Restore Your Smile's Function & Beauty

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged or missing teeth to restore function, such as chewing and speaking. Cosmetic dentistry improves the appearance of your smile. At our Labrador dental clinic, we often combine both for complete smile makeovers.

Costs vary depending on the treatment—fillings, crowns, implants, or dentures. On average, restorative dental work in Labrador may range from $200 to $5,000. We offer flexible payment plans to make your care more affordable.

With proper care and maintenance, dental crowns typically last 10-15 years, while bridges can last 10-20 years. Their longevity depends on factors like oral hygiene, regular dental visits, and avoiding hard foods. We use high-quality materials and precise techniques to ensure maximum durability and natural appearance.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during dental implant placement. We use effective local anesthesia and can provide sedation options for anxious patients. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Most patients return to normal activities within a few days.

Composite fillings are tooth-colored resin materials that bond directly to your tooth, ideal for small to medium cavities. Ceramic fillings (inlays/onlays) are custom-made porcelain restorations that are stronger and more durable, perfect for larger restorations. Both options provide excellent aesthetics and function while preserving more natural tooth structure than traditional amalgam fillings.

Clean your dentures daily with a soft-bristled brush and denture cleanser, never regular toothpaste. Remove them at night and soak in denture solution. Handle them carefully to avoid damage, and rinse your mouth and clean your gums regularly. Schedule regular check-ups to ensure proper fit and oral health.

Crown preparation typically involves two visits. During the first visit, we prepare the tooth by removing any damaged areas and shaping it to fit the crown. We take impressions and place a temporary crown. Your custom crown is crafted in our lab, then permanently placed during your second visit. The entire process usually takes 2-3 weeks.
