Preventive care is the easiest and least expensive way to keep your smile looking great. Even if your teeth are broken or badly damaged, restoration dentistry can bring back the beauty of your smile. This blog post will discuss several ways to fix your teeth and save your smile. After reading this detailed guide, you’ll be able to make a good choice about dental restoration.

Dental Crowns

If your tooth is broken, rotting, or cracked, a crown can fix its size, shape, and strength. Crowns are caps that are made to fit your tooth and are glued in place. Crowns can be made of many different things, like gold or ceramic. Still, many like porcelain crowns fused to metal because they last longer and look more like their natural teeth.

Dental Bridges 

If you need to replace one or more teeth, your dentist may suggest a tooth bridge. This method replaces your real teeth with ceramic or another strong material. Dental bridges fill in gaps in your smile, fix your bite, help you speak clearly, and stop other teeth from moving into the space. They can last your whole life if you take care of your teeth and go to the dentist for regular checkups.

Dental Fillings

Fillings are the most common way to fix broken teeth at the dentist. Dentists use fillings to fix the damage that tooth decay has done to your teeth. Fillings can be made from porcelain, amalgam, gold, silver, and other things. They also smooth the surfaces of the teeth to make it easier to bite and chew. Most people here say that their pain is much less or goes away completely after surgery.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are another good way to replace teeth lost because of gum disease, tooth decay, bone loss, a broken tooth, an infection, or a fracture. It can also replace bridges when the teeth next to the missing tooth aren’t strong enough to hold them up. Because they are put right into the jawbone, endosteal Implants last longer than dentures or bridges. After the implant is put in, you can brush and floss it like any other tooth.

Dental Bonding

Do you have any teeth that are broken, chipped, or stained? Bonding your teeth together can be helpful. In this easy, painless process, a composite resin made of tough, long-lasting plastic is shaped and stuck to the tooth. Dental bonding can change damaged teeth’ shape and/or color to make them look more natural without a long recovery time or multiple trips to the dentist.

Inlays/Onlays

These dental restorations are used when a tooth is too broken or rotten for a filling but not broken enough for a crown. Inlays and onlays help you keep as much of your natural tooth as possible. They also last longer than direct fillings, but you must visit the dentist more often.

Veneers

Have you ever wondered why the teeth of your favorite celebrities are so white and perfect? They probably had veneers, thin shells made of porcelain, put on their teeth. In cosmetic dentistry, veneers are often used to cover discolored or damaged teeth. They can also be employed to restore teeth that are broken, chipped, crooked, or misshapen.

Conclusion

When you need help with your teeth, you should call a good dentist as soon as possible. The longer you wait between major tooth damage and dental procedures to fix it, the less likely it is that the fixes will make your smile look healthy and natural. The best way to avoid physical and financial pain is to plan for your dental services by researching and talking to your dentist.
