Restorative Dentistry
Restorative Dentistry
in Welling (Bexley)
Restorative materials can be white fillings (inlays and onlays) made of porcelain or state of the art LavaTM zirconia. Restorative dentistry can also be used to treat caries, which appear on your teeth as brown or black spots. These spots are areas of diseased gum tissue. We treat caries by carefully removing all traces of decay from the affected tooth. Once the decay is removed, the dentist will shape the resulting cavity and fill it with a restorative material.
The Importance of Restorative Dentistry
Caries, which appear on teeth as brown or black spots, indicate areas of decay that must be treated promptly. Our approach involves carefully removing all traces of decay from the affected tooth. Once the decay is cleared, the dentist will shape the resulting cavity and fill it with a restorative material.
Restorative dentistry not only focuses on repairing damaged teeth but also aims to restore the overall health and appearance of the smile. Treatments can enhance chewing efficiency, maintain the alignment of teeth, and prevent further decay or damage.
