If you have damaged your teeth, you don’t need cosmetic enhancements to smile again. What you need is a visit to the dentist. There are various restorative treatments available at your dental clinic. Let’s look at the most popular ones.

Dental bridges: These are artificial replacements of your tooth. A bridge helps fill in the gap created by a missing tooth. It is made of porcelain or metal.

Dental crowns: These are restorations for teeth that have been severely affected by cavities or badly broken or damaged. The crown essentially restores the shape of the teeth by filling in the gaps. The adjacent teeth’s shape and structure help design the perfect crowns. A crown is typically made of porcelain. However, crowns made of other restorative materials are also available.

Inlays: Inlays are a restorative treatment for cracked or broken teeth when fillings don’t suffice. Inlays are used for a tooth that is not too damaged to require crowns. An inlay is made of porcelain, gold, or composite resins. It is typically applied to the chewing area of the tooth.

Onlays: They are a type of inlays that cover more than one tooth. Onlays are spread over the chewing surface of multiple teeth.

Dental fillings: In this process, the cavities that have been created in the teeth due to decay are filled in. Fillings are made of composite materials, metals, alloys, or porcelain. Fillings are made to match the exact shade of your teeth so that they do not look out of place.

Don’t shy away from visiting the dentist if there is a problem.

Keep smiling!
