Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged, decayed or worn teeth and replacing missing teeth with options such as fillings, crowns, bridges, onlays and dentures. Treatment is planned following an assessment of your oral health, bite and individual needs.
Restorative dentistry includes treatments used to repair damaged, decayed or worn teeth and replace missing teeth. Depending on your needs, this may include fillings, crowns, bridges, onlays or dentures.
Restorative treatment may help protect weakened teeth, replace missing teeth and support everyday functions such as biting and speaking. The most appropriate option depends on the condition of the teeth, gums and bite.
Your dentist will assess the affected teeth, discuss suitable options and explain the expected benefits, limitations and costs. Digital scans or dental imaging may be used where clinically appropriate to support treatment planning.
Tooth-coloured fillings may be used to repair teeth affected by decay, wear or selected minor damage. Your dentist will explain the material recommended for the tooth.
A crown may be recommended to protect and restore a heavily filled, damaged or weakened tooth. Selected crowns may be produced using the practice’s digital workflow, subject to clinical suitability.
A dental bridge may replace one or more missing teeth by using neighbouring teeth for support. Suitability depends on the condition of the supporting teeth and your bite.
An onlay is a custom-made restoration used to repair part of a damaged or weakened tooth when a filling may not provide enough support but a full crown may not be required.
Partial or full dentures may replace several or all missing teeth. Their design, fit and appearance are planned around your mouth, remaining teeth and treatment needs.

After treatment, your dentist will provide instructions based on the restoration completed. Good daily cleaning, appropriate interdental care and dental reviews can help maintain the supporting teeth and gums. Restorations may eventually require repair or replacement.
Restorative dentistry is not just about fixing problems — it's about restoring your quality of life and the confidence that comes with a fully functional, aesthetically pleasing smile.
