Expert Restorative Dentistry in Nakuru — Rebuild Your Smile with Confidence

Tooth damage, decay, and loss are realities that millions of people face every year, but they do not have to be permanent.

Whether you need a single small filling or a full-mouth rehabilitation, our experienced team is here to restore your smile and your quality of life.

What Is Restorative Dentistry?

Restorative dentistry encompasses all treatments focused on repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, which primarily addresses aesthetics, restorative procedures focus first and foremost on restoring full dental function, your ability to bite, chew, and speak comfortably and effectively. Beautiful aesthetic outcomes are frequently achieved as a natural consequence of restoring your teeth to their proper structure and alignment.

Our Restorative Dentistry Services in Nakuru

Dental Fillings — Composite Resin & Amalgam

Tooth-coloured composite resin fillings are our most commonly performed restorative procedure. When bacteria penetrate tooth enamel and cause decay, prompt treatment with a filling prevents the infection from spreading to the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. We also offer traditional silver amalgam fillings where clinically appropriate, particularly for large cavities in high-pressure molar areas.

Dental Crowns — Restoring Badly Damaged Teeth

A dental crown is a custom-fabricated cap placed over a tooth that is too damaged to be repaired with a filling alone. Crowns restore the tooth's full shape, strength, and function, and can be crafted from porcelain, zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), or full-metal alloys depending on the tooth's location and the patient's specific needs.

Dental Bridges — Replacing Missing

Teeth When one or more adjacent teeth are lost, a fixed dental bridge provides a reliable, non-removable solution by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges restore chewing function, prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of alignment, and maintain the natural shape of your face.

Dental Implants — The Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are widely regarded as the most advanced, comprehensive solution available for replacing missing teeth. A titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it integrates with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration — mimicking the function of a natural tooth root with remarkable precision.

The Dentist LTD offers full implant assessment and placement right here in Nakuru, so you no longer need to travel to Nairobi for this premium treatment.

Dentures — Full & Partial

For patients who have experienced significant or complete tooth loss, full and partial dentures remain a practical, affordable, and effective solution. Modern dentures are crafted from high-quality, biocompatible acrylic and resin materials that are designed to look natural, fit comfortably, and last for many years with proper care. Our team takes precise digital and physical impressions to ensure your dentures are custom-fitted to your unique oral anatomy, minimising irritation and maximising stability throughout the day.

Root Canal Therapy

Saving Your Natural Tooth Root canal therapy (endodontic treatment) is performed when the soft inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or irreversibly inflamed as a result of deep decay, a fracture, or repeated dental procedures. The procedure involves carefully removing the infected pulp, thoroughly disinfecting the root canal system, and sealing it with a biocompatible material called gutta-percha. Contrary to widespread misconception, root canal therapy performed with modern anaesthesia is no more uncomfortable than a standard filling.

FAQS : Restorative Dentistry

1. What is restorative dentistry?

Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing or replacing damaged, decayed, or missing teeth. Unlike cosmetic dentistry, it prioritizes restoring full dental function, your ability to bite, chew, and speak comfortably, while also improving the appearance of your smile.

2. How do I know if I need restorative treatment?

If you have tooth decay, broken or chipped teeth, missing teeth, or discomfort while eating or speaking, restorative treatments like fillings, crowns, bridges, or implants may be recommended. A professional examination at The Dentist LTD can determine the best solution.

3. What types of dental fillings do you offer?

We provide tooth-colored composite resin fillings for aesthetic, durable repairs, and silver amalgam fillings where clinically appropriate, especially for larger molar cavities. Both options are safe and biocompatible.

4. When is a dental crown necessary?

Crowns are used for teeth that are too damaged to be restored with a filling alone. They restore the tooth’s strength, shape, and function. Crowns can be made from porcelain, zirconia, PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal), or metal alloys depending on your needs.

5. What is the difference between a dental bridge and an implant?

A dental bridge anchors an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth, while a dental implant replaces the tooth root with a titanium post fused to your jawbone. Implants provide a longer-lasting, natural-feeling solution and do not rely on neighboring teeth for support.

6. Are dental implants available in Nakuru?

Yes! The Dentist LTD offers full dental implant assessment and placement locally in Nakuru. You no longer need to travel to Nairobi for this advanced tooth replacement solution.

7. What options are available for patients with multiple missing teeth?

We offer partial and full dentures made from high-quality acrylic and resin. Dentures are custom-fitted to your mouth for comfort, stability, and a natural appearance. They are a practical solution for significant tooth loss.

8. Is root canal therapy painful?

Modern root canal therapy is performed under local anesthesia, making it no more uncomfortable than getting a standard filling. The procedure saves your natural tooth by removing infected pulp, cleaning the canals, and sealing the tooth with a biocompatible material.

9. How long do restorative treatments last?

The longevity of treatments varies: composite fillings may last 5–10 years, crowns and bridges 10–15 years or more, and dental implants can last decades with proper care. Regular dental check-ups help maintain results.
