Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry aims to restore the natural form, function, and appearance of teeth affected by decay, fractures, wear, or other structural damage. Composite fillings and aesthetic restorations are performed while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Treatment is tailored to the condition of each tooth and the individual needs of the patient.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, pain while chewing, and a visible cavity or chip in the tooth are the most common signs.
Composite (tooth-colored) resin is the most commonly used material today, thanks to its durability, natural appearance, and reasonable cost. Other materials may be considered depending on the specific case.
Composite fillings typically last 5-7 years, and this can be extended further with good oral care and regular check-ups.
