Restorative Dentistry
No matter what state your teeth are in, you can always find a gentle hand and complete oral services at Newmarket Dental Care. With our restoration services, we are able to address any problems you may be having with your teeth. We handle:
Tooth Coloured Fillings in Newmarket, ON
We are now exclusively using tooth-coloured filling material unless otherwise requested. We find it to be a better alternative to metal fillings. It adds bonding strength to the tooth, requires less drilling, and results in a more attractive smile. Additionally, disposing of metal fillings is actually an environmental hazard, while on the other hand our fillings are environmentally safe.
Tooth Coloured Crowns in Newmarket, ON
Crowns are the restoration of choice for teeth that are severely broken down, fractured or clinically non-vital (due to root canal therapy). They are also used to provide cosmetic changes by increasing strength. The newer porcelain and synthetic materials make crowns almost undetectable among the rest of a patient's natural teeth.
Amalgam-Free Restorative Dentistry in Newmarket, ON
Amalgam has long been used as a filling material and also for building restorations like crowns. Not long ago it was the best available component for fillings, but today it has been replaced by different components like porcelain, white composite and ceramic.
The fact that composite resin can be manipulated into a desired shape renders it into one of the most preferred restorative options available in dentistry. Composite white fillings are used to replace old silver fillings, restoring both the health and the appearance of natural teeth.
We aim to achieve a natural clean look, apart from ensuring full bio-compatibility of the restoration. That is why we are glad to inform our patients that all our procedures are amalgam-free and safe, with the health and well-being of our patients being our primary goal.
Implant Restoration in Newmarket, ON
A missing tooth can be the cause of not one, but multiple problems in simple day-to-day activities. Apart from affecting the strength of your bite, a lost tooth can create an undesirable gap. The loss of multiple teeth could also potentially affect your speech.
For a long term solution, bridges or dental implants are restorative procedures for replacing lost teeth. Implant restoration holds a few advantages over bridges in number of ways. Implants are basically metal abutments which are surgically screwed to the bone in order to act as a strong root for the restoration.
An implant tends to last longer if taken care of properly and also does not greatly impact the health of the adjoining teeth. Implant restoration is a viable tooth loss solution, one that closely resembles your natural teeth both in function and looks. Dr. Kin will be happy to discuss the pros and cons of dental implant procedures, and whether they offer the best option for you.
Porcelain Inlays/Onlays in Newmarket, ON
The porcelain inlays and onlays are indirect restorations, which are prepared in the laboratory after taking a sample of the tooth structure. Because of this precise imprint, they are very comfortable and function like your natural teeth. Not only that, but the material used to prepare these restorations behaves like enamel and looks natural from the outside.
While an inlay is used to repair minor decays or the chipping of teeth enamel to the centre of the tooth’s surface, an onlay can be used to restore a damaged cusp. This is what makes them so convenient, because unlike the crown, the entire surface doesn't need to be replaced – only the broken part is restored with help of a powerful resin. Because they are bonded with the tooth, porcelain inlays and onlays can last for a long time, protecting the teeth from any further damage. Used for both cosmetic and restorative purposes, this dental work requires precision and experience.
At Newmarket Dental Care, we strive to provide the most natural looking and stable dental solutions to our patients.
Each root has a canal, where the nerve tissue, blood supply and other essential elements are located. It is hidden securely under the dentin but sometimes, because of a crack in the tooth, bacteria can reach the interior of the tooth and cause infection in the nerves. The infection starts a rapid process of decay inside the tooth. The most noticeable symptoms of infection in the root canal are:
- High sensitivity to hot and cold objects
- Discolouring of teeth
- Pain while chewing
- Swollen gums
- Pain in neck and jaw
- Chipping of enamel
Root Canal therapy focuses on taking out the infection from the inside and replacing the decayed pulp. For this Dr. Kin will penetrate the outer surface of the tooth and reach the canal to clear the infection using endodontic files. After replacing the pulp, the opening is sealed with a resin and then hardened by a special light. The surface of the tooth has to be replaced by a crown in most cases, which will strengthen the bite and help save the tooth from future infection.
