At Terrigal Beach Dental + Implant Centre, we believe that every smile deserves to look and feel its best—not just cosmetically, but structurally and functionally. Restorative dentistry focuses on diagnosing and repairing damage caused by decay, trauma, infection, or wear—bringing back the strength, health, and appearance of your teeth.
Whether you’re dealing with a damaged tooth, missing teeth, or gum issues, our experienced team delivers personalised restorative care that’s designed to last. We use advanced techniques and high-quality materials to ensure durable, natural-looking results that support both your oral health and your confidence.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry includes a range of dental procedures that aim to:

  • Repair damaged, broken, or decayed teeth
  • Restore missing teeth
  • Treat infections within the tooth
  • Manage gum disease and its effects
  • Reinforce oral structures to prevent further issues

At Terrigal Beach Dental + Implant Centre, we focus on minimally invasive treatment wherever possible and ensure all restorative work is performed with comfort, precision, and care.

Our Restorative Dentistry Services

Gum Disease Treatment

Also known as periodontal therapy, this treatment addresses infections in the gums and bone that support your teeth. Early signs include bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, and gum recession. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss. We offer tailored care to stabilise gum health and help protect your smile for the long term.

Implant Dentistry

Dental implants are a long-term solution for missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as a new root, with a custom crown placed on top. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth and are an ideal option for those wanting a permanent, fixed replacement.

Dentures Held by Implants

For patients missing multiple teeth, implant-supported dentures offer improved stability, comfort, and function compared to traditional removable dentures. They’re a reliable solution that helps restore full chewing ability and confidence in your smile.

Root Canal Treatment

When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected due to decay or injury, root canal therapy can save the tooth and eliminate pain. The infected tissue is removed, the space is disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent further damage. This procedure helps preserve your natural tooth and avoid extraction.

Crowns & Bridges

A dental crown is used to restore and protect a weakened or heavily filled tooth by covering it entirely. A bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth. Both options restore function, strength, and aesthetics while blending seamlessly with your natural smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is restorative dentistry only for older patients?
No. Patients of all ages may need restorative treatment due to injury, decay, or infection. Addressing issues early often leads to better outcomes and fewer complications later.
With proper care, dental crowns and bridges can last 10–15 years or longer. Implants can last several decades when maintained with regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene.
We use gentle techniques and local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout any restorative procedure. Sedation options are also available for eligible patients who feel anxious about treatment.
We’ll conduct a full assessment and take diagnostic images to determine the most appropriate treatment for your situation. We always explain your options clearly before proceeding.
Yes. While the primary goal is function and health, most restorative treatments also enhance aesthetics—especially crowns, bridges, and implants, which are matched to your natural tooth colour and shape.
Some restorative procedures may be covered under major dental extras. We recommend contacting your health fund directly to check what’s included in your individual policy.
