Restorative Dentistry Gold Coast
Our restorative dentistry on the Gold Coast caters to those affected by dental decay. This is a common yet preventable condition.
A significant culprit behind cavities is the consumption of sugary foods and drinks, combined with insufficient oral hygiene practices. Individuals may first notice the onset of decay through an increased sensitivity to sweet or cold foods and a distinct darkening of the tooth’s surface.
Such early warning signs should prompt a visit to a restorative dentist such as iSmile Dental Clinic who can intervene with appropriate treatments to preserve the natural dentition and maintain oral health.
Types of restorations:
- White (composite) fillings
- Ceramic fillings
- Crowns
White fillings are adhesive fillings that are used to repair teeth affected by decay, crack or fractures.
Porcelain fillings otherwise known as inlays or onlays are an alternative restoration to composite fillings.
Ideal candidates for inlay or onlay work typically have too much damage or decay in the tooth structure to be successfully treated using a composite filling, but have sufficient healthy tooth remaining to avoid the need for a crown.
Crowns are used to protect and strengthen heavily filled teeth and restore damaged, decayed or broken teeth. They are placed over the tooth restoring it to its original shape, size and colour.
At iSmile Dental Centre we provide high quality restorations and offer advice and tips you can introduce into your daily routine to help prevent the need for future restorations. Call (07) 5510 8696 today and take the first step towards a “Healthy Smile, Beautiful Smile”.
