Restorative dentistry
Restorative Dentistry means restoring lost tissue to teeth, for example, through direct restorations, such as making composite fillings, or indirect restorations, such as making porcelain veneers or crowns.
In addition, teeth may have been lost in their entirety. These can be replaced with indirect restorations, such as a bridge or a crown on an implant. If several teeth have been lost, a removable restoration, such as a plate or frame, may also be made.
The restorative dentist diagnoses the overall oral situation. If there are major problems in the mouth such as: a slowly collapsing bite, caries, fracture or change in position, he will make a step-by-step plan to address these problems. It is up to the restorative dentist to prevent deterioration and restore optimal dental function.
