Even with excellent home care, teeth can chip, crack, wear down, or develop decay over time. At Northwest Dentistry, we use modern, conservative techniques to restore your teeth to healthy form, comfort, and function—so you can chew confidently and smile with ease.

Our promise: we’ll explain every option, recommend the least invasive approach that meets your goals, and make treatment as comfortable as possible.

Tooth-Coloured (Composite) Fillings

Repair small to medium cavities, chips, or worn edges with a natural, bonded material that blends with your enamel.

Crowns (Caps)

Full-coverage restorations that strengthen and protect teeth with large decay, cracks, heavy wear, or after a root canal.

Fixed Bridges

A non-removable way to replace a missing tooth by anchoring a custom porcelain tooth to crowns on the neighboring teeth.

Dentures & Partial Dentures

Comfortable, natural-looking options to replace several or all missing teeth and restore facial support and chewing.

Dental Implants (Restoration)

Restore single or multiple missing teeth with lifelike crowns or bridges supported by implants placed in the jaw.

Root Canal Therapy

Relieve pain and save natural teeth when the nerve is inflamed or infected; the tooth is then sealed and often crowned for strength.

Our Restorative Approach

Listen & examine – We start with your goals and a thorough exam.
Detailed diagnosis – Digital X-rays and photos help us see what’s happening above and below the gums.
Options & plan – We review pros/cons, timelines, and fees for each option—no pressure.
Comfortable care – Gentle techniques, clear guidance, and anxiety-reducing options (including sedation when appropriate).
Strong finishes – Precise bite adjustments and polish so everything feels natural from day one.

Materials & Aesthetics

We choose materials based on strength, location, and appearance:

Composite resin for natural-looking fillings and small repairs
Porcelain/ceramic for crowns and bridges with lifelike translucency
Zirconia or porcelain-fused options in areas that need extra strength

We’ll shade-match and shape restorations to blend seamlessly with your smile.

After-Care & Longevity

Great care helps restorations last:

Brush 2×/day with fluoride toothpaste; floss daily
Keep regular cleanings & exams for polish and monitoring
Wear a night guard if you clench or grind
Avoid chewing very hard items (ice, nutshells) on restored teeth

FAQs

How do I know if I need a filling, crown, or something else?
It depends on the size and location of the problem and how much healthy tooth remains. We’ll show you images, explain choices, and recommend the most conservative option that stays strong.

Do restorations look natural?
Yes. We shade-match and contour so restorations blend with your surrounding teeth.

How long will my restoration last?
Many years with good home care, a healthy bite, and routine maintenance. We’ll tailor tips to help yours last as long as possible.
