Restore the function of your smile
Unsurprisingly, teeth play a very important role.
They help us chew and digest food, speak clearly and give our face its shape. When you’re missing teeth, it can compromise the health of your overall mouth. This is why it is so important that teeth are replaced as soon as possible.
“A smile is a bit like a car. If you don’t get it serviced, it’s going to fall apart”

Frequently asked questions about restorative dentistry
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry aims to repair tooth damage, function and aesthetics as well as improve oral health.
Restorative treatments such as crowns and dental implants are designed to restore your teeth and gums to their former health.
How long do dental crowns last?
With proper care, dental crowns can last many years. Longevity depends on factors including the material used, oral hygiene habits, and how the teeth are used. Your dentist can advise on maintenance and what to expect for your specific restoration.
How long do dental implants last?
With appropriate care and maintenance, dental implants can function well for many years. Their longevity depends on factors such as oral hygiene, the health of surrounding gum and bone, and lifestyle factors. Regular check-ups at Ironside Advanced Dental help monitor the implant and surrounding structures over time.
What is the best solution for missing teeth?
Restorative dentistry is the best solution for missing teeth, and there are different procedures or treatments you can do, and the choice depends on what your needs and goals are. Dental implants can be put in place so that a replacement tooth can be installed. If you’re missing multiple teeth, implants are a great option. Dental bridges are prosthetics made from porcelain, that are used to bridge the gap between missing teeth. This is a combination between a crown and a bridge to restore your smile.
Do I need a referral to see a prosthodontist?
In most cases, a referral isn’t required, though some patients are referred by their general dentist. You’re welcome to contact Ironside Advanced Dental in Sydney CBD directly to enquire about an appointment or discuss whether specialist care is appropriate for your situation.
What are the benefits of restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry is very important to maintaining healthy teeth and gums
You can experience a number of benefits from restorative dentistry including improvements in your ability to chew and speak. You will also find brushing and flossing becomes easier and your overall oral health will be much simpler to maintain.
Do I need a referral to see a prosthodontist in Sydney?
A referral is not always required, though many patients come via their general dentist. You are welcome to contact Ironside Advanced Dental in Sydney CBD directly to discuss your situation and determine whether a specialist consultation is appropriate for your dental needs.
What happens if I do not have enough bone for an implant?
Insufficient bone volume is a common concern, particularly when a tooth has been missing for some time. In many cases, bone grafting can build up the area to support an implant. Professor Jim Ironside will assess bone volume during your consultation and discuss the options relevant to your situation.
What is the difference between a prosthodontist and a general dentist?
Prosthodontists complete specialist postgraduate training in the restoration and replacement of teeth, beyond a general dental degree. They handle complex cases involving crowns, bridges, implants, and other advanced restorations, bringing a higher level of focus in this area.
