Have you lost a tooth due to decay, injury, or gum disease? Losing a tooth can be more traumatic, both physically and mentally. Such teeth can be replaced with different types of restorations to restore the function and esthetics of the lost tooth. Teeth help in chewing and are crucial for a person’s smile. This blog will discuss different types of Dacula dental restorations.
Fillings
When your tooth gets decayed, but there is no pain, the decayed part can be removed, and the remaining tooth gets restored with a filling material. Different types of filling materials commonly get used like amalgam, and gold, tooth-colored filling called GIC and composite. Out of these composites has an advantage of strength and esthetics both.
Crowns
In case of pain or any symptoms in the tooth, root canal treatment is performed in the tooth. The remaining tooth becomes brittle, and it should be capped with a crown to give it strength. A crown helps in chewing and gives the appearance of a normal tooth.
Implants
One of the most sought after dental restorations, nowadays! Implants are metal elements placed deep into the bone with the help of surgical machines. Crown is placed on the top of the implant to aid in chewing. The most important benefit of the implant is its life. Implants functions and looks like a natural tooth.
Dentures
If more than one tooth is missing and has to be replaced, dentures are considered in such a case. Complete or partial dentures are given depending upon the patient’s condition, and a complete denture is delivered when all the teeth are missing. Fixed full dentures can also be made by placing implants in the bone called Implant-supported dentures. Overdenture uses the support from the remaining teeth in the mouth to support the prosthesis.
Inlay and Onlays
When the tooth is decayed or gets fractured due to some injury, inlay or onlay restoration can be done on such a tooth. An inlay is a restoration formed in the laboratory and fixed into the missing tooth portion. Onlay covers the tooth’s outer surface, which is damaged to support the remaining tooth structure.
Conclusion
Dental restoration is the most common procedure performed in the dental clinic. Dental restoration can solve your problem if the tooth is decayed, missing, or fractured. Perform dental hygiene regularly to avoid decay.
