Restorative Dentistry in Salamander Bay & Nelson Bay, Port Stephens
Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the body – even harder than bone. You might think that should make it almost indestructible, but if it were, there wouldn’t be any need for dentists.
While proper brushing, flossing and periodic cleanings and exams in our office contribute to a healthy smile, sometimes, even with the best dental care, you can experience tooth decay, cracked and chipped teeth or even missing teeth that affect the way you look and feel about yourself. That’s where restorative dentistry comes in.

Restorative Treatments
Common restorative treatments include:
- Veneers: Transform your smile with dental veneers, thin shells that cover the front surface of teeth to enhance their appearance.
- A dental implant, which is used to replace a missing tooth. The implant consists of a titanium screw that attaches itself to the jawbone and a crown that is secured to the post of the implant.
- Inlays and Onlays that correct teeth that are too damaged for a filling and not damaged enough to require a crown. An inlay is placed between the cusps (points) on the top of a tooth; an onlay is placed over one or more cusps.
- Crowns or “caps” that fit over existing teeth to replace missing or damaged tooth structures. They are commonly used after root canal therapy to strengthen a tooth and with an implant to replace a missing tooth.
- Dental Bridges: Regain a complete and confident smile with dental bridges, a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth.
- Overdentures: Regain confidence in your smile with over dentures, removable dental prosthetics that fit over natural teeth or implants for improved stability and function.
- Root Canal Therapy that removes infected tissue from the roots of a tooth below the gum line. If you haven’t had one lately, you’re not aware that there’s far less pain associated with this procedure today.
- Dental Restoration: Restore the health and beauty of your teeth through dental restoration, a range of procedures including fillings, crowns, and implants.
