About restorative dentistry

Restorative Dentistry

Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating dental problems related to the function and structure of the teeth and their supporting structures. The primary goal of restorative dentistry is to repair, restore, or replace damaged or missing teeth to improve oral health, function, and aesthetics. It involves a range of procedures aimed at restoring the integrity and appearance of a patient’s smile.

About Restorative Dentistry

Common aspects of restorative dentistry

Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have cavities or minor damage. Common filling materials include amalgam (silver fillings) and composite resin (tooth-colored fillings).

Dental Bridges

Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by attaching artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants.

Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth. They can be partial (replacing some missing teeth) or complete (replacing all teeth in an arch).

Dental Inlays and Onlays

Inlays and onlays are used to restore teeth with moderate damage or decay. They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin and are custom-fitted to the tooth.

Dental Bonding

Bonding is a procedure in which tooth-colored composite resin is applied to repair minor cosmetic issues, such as chipped or slightly misaligned teeth.

Dental Crowns

Crowns are used to restore the shape, size, and strength of a damaged or weakened tooth. They can be made from various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both.

Dental Implants

Implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They serve as artificial tooth roots to support dental crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Root Canal Therapy

Root canals are performed to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp. The procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the root canal, and sealing it to save the tooth.

Dental Veneers

Veneers are thin shells placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance by covering stains, discolorations, or minor imperfections.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

This comprehensive approach combines multiple restorative and cosmetic procedures to address complex dental issues and fully restore a patient's oral health and appearance.

Restorative dentistry plays a crucial role in maintaining and improving oral health, function, and aesthetics. It enables patients to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and smile confidently. At Déntica, we specialize in restorative dentistry work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals for a healthy and functional smile.
