Dental Restoration: Complete Guide to Repairing and Rebuilding Your Smile
Damaged, decayed, or missing teeth can affect your health, appearance, and confidence. That’s where dental restoration comes in — helping you regain your smile, function, and oral well-being.
At StarShine Dental Clinic, we provide comprehensive restorative dental solutions tailored to your unique needs. Whether it's a small cavity or full-mouth reconstruction, we’ve got you covered.
What is Dental Restoration?
Dental restoration refers to the procedures that repair, rebuild, or replace teeth that are:
- Decayed
- Worn down
- Cracked or broken
- Missing
These procedures restore the natural function and aesthetics of your teeth — making it easier to speak, chew, and smile confidently
Types of Dental Restoration
Dental restorations are broadly categorized into direct and indirect methods.
1. Direct Dental Restorations
Done in a single visit, applied directly to the tooth.
Tooth-Colored Fillings
- Used to treat cavities and minor fractures
- Made from composite resin — blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.
- Quick and cost-effective.
Temporary Fillings
- Used during emergency treatments or root canal therapy.
- Replaced with permanent restoration later.
2. Indirect Dental Restorations
Fabricated in a dental lab and require at least two visits.
Dental Crowns
- A “cap” that fully covers a damaged or root canal-treated tooth.
- Materials: Porcelain, Zirconia, Metal, or PFM (Porcelain Fused to Metal).
- Improves both appearance and strength.
Dental Bridges
- Replace one or more missing teeth.
- Anchored using crowns on adjacent teeth.
- Natural-looking and functional.
Inlays and Onlays
- Used for moderately damaged teeth.
- More durable than fillings, less invasive than crowns.
- Custom-made for a precise fit.
Dental Implants
- Titanium post inserted into the jawbone to replace the root.
- Crown placed on top for a natural tooth replacement.
- Long-lasting and looks just like a real tooth.
Dentures (Complete & Partial)
- Removable options for multiple missing teeth.
- Affordable and custom-designed for your mouth.
