Restorative Dentistry

What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry focuses on repairing and restoring teeth that are damaged, decayed, or weakened. The goal is to restore function, strength, and appearance while preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible. Treatments are designed to help you maintain a healthy, comfortable smile in the long term.

Dental caries (cavities)
Dental caries, commonly known as cavities, occur when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that damage tooth enamel. If left untreated, caries can lead to pain, infection, and more serious dental problems. Early detection and timely treatment are essential to prevent further damage.

Dental fillings
Dental fillings are used to repair teeth affected by cavities or minor damage. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the space is filled with a safe, durable material that restores the tooth’s strength and function. Fillings help prevent further decay and maintain a healthy bite.

Composite fillings
Composite fillings are tooth-colored restorations made from a durable material that blends naturally with your teeth. They are suitable for both front and back teeth, providing a natural appearance while restoring function. Composite fillings are applied in layers and hardened with a special curing light, creating a strong and seamless restoration.

Diagnosis and treatment planning
Before any restorative procedure, we carefully examine your teeth and take X-rays if necessary. We discuss the extent of the decay, available treatment options, and the most suitable materials for your needs. The treatment plan is explained clearly so you know what to expect during and after the procedure.

Aftercare and long-term results
Restored teeth should be maintained with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups. Composite fillings are strong and durable, and with proper care, they can last many years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding habits that may damage teeth, such as chewing hard objects, helps ensure long-term success.
