Our Restorative Dentistry Services
Dental Fillings
Tooth-coloured composite fillings repair cavities and cracked teeth while matching your natural shade. We remove the decay, rebuild the tooth and check your bite so it feels comfortable. Learn more about Dental Fillings.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Custom crowns cover and protect weakened or damaged teeth, and bridges close the gap left by a missing tooth. Both are made to rebuild strength, function and appearance. Learn more about Dental Crowns and Bridges.
Dentures
Full and partial dentures are made to replace missing teeth comfortably and look natural. They help you eat and speak with confidence again. Learn more about Dentures.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts that replace missing tooth roots, restoring your smile and helping preserve your jawbone. Consultations for dental implants are always free. Learn more about Dental Implants.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry repairs or replaces teeth that are decayed, cracked, worn or missing so you can chew, speak and smile comfortably again. It includes fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures and dental implants. The right option depends on the condition of your tooth and your goals.
What is the difference between a filling, a crown and an implant?
A filling repairs a small to medium area of decay or damage within a tooth. A crown covers and protects a tooth that is weakened or heavily damaged. An implant replaces a missing tooth by placing a titanium post in the jaw to support a new tooth.
How do I choose between a bridge, dentures and an implant for a missing tooth?
A bridge uses neighbouring teeth to support a replacement tooth, dentures replace several teeth and can be removed, and an implant replaces the tooth root and helps preserve the jawbone. Your dentist looks at your gums, bone and nearby teeth, then explains the options and costs so you can choose.
How long do dental restorations last?
It depends on the type of restoration, the tooth and how well you look after it. Fillings and crowns often last many years, and implants are designed for the long term with good home care. Regular checkups let us spot wear early and fix small issues before they grow.
Are restorative treatments covered by insurance or CDCP?
Coverage depends on your plan and the treatment. Eligible CDCP patients can commonly use the plan for fillings, root canals, extractions and complete and partial removable dentures, and we direct bill most major insurers. Call 403-300-2233 and we will verify your coverage before treatment starts.
