Dental restorative treatments include:
Restorative dentistry enhances and restores your oral health to keep your mouth healthy and fully functioning. It does not include those procedures that are considered cosmetic such as veneers or whitening services. It includes inlays and onlays, fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and root canal treatment.
Cosmetic dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of your smile. It includes veneers, crowns, implants, white fillings, composite bonding, teeth whitening, teeth straightening, and gum contouring.
Restorative dentistry covers many dental problems and treatments from simple to complex work. The cost of a restorative dentistry procedure with Ramsay Health Care UK will therefore depend on your exact procedure, your dental requirements and preferences, and your chosen Ramsay hospital.
Following your consultation with a restorative dentist, you will receive a written cost quote. This quotation is guaranteed for 60 days and includes unlimited aftercare.
Ramsay is recognised by all major medical insurers. Most schemes do not cover routine dental treatment but they will cover you if you need to be hospitalised for treatment such as wisdom tooth removal. We advise you to obtain written authorisation from your medical insurance provider before your procedure.
You may pay for your restorative dentistry using a dental insurance plan. They usually cover both maintenance and treatments such as fillings, root canals, and crowns. Cosmetic dental work, such as teeth whitening, is generally excluded. You should consult your dental plan before your dentistry procedure.
We have a number of finance options to pay for your restorative dentistry. These include interest-free finance with no deposit and monthly instalments at 0% interest, a one-off pre-agreed payment for All-inclusive Total Care that comes with unlimited aftercare, and pay-as-you-go that offers flexible funding to pay as and when costs arise.
The recovery process after a restorative dentistry procedure will depend on your dental treatment.
For example, after an amalgam filling, your dentist will recommend that you wait for at least 24 hours before chewing on the side of your mouth with your new filling. This type of filling takes about 24 hours to completely harden and reach maximum strength. A composite filling hardens immediately so you can usually eat as soon as you leave your dentist’s office but you may want to wait a couple of hours if you are still numb from the anaesthetic.
If you’ve had root canal treatment, you should avoid biting on hard foods until your treatment is complete. After your final treatment, your restored tooth may feel sore for a few days and this can be relieved with paracetamol or ibuprofen.
After dental implant surgery, whether performed in one stage or multiple stages, you may experience swelling of your gums and face, bruising of your skin and gums, pain at the implant site, and minor bleeding. Your dentist or oral surgeon will advise on pain medications or antibiotics after dental implant surgery.
After each stage of dental implant surgery, you may need to eat soft foods to allow the surgical site to heal. Your dental implant surgeon will usually use stitches that dissolve on their own but if not, they will remove them.
Ramsay offers simple and complex restorative dentistry including root canal work, gum disease treatment, and dental implants.
