Restorative dentist melbourne
Restorative dentistry services in Melbourne
When you have a broken, damaged or missing tooth, you need a restorative dentistry procedure at our Melbourne CBD dental clinic. Restorative dentistry elements include crowns, bridges, inlays & inlays, dentures and dental implants.
Restorative dentistry pairs precision techniques with personalised components to restore the structure and function of a patient’s teeth, mouth and jaw. A bonus of this type of dentistry is an improvement in overall appearance, as well as heightened oral health.
We use our Trios intraoral scanner for patients choosing restorative solutions such as crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays. Information from the scans will help us plan a more streamlined approach. We want to complete your treatment in a quicker timeframe, with more comfort for you.

Dental Crowns
To restore the structure and function of a damaged tooth, we create a dental crown to cover it.
During your appointment at our Melbourne CBD dental clinic, we involve you at each stage of the process to ensure you know what’s happening.
First, we take precise scans of your tooth and use our trusted off-site dental laboratory technicians to create the crown out of porcelain.
We’ll then fit the crown, and you’ll be able to have a functional tooth again – with the added bonus of a smooth surface and even colour.
Dental Onlays & Inlays
Sometimes, a cavity may be too large to be repaired with a traditional tooth-coloured filling. Because of the size of this cavity, your tooth would not be strong enough to support a conventional filling.
However, if the damage is not too severe (such as needing a crown), we can apply a dental onlay or inlay. We scan your teeth, and create the personalised components out of tooth-coloured resin.
At our Melbourne dental clinic, we use inlays to cover the curved surface of the tooth (the cusp), whereas we use onlays if the cavity extends down to the side of the tooth.
Dental Bridges
If you have multiple damaged teeth or a gap between existing teeth, a dental bridge is a good, reasonably-priced solution.
Bridges come in a range of options, depending on the status of your teeth and the final outcome you want.
The bridge itself is an entirely artificial tooth, and it’s attached to the teeth on either side by dental crowns.
Like crowns, bridges are made out of dental-grade porcelain. And like crowns, we take scans of your existing teeth to personalise the bridge precisely to your mouth and gums.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a permanent set of artificial teeth. The prosthetic teeth attach to your jawbone using screws made from medical-grade titanium.
Implants provide optimal restoration of teeth function and last for upwards of 20 years when properly taken care of.
We focus on maintaining existing dental implants, while using our experience and assessment techniques to refer patients to oral surgeons for the actual procedure.
Dentures
We see many patients at our Melbourne CBD clinic for treatment with dentures. While some people still call them ‘false teeth’, they’re so much more.
We involve you in each stage of the denture process to ensure we fit you with a personalised set of dentures that look, feel and function like natural teeth. We make sure the dentures fit well by taking impressions of the remaining teeth and the ridges of the jawline.
Full or partial dentures from our dental surgery are an excellent solution to restoring the look, feel and function of a complete row of teeth.
