FILLINGS
A good dental hygiene routine will help to keep your teeth in great condition, but sometimes decay can occur and lead to cavities. The best way to fix a cavity is remove the decayed section of the tooth and repair it with dental fillings.
Different kinds of fillings serve varying situations. We can help you identify the problem, remove the issue and fill your tooth with the appropriate material to restore normal function.
Signs that you might need a filling include:
- Cold or sugar sensitivity
- Pain or aching in or near a tooth
- A noticeable hole in the tooth, either visible or felt
Many problems that are treatable with fillings are preventable. Practice good dental hygiene and go for regular check-ups to spot issues ahead of time and treat them before they cause decay or cavities.
If you think a filling may help alleviate your dental issues, book an appointment at McDonald Dental.
CROWN & BRIDGE WORK
Bridges and crowns are dental pieces that help you fill any gaps left by missing teeth or to strengthen weak and broken teeth.
Dentists place crowns overtop teeth that are weak, cracked, broken or heavily filled. If you've been through treatment for a root canal, a crown may also be appropriate to keep the tooth from getting damaged further.
Bridges help you replace missing teeth with a custom-made insert. You can replace one or multiple teeth with the same bridge piece.
IMPLANTS
Unlike bridgework, dental implants allow you to correct your teeth, jaw and gums with a fixed implant. The goal is to help you feel as if you have your natural teeth still in place. Implants are fully functional and look great.

DENTURES
Our office provides both removable and implant retained dentures. Full and partial dentures are a way to replace missing teeth and restore function in the event of significant tooth loss. Dentures comfortable and customised to fit your exact needs and situation. We have more information about dentures on our website.
INLAYS & ONLAYS
For complete treatment of cavities or decay, inlays and onlays are an alternative. These are similar to fillings in that they cover areas of decay and cavities, but they do so in a more complete way. Inlays and onlays give you a treatment option that blends in better with your surrounding teeth while still preventing the spread of a cavity.

Restorative dental procedures help you get back the form and function of your teeth. An important part of dental health is maintaining the ability to use your teeth daily. Good restorative dentistry makes this possible, even when tooth loss has occurred.
