Dental restorations save teeth from loss or the need for extraction. And today’s restorations also consider smile aesthetics. In other words, a dental restoration can save your tooth without using silver or other unsightly materials. Most restorations blend seamlessly with your tooth enamel.
What Are Dental Restorations?
Dental restorations in Katoomba, NSW, may be any of the following:
- Dental crowns
- Tooth-coloured fillings
- Dental bonding
- Dental veneers
- CORiTEC same-day restorations
We can also ‘restore’ your smile when teeth are missing via dental implants, dental bridges, or dentures—implant-supported or removable.
Dental crowns are tooth caps customised to look like your teeth. They fit over teeth, creating a buffer between your bite and the at-risk tooth.
A tooth-coloured filling is a modern and aesthetic way to treat tooth decay. Some patients with silver fillings ask our dentists to replace these with the tooth-coloured option. Dental bonding can conceal chips and other imperfections in your teeth and relies on the same material used in tooth-coloured fillings.
A dental veneer is a thin but strong tooth shell fixed to the front of a tooth. It conceals imperfections and offers some protection to the tooth beneath.
A same-day restoration falls between a filling and a crown in strength and usage.
Caring for Dental Restorations
The good news is that today’s tooth restorations don’t require additional steps or products for upkeep. You treat them like teeth that have not been restored.
- Brush and floss daily
- Visit your dentist on schedule for check-ups and cleans
- Discuss oral health changes with our tea
Don’t use your restorations to open bottles or for anything other than chewing and smiling.
Your dentist may provide more specific instructions based on your unique case.
