Restorative Dentistry in Alnwick

If you have missing or broken teeth, have decayed teeth or unsightly restorations, then we have lots of options for you. Our restorative dental treatments allow us to repair the function and appearance of your teeth. Our highly skilled team will diagnose what issues you have and offer you options to help you decide what you would like to do.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on maintaining oral function. If you’re dealing with a missing, broken or decaying tooth, restorative treatments can help rejuvenate your bite and enhance your smile. Addressing gaps, chips and decay is crucial since these issues can adversely affect your overall oral health. We provide a range of restorative dental services, including crowns, fillings, inlays, onlays and bridges, designed to help bring back your smile and prevent future complications.

Crowns and Onlays

Safeguard and reinforce your teeth with a custom porcelain crown or onlay. This procedure is often employed after root canal treatment to shield the tooth from further damage, but it can also be beneficial for addressing significant decay, chips or cracks.

Inlays and Onlays

When a filling isn’t sufficient, but a crown feels excessive, custom porcelain inlays and onlays are the ideal solutions to restore a tooth. Inlays are placed within the cusps of the tooth, whereas onlays extend over the edges, covering one or more cusps.

Bridges

A bridge is the simplest solution for replacing a missing tooth. It consists of one or two crowns attached to neighbouring teeth that support a pontic, which is an artificial tooth — helping you regain the confidence to smile, speak and chew comfortably. We can sometimes provide an adhesive bridge that involves much less tooth preparation.

Smile Makeovers

Experience a remarkable transformation and resolve the issues that give you an unconfident smile. Your treatment plan may encompass various options, such as orthodontics, composite bonding, whitening and dental implants.

Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)

Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding restorative dentistry below:

What conditions can restorative dentistry address?

Restorative dentistry is particularly beneficial for cases involving decayed, broken, chipped or missing teeth. Its primary aim is to restore your smile while ensuring the proper function of your mouth and jaw.

What are the best solutions for a missing tooth?

You have multiple options if you have missing teeth. A dental implant is an excellent choice for directly replacing a lost tooth. Alternatively, a dental bridge can effectively fill the gap. In cases where a tooth was extracted due to overcrowding, orthodontics might be employed to close the space. While leaving the gap may be an option, it’s generally discouraged as it can lead to bone loss in your jaw and a change in your bite.

Can a restorative dentist fix a broken tooth?

Absolutely, a restorative dentist can repair a broken tooth using several techniques. Options include crowns, onlays, veneers and composite bonding, all designed to restore the tooth’s function and appearance.

Should I go for extraction instead of trying to save my teeth?

We always recommend preserving your natural tooth rather than going for an extraction. But every case is unique, and if a tooth is damaged severely, an extraction may be the only option. We will also recommend replacement options in such cases.

Our Smiling Patients' Reviews

As a recent new patient to the practice, I’ve been delighted with my treatment thus far, and have been greeted with warmth and professionalism. Both Josie & Zoe have offered extremely friendly and impartial advice on how best to move forward with my aging teeth. The whole of the practice offers a very caring ethos that gives the patient confidence in their dental choice. Thank you to all.

I've recently located to area & hadn't attended a dentist for a few years. My initial appointment with Josie was the most relaxed I've ever been (nervous patient!). A 2nd appt for a necessary tooth extraction was completed with so much patience & care that I wasn't even aware the tooth was out! All staff are friendly & welcoming & I look forward (that's never been in my vocabulary) to attending further appointments with Josie to dispel this awful nervousness. Thank you.

Excellent care. Very efficient, fast and painless. Prices are very affordable and all the steps were well described as we went along for my care. I'm impressed with all the office staff and the care I received.

First visit to the practice but my first impression is that they are very welcoming at reception, my dentist was also friendly and explained what she was doing and why throughout my examination.

As a nervous patient, I must complement hygienist Zoe. She is excellent! Empathetic, highly skilled and very clear in describing what she is doing and future actions required. Thank you!

Had another very good visit and happy to see the effort in our joint plans are giving great results for my health.

This practice is highly recommend. If you are a nervous patient or it's your first time this is definitely the practice to go to. You are made to feel at ease, friendly and welcoming and take good care of you as well as explain everything to you. It was my 1st time and I will definitely be going back.

Dr Stevenson is the ultimate professional. I had a tooth extraction which was totally painless. He explained the whole procedure and then explained the aftercare carefully. The best dental experience I’ve ever had.

After experiencing severe pain over the weekend, I was able to obtain an emergency appointment first thing Monday morning despite not being registered with this dentist. Very professional, lovely staff and put me at ease immediately. The dentist clearly explained my options and I decided on a extraction which was carried out immediately. I can now continue with my holiday and can't thank them enough.

I’ve just had a root canal treatment which I really hadn’t been looking forward to. However, Lyndall and Jasmine carried out the procedure in such a professional and caring way that I almost went to sleep! My thanks to both 🙏
