Restorative Dental Services

Dental Crowns & Bridges

Crowns are porcelain caps that are placed on top of teeth to attach bridges, cover dental implants, or prevent a cracked tooth from worsening. They can help to restore the function and appearance of teeth. They can also help restore the appearance of a discolored or stained tooth to its natural state.

Bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that are bonded to existing teeth or dental implants to replace a section of missing teeth. Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of teeth.

Root Canals

A root canal is a procedure where your dentist removes diseased blood vessels, nerves, and tissues from the interior of a tooth. By removing the decay and bacteria, your dentist can help halt the spread of infection and prevent the need for an extraction. 

Further restoration will need to be completed such as a dental crown or filling to regain the functionality of the tooth.

After the procedure, with proper care, most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last a lifetime.

Inlays & Onlays

Inlays and onlays are tooth-coloured porcelain fillings used to repair cavities when the damage is too extensive for a standard dental filling. They are custom-made in a dental laboratory and are then permanently cemented to the tooth as a single piece.

Dental Fillings

At Saugeen Dental, we use composite (tooth-coloured) fillings to repair a cavity or tooth damage, like a crack. These fillings can withstand moderate pressure from the constant stress of chewing, and can be used on front and back teeth.
