What are my options for restoring a broken or decayed tooth?

If you have a broken or decayed tooth, there are several treatment options available depending on the extent of damage:

Dental Fillings

For minor decay or small fractures, a filling may be sufficient. The decayed portion is removed andclose up of dental crown replaced with a composite filling material, colour-matched to your teeth.

Dental Crowns in Reservoir

If a significant portion of the tooth is damaged, but the root is still intact, a dental crown in Reservoir (or cap) can be used. Same-day dental crowns are available for this, and It covers and protects the tooth, restoring its shape, size and function.

Root Canal Therapy

A root canal may be necessary if decay reaches the tooth's pulp (innermost part). The damaged pulp is removed, we clean and seal the tooth, and a crown is usually placed over it.

Dental Implants

If the tooth is severely damaged and cannot be saved, it might need extraction. An implant can replace the extracted tooth, providing a robust, long-lasting solution.

Dental Bridge

Another option is to replace a missing tooth. Bridges use adjacent teeth as anchors with a false tooth in between.

Partial Dentures

A removable option for replacing some missing teeth.
