restorations

At Westmount Dental Clinic in Saskatoon, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy, vibrant smile. Unfortunately, despite our best efforts, teeth can become damaged or decayed due to various factors such as poor oral hygiene, injury, or everyday wear and tear. When this happens, our restoration services are here to help.

What are Dental Restorations?

Dental restorations are procedures designed to repair and restore the function and appearance of damaged or decayed teeth. Our skilled team at Westmount Dental Clinic offers a range of restorative options tailored to meet your specific needs, including fillings and inlays.

Fillings: A Common Solution for Cavities

Fillings are one of the most common dental restoration procedures. They are used to treat cavities caused by tooth decay. The process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a durable material such as composite resin, amalgam, gold, or porcelain. At Westmount Dental Clinic, we prioritize your comfort and ensure the filling material matches your natural tooth color for a seamless look.

Inlays: A Precision Restoration

Inlays are another effective solution for restoring damaged teeth, especially when the damage is too extensive for a standard filling but not severe enough to require a crown. Inlays are custom-made from porcelain, composite resin, or gold and are bonded to the tooth’s surface. They provide a strong and durable restoration, helping to preserve the tooth’s structure and appearance.

The Restoration Process at Westmount Dental Clinic

1. Initial Consultation: Your restoration journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. Our experienced dentists will thoroughly examine your teeth, discuss your symptoms, and recommend the most appropriate restorative treatment.

2. Preparation: For fillings, we will remove the decayed tooth material and clean the cavity. For inlays, we will take precise impressions of your tooth to create a custom-fit restoration.

3. Restoration Placement: Once the tooth is prepared, we will carefully place the filling or inlay, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance. The restoration is then bonded securely to your tooth.

4. Aftercare: Following the procedure, our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and maintenance of your restored tooth
