Restorative dentistry repairs teeth that are broken, decayed or missing, so you can chew and smile with ease again. Our team at Luka Dental Care on Aldersbrook Road in London, Ontario has done this work for local families since 1972. Our own dental lab is in the building, so many crowns are made and placed in one visit.
We see patients from across London, including Hyde Park, Masonville, Westmount, Byron and Sunningdale. Whether you have a chipped tooth, a worn filling or a gap you have lived with for years, we can help. Before treatment starts, we walk you through each option, its cost and every step.
A long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. We use digital technology to plan your implant precisely and restore it with a beautiful crown.
Today’s dentures are more comfortable and lifelike than ever. Whether you need a full or partial set, we’ll custom fit them to your bite and facial features.
When a tooth is damaged or weakened, a crown restores its strength and protects it for the long haul. We often use our in-house lab to create crowns faster and with more precision.
Bridges can replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to your natural teeth or implants. We make sure they fit well, look natural, and support your bite.
When decay or a crack reaches the nerve, a root canal can save the tooth. We clean and seal the inside, and a crown from our lab often finishes it.
A chip, a crack or teeth worn down by grinding can often be repaired. We match the fix to the damage, from bonding to veneers or a crown.
A damaged or missing tooth affects more than your smile. Chewing gets harder, your bite can shift, and you may feel shy about smiling. Whether you need one tooth fixed or your whole smile rebuilt, we help you eat and talk with ease again.

Here is what your appointment may include:
A thorough exam with digital X-rays or scans
Clear explanation of what’s going on and your options
Discussion of goals, budget, and timeline
Digital preview (when applicable) of what your smile will look like
A personalized treatment plan with no pressure or rush
Our two general dentists explain your options in plain words, because a dental problem can affect both your bite and your confidence.
Whether you need a same-day crown or a full set of new teeth, our kind team in London, Ontario tells you what to expect.
Restorative dentistry has come a long way, and we have invested in tools that make your visit smoother and faster. Digital scans replace goopy impressions, and 3D imaging helps us plan implants and custom restorations. Our in-house lab and milling units let us make strong ceramic crowns, often in a single visit.

For many patients, yes. Our in-house dental lab lets us design and fabricate many crowns on site, often in a single visit, instead of sending impressions to an outside lab and waiting two to three weeks. Same-day crowns are not right for every case, but when they are, you walk out with a permanent restoration the same day you walk in.
With good home care and regular cleanings, modern restorations last a long time. Composite fillings typically last seven to ten years, crowns and bridges often last fifteen years or longer, and dental implants can last a lifetime. Your hygienist will keep an eye on every restoration during your routine visits.
A crown caps a damaged tooth that still has a healthy root. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using neighbouring teeth as anchors. An implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, with a crown or bridge on top. A denture replaces multiple missing teeth and can be removable or implant-supported. We'll walk you through which option fits your situation.
Most insurance plans cover restorative work at a higher percentage than cosmetic work, since these procedures restore function. Coverage varies by plan, and annual maximums apply. We verify your specific coverage before treatment and provide a clear written estimate of your out-of-pocket cost.
Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two. Mild soreness for the first 24 to 48 hours is common and managed with over-the-counter pain relief. We'll send you home with clear aftercare instructions, and our team is available if anything feels off during recovery.
