Restore Your SMILE

During your initial consultation our compassionate dental team will discuss with you the restorative treatment that would be best suited to address your particular oral concern. We will take special care to assess your situation. There are a number of things that we are looking for when we conduct these assessments.


If you have any sign of tooth decay, you may require a filling. Tooth decay is caused by a build-up of bacteria inside your mouth. Poor oral hygiene habits can lead to bacteria running amok. This bacterium can form into plaque which clings to your teeth. Plaque produces acids which causes tooth decay and acids. If tooth decay is left untreated this can become a very serious situation and lead to all sorts of problems including tooth loss, gum disease and heart problems.


If you have broken or missing teeth, this can be fixed through dental crowns and bridges. The crown is a tooth-shaped covering that is placed over a natural tooth to strengthen it and provide protection. Whereas the dental bridge is used to replace missing teeth.

White Fillings

During your initial consultation, our dental professionals will assess the condition of your teeth and oral health. If our dentists identify tooth decay, they will determine the degree of damage and discuss whether a simple white filling is suitable.


The process of receiving white fillings is efficient and comfortable. Your specific level of tooth decay will determine the time it will take, however, in most cases, you will be able to receive your white filling in as little as 25 minutes.


Initially, your tooth will be cleaned and prepared. You will also receive adequate pain management control to ensure that you feel comfortable and at ease throughout the procedure.


In order to restore your tooth to its former health, our dental professionals must remove the decayed section of the tooth. Once the tooth is prepared, our dental professionals will place the white filling. The filling will then be bonded to your tooth and reshaped to fit in with your bite.

Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns, also known as dental caps, are made from tooth-coloured porcelain and are one of the most versatile restorative treatments we provide.


Not only do they allow us to rebuild and strengthen a compromised tooth, they can also be used to change a tooth’s overall appearance. Dental crowns encase the entire visible crown of a tooth effectively, taking on the outer protective shell of a tooth.


What can dental crowns be used for?

There are multiple oral problems that dental crowns can be used to fix, including the following:



  • Cover a discoloured tooth
  • Aged or worn tooth.
  • Restore a broken, damaged, chipped or cracked tooth.
  • Cover a tooth that received a root canal.
  • Cover a dental implant.
  • Used to hold a dental bridge in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a dental bridge?

    A dental bridge may be the recommended treatment if you are missing one or more teeth. Dental bridges can span the space of multiple missing teeth. The dental bridge will be matched to the colour of your natural teeth and will blend unnoticeably with your smile. Leaving gaps created by missing teeth may cause your teeth to rotate or shift.

  • What are the different types of dental bridges?

    There are three different types of dental bridges that are all used for different situations.


    Traditional dental bridge

    The traditional bridge is used when there are healthy, strong abutment teeth (adjacent teeth) on both sides of the missing tooth. The bridge is held in place by dental crowns bonded onto the abutment teeth on both sides to act as the supports.


    Cantilever dental bridge

    The Cantilever bridge is used when there is only one healthy abutment tooth on one side of the missing teeth. The bridge is held in place by a single crown on the one abutment tooth.


    Maryland dental bridge

    The Maryland dental bridge doesn’t use crowns. Instead, it uses either a metal or porcelain framework attached to the backside of the abutment teeth on both sides of the missing teeth.

  • What is the dental bridge procedure?

    If our dental professionals decide that a dental bridge is the most suitable treatment for you, we will begin by taking an impression of your smile. This will help ensure that your prosthetic bridge fits perfectly into your smile. The complexity of your treatment will depend on how many teeth are missing, which bridge is suitable for you and if you choose to receive a dental implant. In your initial consultation our team will assess your dental condition and advise you if you may require dental implants. While you will be required to have some teeth surrounding the missing tooth or teeth for the bridging device to attach onto, our team can also place dental implants to anchor a crown or bridge. Once your bridge has been made in a dental laboratory, the dental team at Honeysuckle Dental will ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed as we place your restoration. Once your restoration has been placed you should regain the function of your bite as well as an aesthetically pleasing smile. During your initial consultation our dental professionals will discuss with you if crowns or bridges would be better suited to your particular dental condition.

  • How long do dental crowns and bridges last?

    Dental crowns and bridges can last between five to fifteen years. However, it depends on how well the patient takes care of the tooth and maintains good oral health.
