings typically last 5-10 years, crowns and bridges can last 10-15 years, and dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime with proper care.

Is the tooth restoration procedure painful?

Tooth restoration procedures are generally not painful. For most treatments, we use local anesthesia to numb the area and ensure you remain comfortable. After the procedure, you may experience some mild discomfort, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

How much does tooth restoration cost?

The cost of tooth restoration depends on the specific treatment required. Fillings and bonding are generally more affordable, while crowns, bridges, and dental implants may cost more due to the complexity of the procedures. Dr. Yoon will provide a detailed estimate of costs and discuss payment options and insurance coverage during your consultation.

Can tooth restoration improve the appearance of my smile?

Yes! Many restorative treatments, like veneers, crowns, and dental bonding, not only restore the function of your teeth but also improve their appearance. If you’re looking to enhance your smile, Dr. Yoon can recommend the best treatments to achieve a natural, beautiful result.

Are dental restorations covered by insurance?

Many dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost of restorative treatments, especially if they are deemed medically necessary. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your coverage. Our team is also happy to help you navigate insurance claims and offer flexible financing options if needed.
