Restorative Dentistry in Marbella
Treatments focused on early diagnosis, prevention and conservative restoration of teeth affected by decay, fractures or wear—always prioritising the preservation of your natural tooth.
Preserving the Health & Function of Your Natural Teeth
Restorative and conservative dentistry is the foundation of long-term oral health. Our clinical goal is to treat enamel and dentine lesions early using minimally invasive techniques, preventing minor issues from progressing into complex conditions or tooth loss.
When a tooth presents a cavity or partial fracture, we carefully remove the affected tissue and perform aesthetic dental fillings and reconstructions using biocompatible composite resins matched to the natural shade and anatomy of your teeth.
Alongside restorative care, our clinic coordinates dedicated specialists in endodontics (root canal treatment)—focused on diagnosing and relieving dental pain and nerve infection—and periodontics, dedicated to gum health. Once your mouth is healthy, we can also complement your care with cosmetic dentistry in Marbella.

Comprehensive Care for Teeth & Gums
Dental Fillings & Reconstructions
Treatment of tooth decay and dental fractures using aesthetic composite fillings. We restore the anatomical contour and chewing function of the tooth while preserving maximum healthy enamel.
Root Canal Treatment (Endodontics)
Diagnosis and treatment of acute dental pain when the dental pulp (nerve) becomes inflamed or infected due to deep decay or trauma. Using rotary instrumentation, we disinfect and seal the root canals to save the natural tooth.
Periodontics & Gum Maintenance
Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of gingivitis and periodontitis. We perform professional dental cleanings (prophylaxis), deep scaling and root planing, and ongoing periodontal maintenance programmes to protect your gums and supporting bone.
Inlays, Crowns & Dental Prostheses
When a tooth has lost significant structure, we reinforce and restore it using custom ceramic inlays/onlays, dental crowns and bridges, or fixed and removable prostheses. If a tooth cannot be saved, we assess replacement with dental implants.
Frequently asked questions about restorative dentistry & root canals
Answers to common patient questions about preserving and restoring natural teeth.
What is restorative dentistry and what dental problems does it treat?
Restorative and conservative dentistry encompasses all treatments aimed at preserving your natural teeth and avoiding extraction whenever clinically possible. It primarily treats lesions caused by tooth decay (caries), enamel wear and dental trauma or fractures. Depending on the affected tissue, it ranges from aesthetic dental fillings and reconstructions to root canal treatment, periodontal gum care and ceramic inlays or crowns.
How do I know if I need a dental filling or a root canal treatment?
The indication depends on how deep the lesion is. When decay affects only the enamel or superficial dentine and the pulp remains healthy, a dental filling or composite reconstruction is usually sufficient. If bacteria or inflammation reach the dental pulp (the nerve)—causing spontaneous pain, prolonged sensitivity or swelling—a root canal treatment (endodontics) is required after clinical and radiographic confirmation.
Is getting a dental filling or a root canal painful?
Both procedures are carried out under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during treatment in the dental chair. In the case of a root canal treatment, the primary purpose is precisely to relieve the toothache caused by an inflamed or infected nerve. Mild tenderness when biting may occur for a few days afterwards and is easily managed with your dentist's instructions.
How long does a composite dental filling last?
Modern composite fillings and dental reconstructions offer strong durability over many years, although no restoration lasts indefinitely. Their lifespan depends on the size of the cavity, daily oral hygiene, dietary habits and factors such as bruxism (clenching or grinding your teeth). During routine check-ups we inspect the margins of existing fillings so they can be polished, repaired or replaced in time.
Can a heavily damaged tooth be saved without extracting it?
In many cases, extensively damaged teeth can be preserved by combining root canal treatment with a reinforced core build-up, a custom ceramic inlay or a full dental crown to protect the tooth from fracturing. However, not every tooth can be saved: if there is a vertical root fracture or severe bone loss, our team will discuss extraction and replacement with dental implants.
