Restorative Dentistry

Dental restoration is a procedure to repair chipped, cracked, fractured, damaged or decayed tooth and to restore the function, integrity and morphology of the missing tooth structure. The affected part is removed and then it’s filled with dental restorative material called composite. The shade is selected to resemble the shade of natural tooth.

Patients who are disturbed from tooth trauma or decay would be the ideal patient for the Inlay and Onlay treatment. This method has been developed for the alternative to the dental crown, which requires less tooth grinding compared to crown procedure. This method helps to glow the appearance of the teeth and form a strong structure. These are fabricated from CAD/CAM Lab.

GOLD INLAY & ONLAY

OVERLAY

An overlay is used when the damage is a little more extensive. First, the decay will be removed from the tooth and a mold will be taken of the area and sent to a dental lab. A restoration is then created to perfectly fit your mouth out of porcelain, gold, or composite resin.

DENTAL CROWN
Dentists use dental crowns in order to restore your tooth’s strength, shape and size and also helps restore your natural looking smile.

TYPES OF DENTAL CROWNS

A. METAL FREE CROWN/ ALL CERAMIC / ZIRCONIA CROWN
(EXCELLENT AESTHETICS , HIGHLY PRECISE & LIFE LASTING)

DENTAL Zirconia crowns has been the choice of restoration for posterior crowns, due to its superior strength and stability to withstand functional stresses.

The paradigm shift in dentistry for life like restorations that mimic natural tooth structure based on perceived and actual aesthetics and functional patient.

B. PFM CROWN ( PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL)
DMLS CAD/CAM PFM (PORCELAIN FUSED TO METAL

• A certified system for additive manufacturing of new generation PFMs, DMLS. Uses the German imported EOSINT M270 laser sintering machine. The metal frame is fabricated using CAD files by sintering special Co-Cr-Mb-based powder layer by layer.
• The CAM process facilitates equal space for ceramic binding and avoids ceramic chip-off.
• The fabrication of long span bridges through sintering eliminates rocking.

GOLD CROWN WITH PORCELAIN
(Best Metal- Porcelain Bonding Ever)

They are a hybrid between porcelain and metal crowns. The entire crown has a metal layer underlying and porcelain / ceramic on top of it.

GOLD CROWN —– BEST CROWN EVER (BUT COSTLY)

Gold has been used in dentistry for tooth repair for more than 4,000 years. Dentists today most often combine gold with other metals, such as palladium, nickel, or chromium. They don’t wear down easily and require minimal tooth removal to be applied. These crowns are very durable and can last for decades.

METAL CROWN WITH ACRYLIC FACING — OUTDATED

• Acrylic resins are plastic materials that are processed by means of polymerization in special furnaces at 150-200 degrees Celsius (300-400 Fahrenheit).
• It is not indicated to place acrylic resins on the occlusal side of teeth because of the low resistance. Their main indication is for temporary prosthetic devices.
• The main advantage is their low cost and easy manufacturing but they are significantly inferior to both porcelain and dental composite.

D. ACRYLIC CROWN — TEMPARARY CROWN

Temporary crowns can be made in your dentist’s office, whereas most permanent crowns are typically made in a dental laboratory.
