What are the Different Restorative Dental Procedures?

Dental Crowns 

Dental crowns have become a sought-after procedure for many dental concerns. They are tooth-colored caps that we place on your teeth to restore their normal shape, size, and functionality. We suggest them in case of chipped, broken, or fractured teeth. The application of crowns also extends for cosmetic purposes. Besides this, we also attach them to your teeth after a root canal procedure. 

Dental crowns are made in several materials – porcelain, ceramic, metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal, to name a few. We take the impressions of your teeth and create them to match the appearance of your natural teeth. 

Dental Bridges 

Dental bridges are another full-coverage restoration that acts as a replacement for missing teeth. As the name suggests, this procedure is used to bridge the gap formed by your missing teeth. We may perform this treatment in case of tooth extraction, missing teeth, and dental decay. 

Bridges are a more affordable option than other restorations like dental implants. The recovery time is faster. The entire restoration also uses crowns on either side to support the bridge. 

Tooth Fillings

Dental fillings are used to remove decay from your teeth and fill the hole with a tooth-colored composite resin. Other materials such as silver, gold, amalgam, porcelain, etc., are also used to fill your teeth and improve their appearance and functionality. 

The procedure is straightforward. After removing the infection or decay from your teeth, we clean and disinfect the area and use a suitable filling material to fill the cavity. The whole restoration is carried out under a local anesthetic.
