Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They look, feel and function like natural teeth, provide a permanent replacement and help preserve your jaw bone. Implants can replace a single tooth or support a full arch, and they can last 10 to 20 years or more. If you have lost bone, Bone Grafting may be recommended first. Read more about Dental Implants.

Dentures

Modern full and partial dentures look natural, fit comfortably and let you eat the foods you love again. Each set is custom-fit with a natural-looking finish, and implant-supported options are available for extra stability. We also offer repair and reline services, same-day repairs and adjustments. Find out more about Dentures.

Signs You May Need Restorative Dentistry

  • A cracked, broken or badly worn tooth
  • A large or failing filling
  • A tooth that is decayed too deeply for a filling
  • One or more missing teeth
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly
  • Dentures that no longer fit well
  • Gaps that cause your other teeth to shift

Leaving damaged or missing teeth untreated can lead to more pain, bite problems and bone loss, so it helps to be seen early. If you are in pain right now, our emergency dentist team offers same-day appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces damaged, decayed or missing teeth so they work and look natural again. It includes treatments such as fillings, crowns, bridges, dental implants and dentures. The goal is to restore your ability to chew, speak and smile comfortably.

What are the options for replacing missing teeth?

The main options are dental implants, bridges and dentures. Implants replace the tooth root and feel closest to natural teeth, bridges use neighbouring teeth for support, and dentures replace several or all teeth and can be removable or implant-supported. We examine your mouth and help you choose the best option for your health and budget.

How long do crowns, bridges, implants and dentures last?

It depends on the treatment and how well you care for it. Dental implants can last 10 to 20 years or more, and crowns and bridges are built for long-lasting durability. Dentures may need adjustments, relines or replacement over time as your mouth changes, and regular checkups help every restoration last longer.

Is restorative dentistry covered by insurance or the CDCP?

Many insurance plans cover part of the cost of restorative treatment such as fillings, crowns and dentures. The Canadian Dental Care Plan lists services such as fillings and removable dentures among those it may cover, depending on your eligibility. Coverage and co-payments vary, so we bill most plans directly and help you understand what to expect before you begin.

Can I still get dental implants if I have lost bone?

Often, yes. Implants need enough healthy bone to hold them in place, and if you have lost bone, a bone graft may rebuild it first. We assess your jaw with digital imaging and explain whether grafting is needed before we recommend a plan.
