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 and
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.
