Restorative Dentistry


Restorative dentistry is a double edged sword- it aims to both manage oral health and address any dental problems that could be affecting the look, feel, or functionality of the mouth. Restorative dentistry addresses more than just dental problems, it strives to provide you with a future of great dental health. This practice is a way of ensuring that your teeth and mouth are restored to their healthiest, most beautiful state through a variety of procedures.

Restorative procedures
Restorative dentistry includes a wide range of dental procedures that aim to keep your mouth looking and feeling beautiful and healthy. Some common restorative dentistry practices include:

      Fillings- Fillings are used to fill in the space left behind by tooth decay or to fix cracked teeth. Fillings can be made out of a variety of materials, but all aim to keep teeth functional while preventing any further damage to the tooth. 

      Root canals- Also known as endodontic treatment, this procedure is used to salvage teeth that are greatly damaged due to decay or infection.  Root canals can greatly reduce pain caused by infection and aim to preserve as much of the natural tooth as possible.

      Crowns- Chipped, damaged, or cracked teeth can be treated with crowns, which cover the broken tooth and restore its functionality and appearance.  Crowns are made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, allowing them to keep your teeth looking great and feeling as strong as ever.

      Bridges- If one or more tooth is missing, a bridge can often be used to take its place. Bridges are advantageous because they are permanent and they can keep other teeth from shifting around in the empty space left by the missing teeth. 

      Dental implants- Implants are a great, and fairly new way of fixing missing teeth.  They are used to take the place of the roots of missing teeth, providing a foundation for replacement teeth.  Implants can be designed to match the look and feel of the surrounding teeth, which can improve the look, comfort, and functionality of the mouth.

Why should I choose restorative dentistry?
            Maintaining great oral hygiene can be difficult, especially if you have existing dental problems that affect the look, feel, and overall health of your mouth.  With the help of restorative dentistry, your mouth could return to its healthiest and most attractive state in no time at all.  Restorative dentistry can turn back the hands of time and ensure that your smile looks and stays at the top of its game.

  3. At South Airdrie Smiles, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality restorative dentistry treatments designed to enhance the oral health of patients whose teeth and gums have been damaged. However, when it comes to your oral health, the old saying that “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” really does ring true. As effective as modern restorative dentistry can be in returning form, function, and health to even the most badly damaged mouths, no dental treatment can surpass a mouth full of healthy natural teeth.
