What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry is all about repairing and rebuilding teeth that have been damaged, worn down, or lost. Whether it’s a small filling or a full crown, these treatments help bring back strength, function and everyday comfort — so you can keep eating, speaking and smiling without worry.

What types of restorative treatments are offered at Cowra Dental?

Our dentists at Cowra Dental offer a wide range of restorative options, including:

• Tooth-coloured fillings
• Crowns (to strengthen or protect damaged teeth)
• Bridges (to replace missing teeth)
• Dentures (partial or full)
• Root canal treatment
• Implant restorations

Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs — no shortcuts, no rushed jobs.<

What’s the difference between restorative and cosmetic dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on fixing the structure and function of your teeth. Cosmetic dentistry, on the other hand, focuses on appearance. That said, a lot of treatments do both — like tooth-coloured fillings or crowns that look and feel like your natural teeth. It just depends on what’s going on with your mouth and what you’d like to achieve.

What happens if I don’t repair a damaged or missing tooth?

Leaving damaged or missing teeth untreated can lead to bigger problems, like bite issues, shifting teeth, or even bone loss. It can also make it harder to chew properly, which affects your overall oral health. That’s why our dentists always recommend getting on top of issues early — it saves time, money and hassle in the long run.

Are these treatments painful?

Nope — not with modern dentistry. Our dentists use gentle techniques, local anaesthetic where needed, and take the time to make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. If you’re feeling a bit nervous, just let us know — we’re more than happy to take things slow and explain everything as we go.

How long do restorative treatments last?

It depends on the treatment and how well you look after your teeth. Fillings can last several years, while crowns and bridges often last 10–15 years or more. We’ll give you advice on how to care for your dental work to help it last as long as possible.

What if I haven’t been to the dentist in a while?

No stress. Life gets busy and dental work can fall down the list — we get it. Whether it’s been six months or six years, we’ll start with a thorough check-up and work with you to build a treatment plan that feels manageable. There’s no judgement — just support and care.
