What is Restorative Dentistry?
​
Restorative dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the repair and replacement of missing or damaged teeth. Restorative dentistry procedures are designed to restore the function and appearance of teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or disease. Common restorative dentistry procedures include:
​
-
Fillings: Fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities. There are several types of fillings available, including amalgam (silver), composite (tooth-colored), gold, and ceramic.
-
Crowns: Crowns, also known as caps, are used to cover and protect a damaged tooth. Crowns are made of a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and metal.
-
Bridges: Bridges are used to replace missing teeth. They are made up of one or more crowns that are anchored to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the missing tooth.
-
Dentures: Dentures are removable appliances that are used to replace missing teeth. There are two types of dentures: complete dentures, which are used to replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, and partial dentures, which are used to replace a few missing teeth.
-
Implants: Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are used to support a crown, bridge, or denture. Implants are surgically placed in the jawbone and can provide a strong and stable foundation for replacement teeth.
