Although it has many general benefits, restorative work can return broken or damaged teeth to their original shape and colour.

Restorations are required when decay has progressed beyond a stage where not can be reversed. Decay is caused by bacteria that dissolve the hard enamel surface and enter the softer dentine layer inside. often decay will be invisible to thew naked eye. X rays can identify decay underneath the hard enamel much earlier than they would be seen otherwise. Catching them early means a smaller filling and less chance of a tooth ache. We provide all types of fillings; the best option can be discussed with your dentist based on your needs.
