Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is the branch of dental care dedicated to repairing or replacing damaged, decayed or missing teeth, bringing back their optimal function, comfort, and natural aesthetics. At Illume advanced Dentistry, our experienced dental team offers a comprehensive suite of restorative treatments, tailored to your individual needs, to help you reclaim a healthy and complete smile.

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are one of the most common and essential restorative procedures. At Illume, we use high-quality, tooth-colored composite materials to repair teeth affected by decay or minor fractures, helping to restore structure, strength, and function. It blends naturally with your surrounding teeth—ensuring both durability and aesthetics.

Dental Fillings

Composite fillings bond directly to the tooth structure, making them less invasive and more conservative than traditional silver amalgam fillings. They’re ideal for treating both front and back teeth, especially in cases where a discreet appearance is desired. Beyond treating cavities, fillings can also be used to repair chipped teeth or close small gaps. With regular dental checkups, we can ensure the longevity of your restorations and address any early signs of wear or breakdown.

Inlays & Onlays

When a tooth is too damaged for a simple filling but doesn’t need a full crown, inlays and onlays are the ideal solution. Inlays fit neatly inside the groves of a tooth. Onlays extend over one or more cusps (the pointed edges). Made from strong, natural-looking materials, thyey are durable, stain resistant, and preserve more of your healthy tooth structure than crown.

Crowns & Bridges

A dental crown is a custom-made cap that covers a tooth that’s cracked, broken, or root canal-treated—providing strength, protection, and improved appearance. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth. At Illume, our crowns and bridges are fabricated from high-quality ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or zirconia—materials known for their strength, biocompatibility, and lifelike appearance.

At Illume, we design dentures that are comfortable, natural-looking, and customized for your smile. Complete dentures – replace all the teeth in the upper and lower jaw. Partial Dentures – replace several missing teeth while preserving healthy ones.

Implant supported Dentures – combine the stability of implants with the convenience of dentures, preventing slipping and improving chewing comfort. Modern dentures are lighter, more comfortable, natural-looking, and durable than ever before – helping you eat, speak and smile with confidence.
