Tooth Restoration

Several factors, including oral health problems or trauma, can create the need for restorative dental procedures. Our team is well-equipped to handle such matters regardless of the cause, with the main focus being on getting back the full functionality of the mouth and improving the aesthetic appeal. We do that by either repairing the salvageable teeth or replacing those that are not. 

Tooth restoration by highly trained dentists is essential in preventing decay that could arise from vulnerable cracked or chipped teeth. Leaving such damage without care, no matter how minimal it seems, can result in more problems that end up being too costly to fix. Whether the injury appears to be on the surface or affects the pulp, call us for immediate evaluation and an effective restoration plan.

We only consider a replacement if the tooth is beyond repair or missing.

Tooth restoration in dentistry refers to the process of repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth to restore their function, aesthetics, and overall oral health. There are various techniques and materials used in tooth restoration, and the choice depends on the nature and extent of the dental problem. Here are some common methods of tooth restoration in dentistry:

1

Dental Fillings

  • Used to repair cavities caused by decay.
  • Common filling materials include amalgam (silver), composite resin (tooth-colored), gold, and ceramic.
  • The dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth and fills the space with the chosen material.

2

Dental Crowns
  • Crowns are tooth-shaped caps that cover a damaged or weakened tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
  • They are commonly used for severely decayed teeth, cracked teeth, or after a root canal treatment.
  • Crowns can be made from various materials, including metal alloys, porcelain, or a combination of both (porcelain-fused-to-metal).

3

Dental Bridges
  • Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.
  • They help restore the functionality and appearance of the missing teeth.

4

Dental Implant
  • Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone.
  • They serve as a foundation for replacement teeth (crowns) and provide a stable and durable solution for missing teeth.
  • Implants can be a good option for individuals with one or more missing teeth.

5

Dentures
  • Dentures are removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth.
  • There are partial dentures for individuals with some natural teeth remaining and full dentures for those who have lost all their teeth.
  • Dentures help restore chewing ability, speech, and facial aesthetics.

6

Root Canal Therapy
  • Used to treat infected or inflamed dental pulp (the innermost part of the tooth).
  • The dentist removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the root canal, and then fills and seals the space to prevent further infection.
  • A tooth that has undergone root canal therapy may require a crown for additional protection and strength.

7

Cosmetic Bonding
  • Involves applying a tooth-colored composite resin to repair chipped or discolored teeth.
  • This is a less invasive option for minor aesthetic improvements.

Tooth restoration is a crucial aspect of dentistry, as it helps preserve oral health, functionality, and aesthetics. Dentists carefully assess each case to determine the most appropriate restoration method based on the patient’s needs and the condition of their teeth. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for maintaining the longevity of dental restorations.
