One missing tooth is embarrassing, and many missing teeth are worse, but a dentist can remedy this. Learn all about dental restoration and the benefits here.

If you have a broken or missing tooth it can really knock your confidence. Not only that, but it can also bring about difficulties when you’re eating and cause you to develop infections and tooth decay.

There are several dental restoration options that may be available to you to help you to bring back your natural smile.

But what is dental restoration and how does it benefit you?

In this article, we'll look at the various options available to you.

If you’ve got damaged or missing teeth, then dental restoration may help to restore the look and function of your teeth. This may include getting crowns or implants, having bridges fitted, or having tooth-colored fillings .

Whatever problem you have with your teeth, there is a restorative treatment that can help you. Speak to your dentist about the options that apply to you.

If you have lost teeth due to injuries then it can leave you with gaps in your mouth. You may be unable to smile with confidence.

By having restorative treatments such as having crowns or dental implants fitted, or by getting veneers, inlays, or onlays on your teeth the look of your teeth will return to their natural glory.

In many cases, the replacement crowns or veneers used will be designed to match the rest of your teeth, meaning that you will have a natural-looking smile once more.

When you have missing or damaged teeth, you may not be able to chew certain types of food. Your bite may become impaired by the gaps in your mouth and this can cause you to not enjoy meals as much as you once may have done.

In addition to problems with your bite, you may experience sensitivity in your teeth due to the damage to them.

By having a restorative procedure carried out, you will be able to restore the function of your teeth. Issues surrounding your bite will become a thing of the past and it may also help with any sensitivity that you are experiencing.

By having restorative dental procedures carried out, you will be able to reduce the risk of developing an infection in your teeth or from getting tooth decay.

When you have broken or missing teeth, you run the risk of picking up infections or allowing plaque bacteria to build up in or on areas of your teeth that would not normally be exposed.

Having treatments such as a filling or having dental implants fitted will mean that your teeth will be repaired or replaced to prevent any unnecessary decay from occurring.

Dentures are one of the most straightforward types of restorative dentistry. They involve having removable replacement teeth made for you.

You can have full or partial dentures fitted to replace several or all of your teeth.

One of the most popular forms of dental restoration is dental implants. Dental implants replace the entirety of the tooth, including the root.

The way that dental implants work is that there is a replacement crown that fits directly into the jawbone. This is done using a small screw made from titanium.

Dental implants offer a permanent solution to the problem of missing teeth. Once they have been fitted, they cannot be removed and will stay in place and give you a solid bite.

Dental implants look more natural than dentures. This is because a dental implant is specifically designed to match the rest of your teeth.

Having dental implants will reduce the chances of developing cavities in neighboring teeth. This will also reduce any risk of sensitivity in your other teeth.

There are two types of dental implants. These are endosteal implants and subperiosteal implants.

Endosteal implants involve the screw going directly into your jawbone. This provides maximum stability for your teeth.



With subperiosteal implants, the crown attaches to a screw that goes into your gums but is not drilled into your jaw.

What Are Dental Crowns?

Crowns are caps shaped like teeth. These can be placed over a broken tooth to restore its size and shape. It can also restore its appearance and strength.



A crown can be used to hold a dental bridge in place or to cover a dental implant.

What Are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are false teeth designed to replace one or more missing teeth. A dental bridge is held in place on either side by a crown. Bridges are cemented into position and they are permanent.

What Are Fillings?

The most common restorative dental procedure is tooth filling. Fillings can be used to repair damage to your teeth in the form of cavities.



Teeth can be filled with either a silver or a gold amalgam. Alternatively, a tooth-colored material called composite resin can be used.
