Restorative Dentistry Guildford
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing damaged teeth, restoring their strength, function, and appearance, and helping you maintain a healthy, comfortable smile for the long term. At Surrey Dental Practice, we understand that dental damage can affect much more than just how your teeth look, it can impact chewing, speech, confidence, and overall oral health.
Our approach to restorative treatment is careful, conservative, and tailored to each individual patient. Whether a tooth has been affected by decay, fracture, wear, or an old failing restoration, our aim is always to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible while providing a strong, long-lasting solution.

Direct and Indirect Restorations – What’s the Difference?
Restorative treatments are broadly divided into direct and indirect restorations.
Direct restoration
Direct restorations are completed in a single visit and placed directly into the tooth by the dentist. These include composite (white) fillings and amalgam fillings. They are ideal for small to moderate areas of damage and allow for a quick, effective repair.
Direct restorations are cost-effective and widely used for repairing cavities or minor fractures. Direct restorations are durable, blend well with natural teeth, and can be completed efficiently without the need for multiple appointments, making them a convenient choice for patients with busy schedules or straightforward dental needs.
Indirect restoration
Indirect restorations are used when a tooth requires additional strength or coverage that a simple filling cannot provide. These restorations are custom-made outside the mouth by a dental laboratory, using precise impressions of your tooth, and are then securely fitted by your dentist.
