Restorative dentistry at Dr. Elston Wong Dentistry

Restorative dentistry refers to procedures used to bring teeth back to their full function. This includes fillings, small chips, crowns, onlays, and veneers to rebuild more heavily-damaged teeth whether from cavities, fractures, wear, or even previous dentistry that has broken down. Oftentimes this extends to teeth that are at risk of breaking due to heavy chewing forces or weakened tooth structure.

The gamut of options is not only much wider, but much better in terms of aesthetics, durability and predictability. Modern dentistry can create beautiful, life-like restorations; and with our understanding of jaw joint function and best preventive home-care measures, you can be confident chewing for years to come.

Here’s a little known secret: dentists hate drilling teeth unless it’s really needed. When we do, we like to do the least possible, because we know just how crucial it is to retain natural tooth structure. Newer materials and techniques allow us to keep more of your tooth while delivering strong restorations. Score one for minimal invasiveness!
