Restorative Dental Services at Daant Guru
01
Dental Implants
Permanent tooth replacements using titanium posts placed in the jawbone, which serve as a base for crowns or dentures. Implants look and function like natural teeth, offering durability and longevity.
02
Dentures
Custom-made removable prosthetics designed to replace multiple missing teeth. Dentures improve chewing, speaking, and overall facial aesthetics for patients with significant tooth loss.
03
Dental Crowns
Protect damaged or weakened teeth by covering them with a custom-made cap. Crowns restore the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance while preventing future damage.
04
Veneers
Thin, custom-made porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to cover discoloration, chips, or minor misalignments. Veneers enhance the appearance of teeth for a more confident smile.
05
Fillings
Address cavities or minor tooth damage by using composite resin or amalgam to restore tooth integrity and prevent further decay. Fillings are designed to match the natural tooth for seamless functionality and aesthetics.
06
Bridges
Replace one or more missing teeth with a fixed solution that bridges the gap using adjacent teeth or implants as anchors. Bridges help restore chewing function and maintain facial structure.
07
Bonding
A minimally invasive procedure that uses tooth-colored resin to repair minor chips, cracks, or gaps in teeth, restoring their appearance and function.
09
Inlays and Onlays:
Used for treating larger cavities that are too extensive for fillings but don’t require full crowns. These custom restorations fit precisely, strengthening the tooth while preserving its natural structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is restorative dentistry?
Restorative dentistry involves diagnosing, managing, and rehabilitating diseases of the teeth and their supporting structures. It aims to restore the function, integrity, and aesthetics of the oral cavity, encompassing procedures like fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures.
How do I know if I need restorative dental treatment?
Indicators for restorative dental treatment include:
– Tooth pain or sensitivity.
– Visible decay or damage.
– Missing teeth.
– Difficulty chewing or speaking.
– Worn or cracked teeth.
A comprehensive dental examination can determine the appropriate restorative procedures needed.
What are dental fillings, and what materials are used?
Dental fillings are used to restore the function and integrity of teeth affected by decay or minor damage. The decayed portion is removed, and the cavity is filled with materials such as:
1. Composite Resin: Tooth-colored material offering aesthetic appeal.
2. Amalgam: A durable mixture of metals, including silver, mercury, and tin.
3. Gold: Highly durable but less commonly used due to cost and appearance.
4. Porcelain: Brittle material that can be used for inlays and onlays.
The choice of material depends on factors like cavity size, tooth location, and patient preference.
How do dental crowns differ from fillings, and when are they necessary?
Dental crowns, or caps, cover the entire visible portion of a tooth, restoring its shape, size, and strength. They are typically used when a tooth is extensively decayed, cracked, or weakened, and a filling would not provide sufficient support. Crowns can be made from materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination of both.
What is a dental bridge, and how does it replace missing teeth?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to adjacent natural teeth or implants (abutments). Bridges help restore chewing function, maintain facial structure, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
How do dentures function, and what are the differences between full and partial dentures?
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues.
Full Dentures: Replace all teeth in an arch (upper or lower).
Partial Dentures: Replace some missing teeth, anchored to remaining natural teeth.
Modern dentures are custom-made for comfort and appearance, improving chewing, speech, and facial aesthetics.
What is root canal therapy, and when is it necessary?
Root canal therapy treats infection or inflammation within the tooth’s pulp (nerve tissue). It’s necessary when the pulp is damaged due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. The procedure involves:
1. Removing the infected pulp.
2. Cleaning and disinfecting the root canals.
3. Filling and sealing the space.
This treatment alleviates pain and preserves the natural tooth structure.
What is dental bonding, and what issues can it address?
Dental bonding involves applying a tooth-colored resin to repair minor chips, cracks, or gaps in teeth. The resin is shaped and hardened with a special light, bonding it to the tooth. Bonding is a minimally invasive procedure that enhances both the appearance and function of teeth.
What are inlays and onlays, and when are they used instead of fillings or crowns?
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used to repair teeth with moderate decay or damage that is too extensive for a filling but not severe enough to require a crown.
Inlays: Fit within the grooves of the tooth.
Onlays: Extend over one or more cusps of the tooth.
They are typically made from porcelain or composite resin, providing a durable and aesthetic solution.
