Restoring Damaged Teeth
Cracked, worn, or decayed teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your comfort, confidence, and overall oral health. At our Parramatta clinic, Dr Potres offers personalised restorative treatments to repair damaged teeth and bring back full function and appearance.
Using the latest techniques and materials, we restore teeth with durable, natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your smile. Whether your damage is due to injury, decay, or wear, we’ll help you regain strength, stability, and confidence.
Common Causes of Tooth Damage
Teeth can become damaged for many reasons, including:
- Tooth decay or cavities
- Cracks or fractures from injury
- Wear from grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Failed or old dental work
- Large fillings that weaken the tooth structure
We carefully assess the extent of the damage and recommend the most suitable treatment to protect and preserve your natural tooth.
Treatment Options for Restoring Damaged Teeth
Tooth-Coloured Fillings
Ideal for small to medium areas of decay, composite (white) fillings are used to repair minor damage with a natural finish that blends with your surrounding teeth.
Dental Crowns
For teeth that are severely weakened, cracked, or worn down, a crown (cap) may be placed over the entire tooth to restore its shape, strength, and appearance. Crowns are custom-made from porcelain, ceramic, or zirconia for a natural look.
Inlays and Onlays
In cases where damage is too extensive for a filling but doesn’t require a full crown, inlays or onlays may be recommended. These custom restorations fit precisely into or onto the damaged part of the tooth.
Root Canal Therapy
When tooth damage affects the inner pulp or nerve, root canal treatment can save the tooth and relieve pain. After cleaning and sealing the canal, the tooth is usually restored with a crown for long-term protection.
Bonding
For minor chips, cracks, or worn edges, dental bonding is a quick and affordable solution. A tooth-coloured resin is applied and shaped to restore the tooth’s natural look.
Why Restore Damaged Teeth?

- Avoid tooth loss
- Restore strength and function

Early treatment of damaged teeth is key to avoiding more invasive procedures later on. We focus on preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible while providing long-lasting results.
If you’re experiencing pain, have visible damage, or suspect something isn’t quite right, Dr Potres is here to help. We’ll take the time to explain your options and recommend the most effective treatment plan for you.

Questions about Restoring Damaged Teeth
Common signs include pain when biting or chewing, sensitivity to hot or cold, visible chips or cracks, and discoloration. Sometimes, damage isn’t obvious—routine check-ups help catch issues early.
It depends on the severity of the crack. Minor cracks can often be treated with bonding or a filling. More extensive cracks may require a crown or, in severe cases, root canal treatment.
If a tooth is beyond repair, we may recommend extraction followed by a replacement option such as a dental implant, bridge, or partial denture to restore your smile and function.
A Prosthodontist is a specialist dentist who has undertaken additional years of specialist training in restoring and replacing teeth.
This enables Prosthodontists to use that specialist training to restore a tooth or teeth with bonding, veneers or crowns and replacing teeth with implants, bridgework or removable partial dentures.
Improving jaw function and treating conditions of the jaw joint is also a part of the role of a Prosthodontist.
Usually your general dentist will refer you to a Prosthodontist if the restoration or replacement of your tooth and teeth are complicated or involve multiple teeth.
Treatment can also be complicated by medical conditions, dental wear and tear, trauma, and congenital or hereditary conditions. That’s where our specialist training becomes invaluable.
