What Is Restorative Dentistry and When Do You Need It?
Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on repairing, replacing, and restoring damaged or missing teeth to bring back normal function, health, and appearance.
Dr. Rostkier preserves your natural teeth whenever possible, only recommending treatment when it benefits your long-term oral health.
You might need restorative dentistry services if you're experiencing:
- Tooth pain or sensitivity
- Cracked or broken teeth
- Missing teeth affecting your bite or confident smile
- Failing dental work
- Difficulty chewing
- Visible decay
Catching problems early makes restorative procedures simpler. A small crack can turn into root canal treatment if you wait. Dental fillings today prevent dental crowns tomorrow. Crowns this year prevent extractions next year. Regular check-ups catch issues when dental treatment is simpler and less expensive, protecting your remaining teeth.
Expert Restorative Dentistry in Balwyn
Dr. Rostkier’s dental clinic in Balwyn has provided restorative dentistry services for over 25 years, from simple dental fillings to full mouth rehabilitation. Our dental clinic combines expertise, advanced technology, and genuine care.
We use digital impressions, CAD-CAM advanced techniques for precise restorations, and digital x-rays for accurate planning. We explain what’s happening with your dental health and walks you through options. No pressure.

Comprehensive Restorative Dentistry Services
From dental fillings to complete smile makeovers, our Melbourne dental clinic restores teeth effectively.
Dental Crowns & Onlays
Dental crowns cover a damaged tooth completely. We use crowns for severe decay, large cracks, or teeth weakened by root canal treatment. Modern ceramics match your natural teeth. Onlays preserve more tooth structure when damage is contained.
Dental Crowns
Dental Bridge
A dental bridge replaces missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to existing teeth. They're fixed in place and provide a durable solution for replacing missing teeth.
Dental Bridge
Root Canal treatment
Root canal treatment saves infected teeth by removing infected tissue and sealing the tooth. This preserves your natural tooth structure. Dr. Rostkier uses rotary techniques that make root canal procedures faster and more comfortable.
Root Canal Treatment
Dentures
For patients missing multiple teeth, we offer full or partial dentures. Partial dentures replace several missing teeth while preserving existing teeth. These false teeth restore function and help achieve a beautiful smile.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are permanent replacement teeth with a titanium post that integrates with your jawbone and a custom crown. Implants are an excellent solution for missing teeth. Dr. Rostkier plans each implant carefully. Implants can replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth.
Dental Implants
Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers and composite veneers cover the front surface of teeth. Dental veneers address chipped, discoloured, or misaligned teeth. Porcelain veneers offer highly durable, natural appearance. Composite bonding provides an affordable option for minor corrections.
Dental VeneersCosmetic Dentistry Solutions That Restore and Enhance
Many patients discover that restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry work hand in hand. While restorative treatments repair damaged or missing teeth, they often dramatically improve your smile's appearance too.
Cosmetic dentist Dr. Rostkier approaches every case with both function and aesthetics in mind. Dental crowns protect weak teeth and match your natural teeth perfectly. Dental implants replace missing teeth and blend seamlessly. Dental veneers cover damaged teeth while restoring strength and beauty.
Cosmetic treatments we offer:
Transform chipped, discoloured, or misaligned teeth with porcelain veneers that create natural appearance while strengthening tooth structure. Composite veneers offer an affordable alternative.
Professional whitening brightens your smile several shades with in-office or take-home options.
Tooth-Coloured Restorations
All dental fillings use tooth coloured composite resin. We replace old metal fillings with natural-looking alternatives.
Complete Smile Makeovers
Combine multiple restorative and cosmetic treatments - dental crowns, dental veneers, whitening, and dental implants - to create your dream smile.
Benefits of Restorative Dentistry
Eat comfortably. Damaged or missing teeth make eating difficult. Restorative treatments restore your ability to enjoy all foods.
Smile confidently. Chipped, cracked, or missing teeth cause self-consciousness. Quality restorations restore the tooth’s function and appearance. When teeth look and feel natural, you smile freely—achieving the confident smile you deserve.
Transform your appearance. For extensive damage or multiple missing teeth, restorative dentistry transforms your smile. Whether you need dental crowns, dental implants to replace damaged or missing teeth, or complete smile makeovers, Dr. Rostkier creates plans addressing function and aesthetics—delivering your dream smile with natural appearance.
Prevent bigger problems. Timely dental treatment prevents tooth loss, protects remaining teeth, and maintains bone structure. Problems left untreated worsen. Patients who address problems early avoid extensive, expensive work later.
Long-term solutions. Quality restorations are a long term solution lasting years. Dental implants can last decades. Dental crowns and dental veneers provide highly durable results. These restorative procedures protect oral health, making restorative dentistry worth the investment.
