At Kingston Park Dental Centre, we offer a range of restorative dental options that meet your individual needs. Restorative dentistry can give you back confidence in your smile, the ability to eat foods you enjoy and an overall healthier mouth. Missing teeth have an impact not only on your appearance but may also affect your overall health. Without that tooth in place surrounding teeth can shift, causing gaps and making decay more likely. Bone loss and damage can occur, and the area can become more apt to gum disease. Dr. Train and our professional staff would be pleased to discuss the benefits of restorative dentistry with you. Call us today to schedule an appointment.
Restorative Dental Procedures
Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth used to fill in the spaces created by missing teeth. Often made of hardened porcelain or acrylic resin, they are made to look as natural as possible. In addition to improving your overall appearance dentures help with chewing, restore normal speech, facial muscle support and help avoid the shifting of surrounding teeth.
Dental Implants
An implant will take the place that your missing tooth once held. A dental implant is a small artificial root-like post that is placed under the gum level of the upper or lower jaw. The post functions as the root portion of the lost natural tooth and serves as an anchor for the new tooth. Once the post has integrated into the jaw-bone, an artificial tooth is attached to fill the space. Our goal here at Kingston Park Dental is to make your dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, so that no one other than you will be able to tell the difference!
Crowns
A crown, or cap, is a covering that is cemented over the top of the tooth creating a tooth surface to protect, cover, seal and strengthen your tooth. Crowns are used in many different scenarios as they are effective and often allow us to save a tooth rather than turning to implants. A crown may be the solution to saving that tooth; Dr. Train will evaluate your needs depending on your oral health and the condition of your teeth.
Situations where a crown may be the solution include:
- Larger fillings that have broken down or have been attacked by decay.
- Cracked or broken teeth. Left untreated, cracked or broken teeth can become sensitive or eventually break down further.
- Sensitive teeth from excess wear or from receded gums. A crown can seal and protect teeth from hot and cold.
- A tooth that has broken may be too weak to hold a filling. A crown can help hold the tooth together and prevent it from breaking again.

Orthodontics
It is never too late to straighten your smile! Orthodontics has come a long way over the years.We now use brackets that are bonded directly to the front of the teeth. These brackets are much smaller, less noticeable and more comfortable than ones used years ago. We treat adults too!
As well, Invisalign retainers are becoming more and more popular, as they allow us to avoid even the brackets bonded to teeth in most cases.
Orthodontics and Children
The size and shape of your child’s teeth and how they fit together are inherited traits. So are malocclusions. Malocclusion is the dental term that literally means “bad bite”. Orthodontics correct these malocclusions to bring your child’s teeth into proper alignment. Correcting your child’s bite through orthodontic treatment can improve their dental health and has the added bonus of boosting self-confidence and creating a terrific looking smile. If your child requires orthodontic treatments we recommend starting between the ages of 10 and 14. Early treatment can prevent more extensive and costly treatments later when your child becomes an adult.
