Restorative Dentistry in Toronto

A dental crown, also known as a cap, is a hollow artificial tooth used to cover and protect a damaged or decayed tooth. A crown can restore the appearance and function of your teeth and be made from different materials, depending on what’s right for you.

A bridge is a dental restoration technique used to fill the gap of one or more missing teeth. It uses a crown on each end as an anchor with an artificial tooth fused between. This way, the artificial tooth can be securely held in place.

Once the bridge is in place, it works just like your natural teeth, restoring your bite and smile.

A dental implant can be used to replace teeth that are missing or need to be removed due to damage or decay. Dental implants consist of 2 parts: a metal anchor and an artificial tooth.

The metal anchor is surgically inserted into the jawbone which replaces the natural root. The artificial tooth is then securely attached to the anchor and can function just like your natural teeth.

Inlays and onlays can be used if your hygienist finds tooth decay or damage.

An inlay is a pre-moulded filling that fits into the grooves of your teeth, typically used for cavities that are centred in your tooth. If the damage has spread in between the teeth to the outer edges or biting surface, an onlay is used. An onlay, also known as a partial crown, is created outside the mouth before being cemented onto the tooth.
