Restoring teeth can be done quickly and easily. If the doctor is an experienced specialist, then he will step by step create the necessary shape of the teeth. For restoration, light-curing composite material is used.
Thanks to modern technology, doctors imitate the natural shape of the tooth, which cannot be distinguished from the real one.
What is a dental restoration procedure?
This is a special technology that allows you to repeat the normal structure of the dentition by the so-called imitation of incisal tissue. Various artificial materials are used for restoration.
It is possible to restore not only those incisors that have been injured throughout life, but also congenital problems. Thanks to this procedure, doctors correct injured incisors, give them a natural color and eliminate age-related abrasion.
Restoring incisors is much more expensive than timely prevention and treatment. Therefore, in order to have beautiful healthy incisors, it is necessary to conduct a preventive examination at the dentist at least once every six months.
Who is engaged in cosmetic restoration of teeth?
Cosmetic restoration is not an easy task, so you need to choose a qualified specialist. You can seek help in a private office of a dental hospital or in a private clinic. The procedure is affordable and costs much less than the installation of prostheses or crowns.
Pros and cons of cosmetic restoration
Cosmetic restoration is also called artistic. Thanks to her, the incisors have minimal preparation. That is, the dentist removes only dead tissue in the area of deformed incisors.
There is such a procedure as the installation of an artificial crown. In this case, the entire surface of the tooth is ground, and sometimes it is removed. But cosmetic restoration allows you to completely save all the incisors and is much cheaper.
Thanks to cosmetic restoration, the doctor can eliminate all traces of carious damage to the incisors. The anatomical shape of the chewing incisors is also restored. In addition, doctors hide various enamel defects, namely, erosion and wedge-shaped disorders.
After cosmetic restoration, all teeth become even and have a natural color and shine. The only disadvantage of this procedure is a considerable list of contraindications.
Cosmetic restoration is carried out far from the first year. Therefore, dentists have already identified a number of restrictions on the procedure.
The main contraindications are:
- Patients with a pacemaker. In this case, photopolymerizers can significantly disrupt the pulse frequency of the installed apparatus. There is even a risk of cardiac arrest.
- Allergic reactions of the patient to the adhesive system, or rather, to its constituent components and composite. Such an allergy is quite rare, but still there, and the procedure in this case can adversely affect the patient’s health.
- Impossible isolation of the oral cavity or dentition from moisture.
There are also relative contraindications that prevent cosmetic restoration:
- Pathological abrasion of incisors from an incorrectly set bite. Before carrying out an incisive restoration, it is necessary to resolve the bite issue. This issue is dealt with by an orthopedic surgeon.
- Deep incisal overlap and tight contact between incisal rows. In this case, the work must be carried out carefully and accurately. Doctors should increase the length of the teeth, restore the cutting edge and the tooth at the base.
- Abnormal incisor tapping and chewing activity.
How is the procedure?
Everyone wants to have a perfect smile, but this is not always possible, which is why there is such a procedure as cosmetic restoration of teeth and incisors.
For each patient, the procedure is carried out individually. Some people need to fix birth defects, some people need to fix defects associated with injuries, and some people need to eliminate caries.
If the tooth decay is insignificant, then its restoration can be carried out only with the use of filling material. In any other case, a tab is used, a veneer, if necessary, a pin can be placed. Such restoration is not a simple filling.
This is done by a specialist who must know absolutely everything about the materials used in the restoration.
It is commonly believed that only the front teeth are restored, but this is not so. It is important to have not only an aesthetic appearance, but also to use your teeth for their intended purpose, that is, to chew and bite food without any difficulties.
As dental practice shows, back teeth are more often prone to damage, and if they are restored with fillings and anatomical features are not taken into account, then caries will appear again.
It is not so important which teeth will be restored – it is very important to restore their integrity and health. Otherwise, caries will only spread with greater speed and localization. As a rule, caries first appears in the form of a brown border on the tooth enamel, then it gradually begins to penetrate into the tooth itself. If you do not start treatment in a timely manner, then the tooth will slowly collapse from the inside.
It is possible that caries will eventually reach the nerve, thereby causing a serious inflammatory process. The advantages of cosmetic restoration are that the doctor eliminates chips and chips during the procedure, if any, of course.
Just one procedure is enough to completely restore the tooth.
With the help of a similar procedure, the teeth are lengthened or shortened, narrowed or expanded. You can also change their thickness. Sometimes doctors even correct the position of the dentition and insert a protruding one into one row.
More often, people seek to restore the natural color of their teeth and get rid of interdental gaps.
If you follow the hygiene of the oral cavity, then such services are unlikely to be needed. But if you still need help, you can contact the doctors.
This procedure will make your smile perfect.
