WHAT IS RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or wear. These treatments go beyond aesthetics; they are essential for maintaining oral health, supporting jaw function, and preventing further dental problems.

At Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery, we offer a full range of restorative solutions using modern materials and advanced technology to ensure your treatment looks natural and lasts for years.

TOOTH-COLOURED FILLINGS

Tooth-coloured fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments. They are used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor fractures. Unlike traditional amalgam fillings, composite resin fillings blend seamlessly with your natural tooth colour, creating a more aesthetic finish without compromising strength.



During the procedure, we remove decay, clean the affected area, and bond the composite material to restore your tooth’s structure and function. This minimally invasive approach helps preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible.

DENTAL CROWNS FOR PROTECTION & LONGEVITY

When a tooth is severely weakened or fractured, a dental crown offers reliable protection. A crown, sometimes called a “cap”, covers the entire tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance.



At Ashwin Magan Dental Surgery, we use high-quality materials such as porcelain, ceramic, and metal-free options to create crowns that look just like natural teeth. Each crown is custom-made to fit precisely and provide lasting support, often extending the life of a tooth that might otherwise be lost.

Common reasons for needing a crown include:

• Large fillings that weaken a tooth
• After root canal treatment
• Cracked or worn teeth
• Cosmetic enhancement of a misshapen tooth
  

DENTAL BRIDGES FOR MISSING TEETH

A dental bridge is an excellent solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It consists of a false tooth (or teeth) anchored by crowns on the adjacent teeth. Bridges restore function and aesthetics while preventing other teeth from shifting out of alignment.

We carefully design each bridge to blend naturally with your existing teeth. With proper care, dental bridges can last many years and are a cost-effective alternative to implants for many patients.

DENTURES FOR FULL OR PARTIAL REPLACEMENT

For patients who have lost several or all of their teeth, dentures provide a functional and natural-looking replacement. We offer both full and partial dentures, custom-fitted for comfort and stability.

Modern dentures are made from lightweight, durable materials that mimic natural gum and tooth appearance. We ensure a secure fit and provides guidance on cleaning and maintenance so you can enjoy daily comfort and confidence when speaking and eating.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to deep decay or trauma, root canal therapy can save the tooth from extraction. During the procedure, the infected tissue is removed, the canals are cleaned, and the tooth is sealed to prevent reinfection.

Our practice uses modern techniques and local anaesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience. Saving a natural tooth with root canal therapy often provides better long-term outcomes than extraction.

CERAMIC RESTORATION

At our clinic, we specialise in ceramic restoration using advanced CEREC technology, allowing us to restore implants and bridges with precision and efficiency. The CEREC system enables same-day restorations, meaning you can have your crown, bridge, or implant repair completed in a single visit. This state-of-the-art digital process ensures an exact fit, natural appearance, and long-lasting durability, bringing both function and beauty back to your smile.
