Dental restoration is a branch of the Oral and Maxillofacial specialty that involves replacing missing teeth using dentures or other methods of creating artificial teeth. It also includes the reconstruction of other oral defects, such as missing parts of teeth and issues with the structures of the jawbone and toothbone.
Fixed restoration: Dental implant, dental crown, dental bridge, veneer, inlay, onlay
Removable prosthetics: Partial removable dentures, complete removable dentures, with various materials such as framework dentures, flexible dentures, and rigid dentures.
Dental restoration with implants is one of the most complete and optimal techniques for replacing missing teeth today. In this procedure, the dentist will place an implant post into the site of the missing tooth to replace the tooth root, and then a dental crown (porcelain crown) is placed on top to replace the missing tooth crown. The implant placement technique does not damage adjacent teeth since there is no need to prepare the surrounding teeth, and it is the most compatible with the natural health of the mouth. The results are highly effective, improving chewing function stronger than natural teeth, as well as providing excellent aesthetics and durability.
When bacteria destroy tooth enamel and create a hole, it is called a cavity. Small cavities are treated with dental fillings. In this process, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then fill the hole with filling material. Dental fillings help prevent the progression of tooth decay and reduce the risk of further tooth damage.
For teeth that have been damaged and disrupted, such as large cavities, tooth fractures, or chipped teeth, dental fillings may not provide long-term effectiveness. In such cases, partial restorations like inlays, onlays, and overlays show superior results in restoring the tooth structure while ensuring minimal invasiveness to the remaining healthy tooth tissue.
Porcelain crowns are placed over the natural tooth stump, often used in cases such as tooth decay, pulpitis, or severe discoloration. While porcelain crowns offer aesthetic benefits and allow for comfortable chewing, they require tooth reduction, which is an invasive procedure. If you get a crown placed at an unreliable clinic, it may lead to various risks and compromise the durability of the restoration.
A porcelain bridge is a method of restoring missing teeth by using adjacent teeth as support. The materials used are either all-ceramic crowns or metal-ceramic crowns (commonly made from titanium). A porcelain bridge helps restore chewing function effectively, provides a natural color resembling real teeth, has a short treatment time, and is relatively cost-effective.
With the veneer bonding method, the dentist removes a thin layer from the outer surface of the tooth, then attaches a porcelain veneer to cover imperfections. Veneers are used for cases of stained teeth, enamel cracks, or gaps between teeth. This technique creates a new appearance for the teeth, enhances aesthetics, has a quick treatment time, and lasts for 8-10 years, while preserving the natural tooth structure as much as possible.
This is a prosthetic method applied to cases of tooth loss and is not suitable for chipped or broken teeth. The denture will be fabricated for the patient to wear for chewing and can be removed for oral hygiene.

Tooth restoration is the process of restoring lost or damaged teeth using methods such as dental crowns, dental implants, or dental bridges. It should be performed when teeth are lost or severely damaged, affecting aesthetics and chewing function, while also preventing future oral health issues.
Porcelain crowns are highly durable, typically lasting between 10 to 15 years or even longer if properly cared for. However, the lifespan of porcelain crowns also depends on eating habits, oral hygiene, and the technique used during placement. Regular check-ups will help extend the lifespan of the dental restoration.
Dental implants involve placing a titanium post into the jawbone to replace the lost tooth root, providing a foundation for a porcelain crown on top. A dental bridge, on the other hand, uses adjacent teeth as supports to anchor a replacement tooth. Implants are highly durable and do not affect the neighboring natural teeth, while a dental bridge may require the adjacent teeth to be shaved down.
During the restoration process, the dentist will administer anesthesia to minimize pain, ensuring that you don't feel discomfort. After the procedure, you may experience slight sensitivity for a few days, but this will gradually subside. For dental implants, it may take a few days for healing and swelling to reduce.
After the restoration, it is important to maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day, using dental floss, and mouthwash to remove plaque. Avoid eating hard or chewy foods to prevent damage to the restoration. Regular check-ups with your dentist every 6 months are recommended to ensure the restoration is well-maintained.
