Restorative Dentistry in NE Calgary, AB
Dentures (Complete and Partial)
A complete set of dentures can be performed for patients missing all their teeth. This option utilizes an oral appliance affixed with natural-looking artificial teeth. It is custom-designed for the best possible fit and appearance. In addition to helping with chewing and speaking, a complete set of dentures can create a fuller profile of the face, affecting one’s overall appearance.
Partial dentures can be an option for patients missing multiple teeth in some mouth regions. They are usually designed to fill large spaces between existing teeth. They can also be created to cover an entire section of the mouth. Custom-designed partial dentures are removable, with results that look and feel very natural.
Crowns and Bridges
Dental crowns restore a tooth that would otherwise be in danger of breaking. Crowns strengthen and protect the remaining tooth structure and can improve the appearance of your smile. A crown is typically crafted from strong porcelain material and affixed to the affected tooth with a durable dental resin. Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size and colour of the tooth, giving you a natural, long-lasting beautiful smile.
A bridge is a fixed dental appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth. They are cemented in place using the surrounding teeth as support. Typically, a bridge consists of two crowns that go over the two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth) to fill in the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A dental crown and bridge may be recommended to:
- Replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining
- Cover a discoloured or poorly shaped tooth
- Protect a weak tooth from fracturing
- Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment
- Restore a fractured tooth
- Attach a bridge
- Cover a dental implant

Metal-Free (Tooth-Coloured) Fillings
Today’s standard in many dental practices is to use completely metal-free fillings to treat cavities. These “tooth-coloured” fillings have supplanted the amalgam, metallic-looking fillings of the past, many of which contained trim levels of mercury. Tooth-coloured composite fillings are a durable composite resin material that can more easily blend in with the affected tooth’s natural colour, making it virtually unnoticeable. It can be used to fill cavities, replace old fillings, restore broken teeth cusps, and replace worn enamel.
