About this treatment

Rebuilding teeth that look and feel like yours.

Restorative dentistry repairs teeth damaged by decay, cracks, injury or wear. The aim is to restore their strength and shape while keeping as much of the natural tooth as possible.

Depending on how much tooth is affected, we may recommend a filling, an inlay or onlay, a crown or, if the nerve is involved, root canal treatment. Treating problems early usually means simpler, less costly care.
