Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, Crowns and Bridges
Fillings
A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, and fractures. The affected portion of the tooth will be removed by Dr. Drew MacRae and then filled with a composite filling.
Composite fillings are the most widely used today.
As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced. They are very durable, and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile.
Crowns & Bridges
A crown is a dental restoration that covers your natural tooth. Crowns are used to strengthen damaged or decayed teeth and to replace large fillings and teeth having undergone a root canal. A crown is usually fitted in two visits: one to prepare and design the crown, and one to bond or cement it to your tooth
A bridge is two crowns conjoined with a “dummy tooth” to replace any missing teeth. This could be an alternative to an implant.
Dr. MacRae is highly trained and educated in zirconia crown technology. So much so that he completes all of his own lab work in his custom-built in-house lab! This includes 3D design, printing and milling.
