Dental Restoration
A dental restoration is a procedure to restore missing tooth structure due to accidents or infections. Dental restorations can be made of different materials: metals, dental composites, glass ionomer cements and porcelain.
Dental restorations can be direct or indirect.
Direct restorations are those made directly on the tooth, while indirect restorations are those made externally and then placed on the tooth, such as crowns, bridges and veneers.
Dental implants are a restoration technique that is being widely used. The implants are attached with a screw to the mandibular bone. They preserve more of the natural tooth structure and last much longer than traditional dentures.
