The Treatment
What Does Restorative Dentistry Involve?
Your dentist examines your teeth, gums, and bite, and takes X-rays if needed. The goal is to repair a tooth when it can be saved, or to discuss a replacement if a tooth is missing or cannot be kept. Depending on the tooth, restorative care may include fillings, often tooth-coloured, to repair a cavity or a small area of damage; inlays or onlays, which may be used when a larger part of a tooth needs to be repaired (ask us whether this is right for you); crowns and bridges, to cover a weakened tooth or replace a missing one; root canal treatment, when the pulp inside a tooth is inflamed or infected; and dental implants or dentures when a tooth needs to be replaced. Your dentist will explain which of these, if any, may be suitable in your case, and treatment may take more than one visit.
Who Needs Restorative Dentistry?
People with a cavity, a cracked or worn tooth, a lost filling or crown, or a missing tooth. Your dentist will examine the area and talk with you about repair or replacement options.

FAQ
Restorative Dentistry FAQs
What Is Restorative Dentistry?
It is care that repairs damaged teeth or replaces missing teeth so your mouth can work more comfortably. It is planned around the condition of your teeth, not only around appearance.
What Is the Difference Between a Filling and a Crown?
A filling repairs a smaller area of a tooth. A crown covers more of the tooth when a filling would not be enough to restore its strength. Your dentist will recommend the option that suits the tooth.
Does Insurance Cover Restorative Treatment?
Coverage varies by plan and by the type of treatment. We direct-bill most private insurers and accept all dental insurance, including the CDCP, and we can help you check your coverage.
Can a Damaged Tooth Always Be Saved?
Not always. If the tooth cannot be repaired, your dentist will discuss extraction and ways to replace it. If the pulp is involved, root canal treatment may be an option first.
How Are Missing Teeth Replaced?
Options may include a bridge, a dental implant, or a denture. Your dentist can help you compare them.
