What is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is a specialised branch of dental care that focuses on restoring the health, function, and aesthetics of your teeth.

Whether you require fillings, crowns, bridges, or implants, restorative dentistry aims to bring balance, functionality, and a beautiful appearance back to your smile.

Our approach at Bayside Family Dentistry ensures that every procedure not only repairs and protects your teeth but also enhances your overall dental health and smile aesthetics.

How much tooth damage can we restore?

The extent of tooth restoration depends on the severity and duration of the damage. In some cases, full reversal of tooth damage is possible, particularly if the exposure to harmful conditions, like acidity, has been short-lived. The natural buffering action of saliva can often prevent significant damage if intervention is timely. However, prolonged exposure to acidic environments can lead to irreversible damage to tooth enamel, resulting in decay.

For minor issues such as chipped teeth, a simple filling may suffice. However, the more extensive the damage, the more protection the tooth will require to prevent further fractures. It’s important not to delay treatment; untreated damage can worsen over time, leading to more complex and costly dental issues. If you’re unsure about the condition of your teeth, contact us for advice or to book a consultation.

Our Procedures

All on 4

All on 4 is a procedure replacing a failing dentition with 4 to 6 implants which holds a full set of prosthetic teeth. This not only gives full function back, but fundamentally improves confidence and self-esteem. For most patients, it is life changing.

Root Canals

Root canal treatment is a procedure needed when the nerve centre of the tooth has become infected or has died, and the only way to save the tooth from extraction, is to have this treatment.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges offer a non-implant solution for replacing missing teeth. This procedure involves crowning the teeth on either side of the gap to support a faux tooth, effectively restoring your smile and dental function.

Dental Crowns & Caps

Dental crowns, often referred to as caps, act as protective coverings for teeth that are severely damaged or fractured. They encapsulate the entire tooth, restoring its strength and function.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are a stable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. These titanium or zirconia screws are inserted into the jawbone, providing a secure base for the replacement tooth.

Dentures

Dentures are a cost effective method of replacing teeth in a short period of time. They can be used as an interim option after a tooth is lost and can be worn to keep the space for the implant and of course to maintain aesthetics.

Frequently Asked Questions
regarding Restorative Dentistry

When it comes to dental health, there is no substitute for restorative dentistry. Addressing broken or damaged teeth is essential to prevent further complications. Ignoring dental issues can lead to additional strain on surrounding teeth, which may eventually fail as well. Timely intervention is crucial to maintaining a healthy, functional smile.

Neglecting dental issues can be far more costly in the long run than investing in restorative treatments. Early intervention not only saves you time and money but also preserves your overall dental health. Remember, prevention is always better than cure, but if problems do arise, acting quickly is the best course of action.

Absolutely! We offer a variety of dental payment plans to make your treatment more affordable.

For amounts up to $1000, you can apply for Zippay, while Zipmoney is available for larger amounts above $1000.

Additionally, we are partnered with Denticare, providing you with flexible payment options that can ease the financial burden of necessary treatments, whether it’s your child’s orthodontic care or that crown you’ve been putting off.
