Overview of dental restoration

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.

Cases requiring dental restoration

Cases of tooth loss (loss of one or more teeth or complete tooth loss in an arch)

Cases of damaged teeth such as broken, fractured, or chipped teeth...

Cases of dental diseases that require restoration to protect the teeth and ensure proper chewing function and aesthetics, such as tooth decay, pulpitis, enamel erosion, and enamel hypoplasia...

Cases where the teeth have aesthetic imperfections such as gaps, crowding, mild overbite or underbite... but the patient cannot afford or does not want orthodontic treatment.

Classification of dental restorations

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.

1. Fixed dental restoration

Dental implant

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.

Dental filling

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.

Inlay, onlay, overlay

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.

Dental crowns (porcelain)

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.

Porcelain Bridge

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.

Dental Veneer

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.

2. Removable Dental Prosthetics

Dentures (hard plastic denture, soft plastic denture, framework denture...)

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.
