Restorative Dentistry in Coventry
If you've suffered a broken tooth, decay or tooth loss, restorative dentistry can help to restore function and prevent further damage to your oral health. This includes private and NHS dentistry.
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry concerned with preserving function. If you have a broken tooth, a decaying tooth or a missing tooth, restorative treatments will help to restore your bite and your smile. This is important as gaps in your smile, chips and decaying teeth can all have a negative impact on your wider oral health. We offer restorative dental treatments such as fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays, and bridges to help restore your smile and avoid issues in the future.
Crowns
Protect and restore strength to teeth with a custom porcelain crown. This treatment is commonly used after root canal therapy to protect the tooth from damage, but it can also be used following extensive decay, chips or cracks.
Inlays and Onlays
Custom porcelain inlays and onlays are required to restore a tooth when a filling wouldn't be enough but a crown would be too much. Inlays sit in the cusp of the tooth while onlays sit over the edge, covering one or more cusps.
Bridges
The simplest way to replace a missing tooth. A bridge uses one or two crowns attached to surrounding teeth to support a pontic (artificial tooth). You will be able to smile, speak and chew with confidence again.
Smile Makeovers
Achieve a dramatic transformation and address the issues that are damaging your confidence. This treatment plan could include a wide range of treatments including orthodontics, whitening, composite bonding and dental implants.
Benefits of restorative dentistry
