These days, if you encounter tooth decay or a broken tooth, your dental repair isn't noticeable with tooth-coloured dentistry in Pascoe Vale, VIC. You'll be able to smile easily and confidently and enjoy peace of mind knowing your tooth-coloured restoration is durable and reliable.
Here's some information about tooth-coloured restorations at Lumino Smiles.
Tooth-Coloured Fillings Eliminate Decay
If your tooth has a small area of decay, our dentists can typically restore it to health with a simple composite resin filling. Composite material is durable because we bond it directly to your tooth, and it doesn't react to temperature changes in the mouth the way metal does.
Because our dentists can customise composite resin to match the shade of your tooth, we can also use it to repair small cosmetic flaws like:
- Tooth size or shape discrepancies
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
- Tooth stains or discolouration
- Chipped or broken teeth
- Excessively worn teeth
Dental Inlays and Onlays Provided Greater Support
If you have a tooth that is decayed beyond what a filling can restore, but it's not quite ready for a crown, a dental inlay or onlay may be your best solution.
A dental inlay is a customized filling that covers the inside cusps of your tooth, while an onlay can reach over the outer cusps and provide support. This custom restoration is made at a dental lab, so it takes multiple appointments to complete, like a porcelain crown.
Porcelain Crowns Cover Your Tooth for Complete Support
A ceramic porcelain crown covers a tooth that is damaged, decayed, or fractured beyond what fillings, inlays, and onlays can repair. A crown covers your remaining healthy tooth completely, providing chewing function and aesthetics, as our dentists will customize it to blend beautifully with your smile.
