Reliable Dental Restoration Services in Surrey
We cover all aspects of dental restorations, from fillings and crowns to bridges and root canals. Trust Dr. Larry Lu and BigSmiles Dental Care team to help you keep your teeth and gums strong and healthy.
Tooth decay should never be ignored. If tooth decay is caught early, your dentist Dr. Larry Lu is always able to provide dental restoration services to repair the damage. Delaying treatment could lead to extensive tooth decay. If it’s too late to save the tooth, you may require a tooth extraction.
That’s why it’s so important to come to BigSmiles Dental Care in Surrey for regular dental visits – it allows us to examine your teeth, and catch and treat any decay while it’s still in the early stages.
If you do have any decay, we’ll recommend treatment based on how severely your teeth have been damaged.
Here are some of the options we provide:
Fillings
Crowns
Root Canals
Bridges

FAQs — Click Question to Reveal Answer
A: Two appointments are required for a crown restoration. During the first appointment, we prepare your tooth and make an impression for the dental lab. During your second appointment, we attach your new, custom crown.
A: Unfortunately, nothing in the dental world can be guaranteed forever. The life of your dental restoration depends on many factors — such as regular dental care, your brushing and flossing habits, and your diet. It’s different for every patient, but it is likely that future restorations will be required at some point.
A: When you are missing a tooth (or multiple teeth), the adjacent teeth will shift in an attempt to fill the gap, and your jawbone may begin to break down. This can change the shape of your mouth over time causing your skin to shift — making you appear older. It also allows food and bacteria to become trapped more easily, leading to further decay.
One solution is a bridge. It will use the adjacent teeth as supports for an artificial tooth in the middle. Another option is a dental implant. That’s a titanium screw that takes the place of a natural tooth root and prevents your jawbone from breaking down.
Talk to Dr. Larry Lu at BigSmiles Dental Care today about a bridge or a dental implant to replace your missing tooth.
A: It depends on your coverage. The front office staff of BigSmiles Dental Care would be happy to help you understand your available coverage, so call us today.
A: Root canals are a very common endodontic procedure, and they are absolutely nothing to fear. You will be given a local anesthetic (freezing) before the procedure, and shouldn’t feel anything. For about a week after the procedure, the tooth may be tender, but the pain will be minimal.
A: You get a root canal because the pulp inside your tooth becomes diseased or injured. The damaged pulp is removed and the space is sealed off. Then your tooth will be restored with a filling or crown — that’s it!
