It is often quoted that 'a smile is the universal language of all'. A friendly face can break down barriers, put people at ease and give off a lasting good first impression — with a smile being one of the first things you notice.
The experts at Affinity Dental Care & Implant Centre in Gloucester believe that a healthy smile is the gateway to good self-esteem and overall well-being. And a confident smile starts with healthy teeth that you are happy to show.
That's where restorative dentistry comes in — with a range of treatments
aimed at repairing and restoring the function and aesthetics of your teeth,
enabling you to enjoy a confident smile and optimal oral health for years to
come.
Dr Peter Workman, clinical director at Affinity Dental Care, said: 'Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damage to teeth caused by decay, trauma or disease, as well as addressing issues like missing teeth and bite alignment. Our team of skilled professionals utilise advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to deliver comprehensive solutions that prioritise both function and aesthetics.'
There are some common restorative procedures available at dental practices, such as Affinity Dental Care, from the basic filling to the ultra-advanced dental implants:
Fillings
Cavities are a common dental issue that can be effectively treated with dental fillings. At Affinity Dental Care, dentists use tooth-coloured composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both durability and aesthetic appeal.
Crowns
Severely damaged or decayed teeth may require the placement of dental crowns to restore strength, function and appearance. Affinity Dental Care fits custom-crafted crowns that are designed to match the shape, size and colour of existing teeth, ensuring a natural-looking result.
Bridges
Missing teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak and smile confidently. Dental bridges offer a reliable solution by bridging the gap between adjacent teeth, restoring functionality and enhancing your natural smile.
Implants
For patients missing one or more teeth, dental implants provide a permanent and lifelike replacement option. Implant surgeon, Dr Workman, utilises cutting-edge techniques to precisely place implants, restoring both the roots and crowns of missing teeth for unparalleled stability and function.
Root Canal Therapy
When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, root canal therapy can save the tooth from extraction. Root canal procedures alleviate pain and preserve your natural smile.
Dentures
For patients missing multiple teeth or entire dental arches, dentures offer a reliable solution for restoring function and appearance. Custom-crafted dentures can be designed for optimal comfort, fit and aesthetics, allowing a patient to enjoy a natural-looking smile with confidence. Options to have them implant-retained offers more stability, too.
Restorative dentistry isn't just cosmetic — it plays a crucial role in preserving and enhancing the health and beauty of a smile, a person's self-esteem and overall wellbeing.
The team at Affinity Dental Care & Implant Centre can help, whether it's a simple filling or a complex smile makeover, ensuring optimal oral health and a boost in self-confidence.
