RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

Missing teeth, silver or amalgam fillings or infected teeth can truly affect your smile.

If you have silver or amalgam fillings, you can now opt to replace them with tooth coloured composite resin fillings designed to match the shade of your natural teeth. Mercury found in sliver fillings may be related to metal toxicity in the body, so if you’re concerned about the level of mercury in your fillings, please contact Highstreet Dental for an appointment.

If your tooth is infected, a root canal may be a viable alternative to simply extracting the tooth. If possible, it is always best to try to save your tooth, and root canals are now relatively painless, efficient dental treatments.

Missing teeth may put you more at risk for infections, gum disease or osteoporosis and bone loss. Our dental professionals at Highstreet Dental offer you the option of bridges or dental implants.

Bridges are a type of partial denture attached to adjacent teeth, and can help the remainder of your teeth from misaligning. Dental implants are another popular restorative dentistry treatment. An implant consists of a false tooth or teeth attached to bio-compatible titanium screw which is placed in the jaw, and has the added benefit of helping to prevent the bone loss associated with missing teeth.

If you have any questions about how modern restorative dentistry can help improve your smile, or if you would like to book an appointment, contact Highstreet Dental at your earliest convenience.
