Restorative Dentistry — an Overview
Sometimes, a small change can make a big difference to your smile. Whether it’s a cavity, a cracked tooth, or a missing one, restorative dentistry at McKennell Dental Practice (Smile 4 U) can renew both function and aesthetics. From dental fillings and crowns to bridges and dental implants, our tailored approach and advanced techniques help rebuild your teeth’s strength, restore comfort, and bring back the natural beauty of your smile.
What is Restorative Dentistry?
Restorative dental care focuses on repairing or replacing teeth that are damaged, decayed, or missing, helping to restore natural appearance, comfort, and full dental function. These treatments support a healthy bite and a confident smile while preserving long-term oral health.
When dental concerns are ignored, they can quickly worsen. Restorative dentistry at McKennell Dental Practice (Smile 4 U) helps prevent future complications, making oral hygiene easier and reducing dental emergencies. Acting early often means simpler, less invasive treatment and a quicker return to a healthy, balanced smile.
Do You Need Restorative Dental Treatments?
Restorative dentistry provides solutions for various dental conditions, including:
When you have cavities or signs of early tooth decay.
Damage from accidents, injuries, or daily wear can cause cracks or chips.
If one or more teeth are missing and need replacement.
Ideal for those considering smile restoration or complete mouth rehabilitation.
Types of Restorative Dental Treatments
Direct restorations: These are completed in a single appointment without involving a dental lab. Common examples include tooth-coloured fillings made from composite resin or fluoride-reinforced dental cement that blend naturally with your teeth.
Indirect restorations: These require more than one visit and use custom-made restorations created in a dental laboratory. They include crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, implants, as well as inlays and onlays for durable, long-lasting results.
We regularly provide restorative dental treatments to patients from Victoria, Pimlico, and Westminster.

What Our Patients Say

I was anxious about the removal of a molar with old root canal treatment but I need not have worried. Dr Lucie Savatier and her assistant were brilliant and so kind. I was concerned when the practice changed ownership but I am more than happy with the very high standard of care by Dr Lucie. Many thanks.



Ask for Dr Shima, the professional, gentle and kind dentist who restored my teeth. I am so grateful that I found you; can’t thank you enough.
