Do you have damaged or missing teeth that affect your smile and confidence? Restorative dentistry can help! From a single filling to a crown, a bridge, an implant or a denture, restorative treatment repairs damaged teeth and replaces missing ones. Our dental prosthetist makes and fits denture work on site at Haymarket, so that part of the treatment is not sent away to an outside laboratory.
Implants, Crowns & Replacement Options
Dental Implants
An implant replaces the root as well as the tooth, which is what separates it from everything else here. Because it sits in bone it holds the bone under load, so the jaw does not recede the way it does under a gap.

Dental Crowns & Bridges
A crown covers a tooth too broken for a filling. A bridge spans a gap using the teeth either side as anchors. Both are fixed, so nothing comes out at night.

Complete and Partial Dentures
Dentures replace several teeth or a whole arch. The conventional kind rests on the gum; the implant-retained kind clips onto implants and does not move, which is the complaint people usually have about the first.

Root Canal Therapy
Root canal treatment is designed to save a damaged or infected tooth. With advancements in modern dentistry and anaesthesia, root canal treatment is a safe and effective way to preserve your natural teeth, and it is carried out under local anaesthetic at our Haymarket dental practice.

Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Composite fillings bond to the tooth rather than being wedged in, so less healthy tooth is cut away, and they are shaded to disappear against your own enamel.

Inlays & Onlays
Inlays and onlays occupy the middle ground: more than a filling can hold, less tooth removed than a crown demands.

Tooth Extraction
Removal is the last option, for a tooth beyond saving. When it is necessary, a clean extraction protects the bone around it and keeps an implant possible later.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth arrive in the late teens or early twenties, often with nowhere to go. Impaction, repeated infection, crowding or decay are the reasons they come out.

Improved Oral Health
Repairing a tooth protects the ones beside it, because decay and drift both spread.
Enhanced Appearance
Crowns, implants and fillings are all shaded to your own teeth, so repaired teeth do not announce themselves.
Improved Bone Health
Only an implant keeps the bone under load, which is why it is the one option that prevents the jaw receding.
Restored Function
You chew properly again, on both sides, without planning meals around a tooth.
Long-Lasting Results
Looked after, these last years rather than months. An implant post can serve for decades; crowns, bridges and fillings are replaced on a longer cycle than most people expect.
Comprehensive Care
Fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, extractions and dentures are all carried out at the practice, with a dental prosthetist on site for denture work.
Restorative Questions
Restorative work fixes what is broken; cosmetic work changes how something looks. The line blurs constantly, because a crown on a front tooth does both at once.
It depends on how much tooth is left, how many are involved, and the state of your gums and bone. That is settled at a consultation with X-rays in front of you, not from a page.
Most Australian health funds with extras cover pay a benefit towards fillings, crowns, root canal therapy, extractions and dentures. What you get back depends on your fund, your level of cover and how much of your annual limit you have already used. We can give you the item numbers before treatment so you can check with your fund, and we bulk bill under the government schemes listed on our questions and answers page.
Most restorative procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, so you feel little to no pain during treatment. Some sensitivity or mild discomfort afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days. Tell us if you are anxious about a visit — we would rather know before we start.
