Dental restorations
Dental restorations are used to repair damaged, worn or decayed teeth and restore both function and appearance. Whether a tooth has been affected by decay, old fillings, cracks or general wear, restorative dentistry can help strengthen the tooth, improve comfort when biting and protect it from further damage. At Mi Dental, we provide a full range of restorative treatments tailored to your needs.
Our team offers both simple and advanced restoration options, including fillings, inlays and onlays, crowns and bridges. We also replace failing or broken restorations and help patients who are experiencing sensitivity, discomfort or repeated issues with older dental work. Every restoration is planned carefully to suit your bite, tooth structure and long-term oral health.
Every restoration begins with a thorough consultation, where we assess the tooth, your gum health, your bite and any underlying causes such as grinding or erosion. We’ll explain your options clearly, including the materials available and the expected lifespan of different restorations, so you can choose with confidence.
By combining modern techniques, high-quality materials and precise attention to detail, we aim to deliver restorations that look natural, feel comfortable and last. Our focus is always on preserving as much healthy tooth as possible, while restoring strength, function and confidence in your smile.
How long does restorative dental treatment take?
Many restorations, such as fillings, can be completed in one appointment. Crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays usually take two visits, depending on the case and materials used.
What types of dental restorations do you offer?
We offer tooth-coloured fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, and replacement of old or failed restorations. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option for your tooth.
Are there alternatives to a crown or filling?
Yes, depending on the tooth, alternatives may include inlays/onlays, bonding, or in some cases no treatment if monitoring is appropriate. We’ll explain the best options for restoring your tooth and protecting it long-term.
Will my restoration look natural?
Yes. We use natural-looking materials and carefully match colour and shape to your surrounding teeth. The goal is a restoration that blends in and feels like your own tooth.
Will I feel pain during or after treatment?
Restorations are usually carried out under local anaesthetic, so treatment is comfortable. It’s normal to have mild sensitivity afterwards, but this typically settles quickly.
How long do dental restorations last?
The lifespan varies by type and material, as well as bite forces and oral hygiene. We’ll advise you on how to care for your restoration and review it at check-ups to help it last as long as possible.
Do you offer finance?
Yes — flexible plans are available.
