What is Restorative Dental Care?
Restorative dental care includes any procedure that is intended to repair the normal function and appearance of your smile.
When the dentists at Brookside Dental correct structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth, they're helping to enhance your smile and preserve your oral health.
Using our available dental technology, our team can diagnose your dental condition and then determine which restorative treatment option will be right for you.
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are porcelain caps that are placed on top of damaged teeth to protect them from worsening and to restore their appearance. Crowns can also be used to cover a dental implant or used to make a discoloured tooth look better.

Bridges are used to replace a section of missing teeth. They are bonded to either existing teeth or crowns on either side of the gap to create a natural-looking smile and bring back the natural contour of teeth and the alignment of the upper and lower teeth.
Learn MoreDental Fillings
A dental filling is used to patch a cavity in a damaged tooth, helping to resolve discomfort from tooth decay. Our dentists use composite tooth-coloured resin fillings to repair cavities or damaged teeth. These fillings can be used on front or back teeth and are designed to withstand pressure from chewing.
Periodontal (Gum) Therapy
Gum disease is an infection of the tissues of the mouth, including the gums, gingiva, alveolar bone, cementum, and periodontal ligament. If caught early, preventive therapy, such as regular cleanings, will be recommended. Otherwise, treatment methods will depend on the type and severity of the disease.
Root Canals
A root canal treats infection in the pulp at the centre of a tooth. During this procedure, your dentist removes diseased nerves and tissues from the tooth's interior. By removing bacteria and decay, your dentist can stop a tooth infection from spreading and prevent the need for a tooth extraction.
Same-Day Restorations
Using CEREC® Intraoral Scanner technology, our dentists can create and place porcelain crowns, inlays and onlays in a single dental appointment to help restore your smile in one visit. With CEREC, there's no need for impressions or temporaries.
Partial Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth used to replace one or more missing teeth. At Brookside Dental, our dentists can install partial dentures to replace a section of missing teeth in a row. This can restore your facial structure, and help you speak and eat properly.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull. If this hinge becomes disordered, it can cause a host of painful issues with your jaw and the muscles in your face.
Therapeutic Botox®
Therapeutic Botox can be used to enhance jaw mobility. It accomplishes this by relaxing overactive muscles, particularly in the jaw and cheeks. This can improve function and allow patients to regain the ability to open and close their mouths more easily.
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 as one single piece of porcelain and then permanently cemented to your tooth.
