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.
See What Our Patients Have to Say
Reviews reflect individual patient experiences. Your experience may vary.
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.
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.
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.
