Teeth take a lot of wear over a lifetime. Decay, cracks, chips, or simply years of use can leave your smile less than its best. That’s where restorative dentistry comes in — and at Enhance Dental Centre in Kitsilano, we’ve helped hundreds of Vancouver patients reclaim their full, functional, beautiful smiles.
Restorative dentistry isn’t just about aesthetics. A properly restored bite means better chewing, healthier gums, reduced jaw strain, and more confidence in every smile and conversation.
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth to restore proper function and appearance. At Enhance Dental Centre, our restorative treatments include:
Gone are the days of metal fillings that darken your smile. We use composite resin fillings that match the natural colour of your teeth, so repairs are virtually invisible. They’re durable, mercury-free, and require less removal of healthy tooth structure than old amalgam options.
When a tooth is significantly damaged, cracked, or weakened by a large cavity, a dental crown covers and protects the remaining tooth structure. Crowns can be made of porcelain, zirconia, or a combination — and we design them to blend seamlessly with your smile.
For patients whose oral health needs go beyond one or two teeth, full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive, personalised treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns at once. This might combine crowns, implants, gum treatment, and cosmetic refinements to completely transform your oral health and appearance.
A: Common signs include tooth pain, sensitivity to hot/cold, visible cracks or chips, difficulty chewing, or missing teeth. A comprehensive exam at Enhance Dental Centre will tell you exactly what’s needed.
A: Modern composite fillings are strong, durable, and suitable for most restorations. For very large back-tooth repairs, your dentist may recommend a crown for extra durability.
A: With proper care, porcelain or zirconia crowns typically last 10–15 years or longer. Good oral hygiene and regular checkups help extend their lifespan.
A: Many plans cover fillings and some coverage for crowns. We’ll work with your insurance and provide detailed cost estimates before any treatment begins.
