Dentistry by the Bay is proud to offer state-of-the-art dental restorations for our patients in Barrie, Ontario and beyond. Using top technologies, we can repair and restore the smile from damage, tooth loss, and more.
Our restorative dentistry solutions include:
Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are crucial for fixing damaged but otherwise healthy teeth. They act like a protective cover, ensuring stability and safeguarding the original tooth. Drs. Luke Nogalo might suggest a dental bridge to fill the gap from a missing tooth. The crown procedure is versatile, serving for chipped tooth repair as well. We make dental crowns from durable, tooth-colored materials like Porcelain, Ceramic, Zirconia, and BruxZir®.
Tooth-Colored Dental Fillings
Dr. Luke Nogalo matches state-of-the-art dental filling material to the color of your natural teeth. This seamless blend makes it hard to tell you've had cavity treatment. Operating as a mercury-free dental office, we prioritize your safety. When a cavity arises, our doctors carefully removes decay and fills the space with durable dental composite material. Choose white composite fillings or those matching your natural teeth color for better aesthetics.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and Onlays are great for fixing mildly or moderately decayed back and fractured teeth, not needing a full dental crown. Shade-matched to blend with your smile, these offer a practical alternative to complete porcelain crowns. At Dentistry By The Bay, inlays and onlays are recommended for damage or tooth decay within a tooth cusp. Inlays act like traditional fillings, while onlays are for more extensive reconstructions.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a common and cost-effective solution for replacing a missing tooth. It connects directly to adjacent teeth with a fused "bridge" or pontic, a false tooth. This offers both traditional and implant-fixed options. A bridge, consisting of one or multiple crowns spanning the gap between remaining teeth, can be made of porcelain over metal or zirconia. Unlike implants, bridges are a permanent fixture.
Dental Implants
Dr. Luke Nogalo replaces lost or missing teeth with dental implants that mimic natural teeth. This involves a titanium post anchored to the jawbone and a solid dental crown as a restoration. We offer Single Dental Implants, Implant-Retained Overdentures (similar to All-on-4®), Hybrid Dental Implants, and Overdentures.
Partial and Complete Dentures
Dentures are a cost-effective, removable, aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth. Removable replacement teeth may require the preparation of existing teeth for proper fitting. Tooth extraction and healing may sometimes be necessary before placing new dentures. We custom-craft denture solutions tailored to your unique needs, including partial and complete oral appliances.
Natural, existing teeth may need to be prepared for dentures to fit properly. In some cases, teeth may need to be extracted and your mouth given a chance to heal before new dentures can be placed.
Immediate dentures are available while a complete set of permanent dentures is being made, and can be immediately put in once the teeth are removed. Dentures may require adjustments once healing takes place, and achieving optimal comfort and fit could take additional visits to our office. Our team will be with you every step of the way to ensure you are satisfied with your dentures solution!
