Restoration Dentistry in Edmonton

Over time, plaque can eat holes into your teeth called cavities. Left unattended, these cavities can grow progressively worse, resulting in significant decay and possibly infection. These cavities are treated by drilling the decayed part of the tooth away and replacing it with a composite filling. Composite fillings are tooth-coloured pieces made from a combination of plastic and glass. The filling should restore your tooth to its natural shape while preventing any further decay.

Porcelain inlays and onlays are custom-made and shaped inserts designed to fit inside a prepared tooth. These inserts are then bonded to further prevent decay while simultaneously stabilising the structure of the tooth. Inlays and onlays are typically used in teeth with exceptionally large cavities, or teeth that have been structurally compromised.
