They are meant to restore the health, functionality, and appearance of the smile. These treatments can address various issues, such as cavities, infections, fractures, and tooth loss. They are widely used across different age groups and can frequently be done in a single appointment.

Types of Tooth Restorations

Many types of dental treatments are referred to as restorations. Below are five of the most common tooth restoration treatments:

Dental Implants

Dental Implants are artificial teeth crafted to mimic the look and function of your natural teeth. They correct any of the challenges linked with dentures, such as eating difficulties and speech impediments. Moreover, implants help prevent common issues resulting from missing teeth, like tooth shifting and jawbone deterioration.

Inlay Restorations

Inlay restorations are personalized fillings created from materials like composite, gold, or tooth-colored porcelain. They offer a superior alternative to traditional silver and composite fillings. Additionally, they serve as an excellent solution for damaged or decayed teeth.

Onlay Restorations

Also referred to as partial crowns, onlay dental restorations are a good choice for larger cavities. This is because they require less tooth structure removal than crowns.

Composite Fillings

Composite fillings resemble natural tooth colors and are more durable than conventional fillings. Built to withstand pressure and wear, they often endure for a decade or longer. Their aesthetic appeal makes them a popular choice.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns are protective caps placed over damaged teeth, restoring their shape and function. They are used when extensive decay makes a tooth too damaged for standard fillings.

Benefits of Tooth Restorations

Tooth restorations offer numerous advantages. These include enhancing both the appearance and functionality of teeth. They contribute to reduced pain and sensitivity while also preventing further damage, infection, and decay.

If you have a broken tooth or chipped one or have lost your teeth, you should get a restoration. Our dentist will recommend the best restoration options after examination. Please call our office to start your treatment plan.
