What are Dental Restorations?
Restorative dentistry refers to the various treatments and procedures used to bring damaged or decayed teeth back to their proper function and appearance. From simple fillings to complex restorations, aesthetic restorative dentistry addresses both the functional and cosmetic needs of your teeth, ensuring a healthy, natural-looking smile. At Dental Essence, we offer a wide range of dental restorative services, including fillings, crowns, bridges, and dental implants, all designed to improve both your oral health and the aesthetics of your smile.
Types of Dental Restorations
1. Veneers – (Porcelain and Composite)
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of teeth, enhancing their appearance and providing a natural, beautiful smile. Made from high-quality materials, veneers effectively address imperfections such as stains, chips, gaps, and misalignment.
2. Crowns – (Porcelain, Emax, Porcelain bonded to metal, Zirconia)
Crowns are caps that fit over a damaged or decayed tooth, providing it with strength and restoring its shape. Available in various materials, crowns provide different levels of durability and aesthetics, making them a key component of aesthetic restorative dentistry.
3. Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and Onlays are custom-made dental restorations used to repair moderate to severe tooth decay or damage. These precision-crafted pieces are designed to fit snugly within the contours of your tooth, providing strength and support while maintaining a natural appearance. Inlays are used for damage contained within the tooth, while onlays extends over one or more cusps.
4. Composite fillings
These are resin fillers that are placed inside of a tooth to fill defects from trauma and decay. They blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, offering a discreet and aesthetically pleasing solution. Additionally, composite fillings are durable, can withstand normal chewing forces, and help restore the tooth’s structure while preserving its integrity.Cost of Dental Restorations in Singapore
