What is Restorative Dental Care?
Restorative dental care includes any procedure that aims to restore the normal function and appearance of your smile.
Our dentists can repair structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth to help restore your oral health and your smile.
After a comprehensive examination, your dentists at Eckhardt Dental Centre will determine the right restorative treatment option for you.
Dental Fillings in Penticton
At Eckhardt Dental Centre, we use composite (tooth-coloured) fillings to help repair a cavity or tooth damage, like a crack. These fillings are often less visible than traditional silver fillings and can withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing. Composite fillings can be used to repair damage on front and back teeth.
Dental Crowns in Penticton
Crowns are hollow artificial teeth that are placed on top of damaged or decayed teeth in order to restore their function and appearance. Crowns can be used to attach bridges, cover dental implants or prevent a cracked tooth from worsening. Porcelain crowns can also help to restore a discoloured or stained tooth to its natural appearance.
Dental Bridges in Penticton
Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that can be bonded to existing teeth or dental implants to replace a section of missing teeth. Because each dental bridge is custom-made, these dental restorations are often difficult to notice for others and can help to restore the natural contour of teeth and the bite between upper and lower teeth.
Inlays & Onlays in Penticton
Inlays and onlays are tooth-coloured porcelain fillings which your dentist can use to repair cavities when the damage is too extensive for a standard dental filling. Inlays and onlays are custom-made in a dental laboratory then cemented to the tooth as a single piece.
Full & Partial Dentures in Penticton
Dentures are artificial teeth used to replace one missing tooth or several in a row (partial dentures), or a whole jaw of missing teeth (full dentures). Full and partial dentures can allow patients with missing teeth to maintain their facial structure, and eat and speak properly.
Gum (Periodontal) Therapy in Penticton
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues of the mouth, including the gums, gingiva, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. When gum disease is detected in the early stages, preventive therapy will be recommended. Treatment of more advanced cases will depend on the type and severity of the disease.
Root Canals in Penticton
During the root canal process, your dentist will remove diseased blood vessels, nerves and tissues from the interior of a tooth. By removing the decay and bacteria, your dentist can help halt the spread of infection and prevent the need for an extraction. Without a root canal, the root of a damaged tooth may die, requiring your dentist to remove it.
