Planning your treatment
Can the tooth be repaired, or does it need replacing?
There is rarely one answer that suits everyone. The right choice depends on the condition of the tooth, the neighbouring teeth and gums, your bite, any previous treatment and what matters most to you. We explain the options rather than assuming one solution.
Decisions based on evidence, not looks
A tooth can look fine and still have a crack or decay underneath. We use an examination and X-rays to guide advice, not appearance alone.
Examination and imaging
We check the tooth, gums and bite, and take X-rays. Intraoral scans or 3D CBCT imaging are used in selected cases when they add useful information.
Talking through your options
We explain what we found and the realistic options, including keeping the tooth, restoring it or replacing it.
Planning the order of care
If several teeth need work, we plan the sequence alongside your broader dental health, such as treating gum problems first.
Looking after it long term
Crowns, bridges, implants and dentures all need daily cleaning and regular reviews to keep working well.
Missing teeth
Options for replacing missing teeth
A gap can change how you chew and can allow nearby teeth to drift over time. The main ways to replace a tooth are an implant, a bridge or a denture. In some cases, leaving the space is a reasonable choice too.

FAQs
Restorative dentistry questions
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry repairs damaged teeth and replaces missing ones. At Dental Seasons in Sandgate this includes fillings, crowns, bridges, inlays and onlays, dental implants, root canal treatment and dentures.
How do I know whether a broken tooth needs a crown?
It depends on how much healthy tooth remains, where the damage is, whether there are cracks or decay, and the biting forces on that tooth. Small chips can often be repaired with a tooth-coloured filling, while larger breaks may need a crown. An examination and X-rays help us advise you.
How long do dental crowns last?
There is no guaranteed lifespan. It depends on the tooth, your cleaning at home, bite forces, grinding, diet and the type of restoration. Regular check-ups help us spot problems early.
Can root canal treatment save an infected tooth?
It may. Root canal treatment cleans and seals the inside of the tooth so it can be kept, and is usually followed by a filling or crown. Whether it is suitable depends on the tooth and the surrounding structures.
What are the options for replacing a missing tooth?
The main options are a dental implant, a bridge or a denture. In some cases leaving the space is reasonable. We explain the pros and cons of each for your situation.
Are dental implants permanent?
Implants are not described as permanent or guaranteed. Like natural teeth, they need daily cleaning and regular reviews to stay healthy.
Do you use 3D imaging for restorative treatment?
Yes. We have a 3D CBCT scanner at our Sandgate clinic and use it when it adds useful information, such as when planning dental implants.
Can I get a second opinion on a tooth recommended for extraction?
Yes. We can examine the tooth, review imaging and talk through whether it may be saved or whether removal is the better option.
Have a damaged or missing tooth?
Book an examination at our Sandgate clinic. We will check the tooth, explain your options and help you choose what suits you.
