Restorative Dentistry: Fillings, Crowns & Dental Implants

At Santé Family Dental, restorative dentistry is about more than fixing teeth—it’s about rebuilding function, supporting long-term health, and using materials that align with your overall wellness. Whether you need a small filling, a protective crown, or a full dental implant, every treatment is tailored to restore your smile safely and effectively.

Fillings

Fillings are used to repair teeth affected by decay, cracks, or minor structural damage. Our approach focuses on preserving as much of your natural tooth as possible while using modern, biocompatible materials.

Mercury-Free, Tooth-Coloured Options

We prioritize composite (white) fillings that:

Blend naturally with your teeth

Bond directly to tooth structure for added strength

Require less removal of healthy enamel

For patients with older amalgam (silver) fillings, we also offer safereplacement options using protocols designed to minimize exposure during removal.

Why Replace Old Fillings?

Over time, metal fillings can:

Expand and contract, increasing the risk of cracks

Contribute to tooth sensitivity

Affect bite balance and long-term tooth integrity

Replacing them with modern materials can improve both aesthetics and function while supporting a more holistic approach to oral health.

Crowns

Crowns are used when a tooth is too damaged or weakened for a filling alone. They act as a protective “cap” that fully covers and restores the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance.

When Is a Crown Needed?

A dental crown may be recommended if you have:

A severely decayed or broken tooth

A large filling that no longer supports the tooth

A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy

Cracks that threaten the tooth’s structure

Types of Crowns

We offer durable materials such as:

Porcelain or ceramic crowns for a natural appearance

Zirconia crowns for enhanced strength and longevity

Benefits of Crowns

Restore full chewing function

Protect and strengthen weakened teeth

Blend seamlessly with your natural smile

Provide long-lasting support

Crowns are often used in combination with other treatments, including dental implants, to fully restore both health and aesthetics.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They restore not only the visible portion of the tooth but also the root, helping maintain bone structure and long-term oral health.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant consists of:

A small post placed in the jawbone (acting as an artificial root)

A custom crown attached to the top

This structure mimics the function and appearance of a natural tooth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Permanent, stable tooth replacement

Prevents bone loss in the jaw

Restores chewing, speech, and confidence

Does not rely on neighbouring teeth for support

Ceramic vs. Titanium Implants

We offer both traditional titanium and metal-free ceramic implants. Ceramic implants are ideal for patients seeking a holistic option and offer:

A metal-free solution

Reduced plaque accumulation

Excellent aesthetics with no grey undertone at the gumline

What Can Implants Replace?

A single missing tooth

Multiple missing teeth

Full-arch restorations (implant-supported dentures)

All implant procedures are completed with careful planning and customization to ensure long- term success and optimal integration with your natural bone.

A Comprehensive, Health-Focused Approach

Every restorative treatment at Santé Family Dental is guided by a whole body perspective. We consider:

The impact of dental materials on your health

Proper bite alignment and function

Long-term durability and prevention

Our goal is not just to repair teeth, but to create lasting solutions that support your overall well- being.

Which Treatment Is Right for You?

Fillings are ideal for small areas of decay or minor damage

Crowns are best for protecting and restoring weakened teeth

Dental implants replace missing teeth and preserve bone health

During your consultation, we’ll assess your needs and recommend the most effective, minimally invasive solution for your smile.

Today I had an appointment with Dr. Farahani. He is fantastic as is his hygienist Mursal. I've been to this clinic a few times and I'm so happy with all the staff and the service and their kindness and attention to detail. I had a cavity filled today and after that I had a consultation with Leah about future work. She is very kind and knowledgeable and answered my many questions very efficiently. I highly recommend Sante Family Dental.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Farahani and the entire team. From the very beginning, it was clear that long-term health, not just quick cosmetic fixes, is always the top priority. Dr. Farahani uses some of the most natural, biocompatible materials in the industry to achieve beautifully aesthetic results that still feel completely authentic and functional.
What truly sets this practice apart is the precision and artistry. When prosthetics are necessary, they are created with such incredible realism that you would never know they aren’t natural teeth. The attention to detail is remarkable; every contour, shade, and fit is thoughtfully perfected. Dr. Fariani is a true perfectionist in the best possible way, ensuring that everything not only looks amazing but supports lasting oral health.

Whether you need basic dental care or more complex, intensive treatment, you are in exceptionally capable hands. I would confidently recommend Dr. Farahani to anyone looking for high-level expertise, meticulous craftsmanship, and a genuine commitment to long-term results.

Wonderful experience!
My 6yr old was very comfortable for his somewhat lenghty appointment with Naomi! She was so wonderful and caring, made sure she explained every step well and even joked around. Thank you so much for also being so efficient while coming in with two kids and having them treated at the same time! I appreciate that a lot.

I have been looking for a long time for a dentist that feels like they are taking proper care of my family. After some bad experiences at other offices I was so relieved to find Sante Family Dental. I have only been for one appointment but the care, respect and natural approach felt like a breath of fresh air. Thank you!

It was my first visit with this clinic, and I am amazed with my new hygienist! She's very knowledgeable, super duper considerate and very friendly. Naomi, Thank You so much! And Dr. Farahani explained to me what has to be done and he gave options and let me decide on how to proceed with what was best for my situation.

From the first call to the friendly and patient office ladies, to meeting the dentists themselves, I would highly recommend Sante Family Dental for your personal and family dental needs.
