What is Restorative Dental Care?
Restorative dental care includes any procedure that aims to restore the normal function and appearance of your smile.
By repairing structural problems such as damaged or missing teeth, our dentists can help restore your smile – and your oral health.
Depending on your issue, the dentists at Dr. Matthew S Ng Family and Cosmetic Dentistry will determine the right restorative treatment option for you.
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. Bridges are bonded to existing teeth or implants to replace a section of mission teeth to help restore the natural contour of teeth and the bite between upper and lower teeth.
Botox
At Dr. Matthew S Ng Family and Cosmetic Dentistry we offer Botox® injections for our Coquitlam patients. Botox is a widely recognized brand of neuromodulating agents that release neurotoxins designed to prevent the muscles from contracting and help them to relax.
Dental Fillings
At Dr. Matthew S Ng Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, 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.
Full & Partial Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth that help patients with missing teeth to maintain their face structure and talk and eat properly. They can be used to replace one missing tooth or several in a row (partial dentures), or a whole jaw of missing teeth (full dentures).
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.
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.
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 the disease is caught in the early stages, preventive therapy will be recommended. Otherwise treatment methods will depend on the type and severity of the disease.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (or TMJ) is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull. The disorder of this joint can cause a host of issues with your jaw and the muscles in your face, including painful symptoms. Our dentists can test for, diagnose and provide a treatment plan for TMJ Disorder.
