Types of Restorative Treatments
At Wren Street Dental, Dr. Amol Shergill and his experienced team offer numerous restorative treatments, including:
Cavity Fillings
A cavity filling is a minimally-invasive way to treat minor dental damage and decay (cavities). As such, it is one of the most common restorative treatments that our team provides. To make cavity fillings more accessible to all patients, we provide both metal and tooth-colored composite resin fillings.
Patients may need cavity fillings for a number of reasons, including:
- Cavity removal
- Filling in potentially harmful pits and grooves in the teeth
- Repairing weak or thinning tooth enamel
- Replacing old, worn, or damaged fillings
- Fixing minor dental damage, like chips and fractures
- Altering misshapen or short teeth
Dental Crowns
Dental fillings may not be enough to treat severe dental damage and large cavities. Instead, dental crowns may be the best option to protect and strengthen compromised teeth long-term. And with materials like porcelain, metal, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal, we give patients the freedom to choose the best crown for their budgets and aesthetics.
Teeth crowns (also called ‘caps’) may be an ideal solution to:
- Treat large cavities
- Support structurally compromised teeth
- Repair significant dental damage, like cracked or broken teeth
- Cover smile flaws, like intrinsic discoloration or worn teeth
- Treat tooth sensitivity
- Complete root canal therapy
- Hold dental bridges in place
- Complete a dental implant
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are an effective and affordable way to replace one or more missing teeth in a row. Our team creates these oral prosthetics using advanced technology and superior materials. The result? A perfectly tailored appliance that illuminates patients’ smiles and restores their oral function.
Depending on their smile goals, budget, and lifestyle, patients can choose between traditional and implant-retained bridges at Wren Street Dental. Not sure which is right for you? No problem! An in-depth exam with our dentist in Mission, BC, can help you make the best decision for you and your smile.
Root Canal Therapy
If cavities go untreated for too long, then a tooth-destroying root canal infection may be the devastating result. And once an infection begins inside a tooth, the only treatment options are root canal therapy or tooth extraction.
At Wren Street Dental, we strive to preserve and enhance patients’ natural teeth. That’s why we perform tooth-saving root canal therapy. By removing the infected material and covering teeth with long-lasting dental crowns, we can help patients keep their smiles healthy and intact for longer.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
In some cases, the only way to restore a patient’s smile and preserve their oral and overall health is to remove troublesome teeth, like wisdom teeth.
Wisdom teeth extractions help patients:
- Restore their oral function
- Combat jaw and tooth pain caused by dental crowding
- Reduce dental shifting
- Prevent wisdom teeth impaction and dental infections
- Limit the risk of gum disease
