Dental disease or traumatic injury can definitely ruin a smile. It does not need to be permanent. Advancement in dental treatments can restore a patient’s dental appearance. By having more choices, we can perform dental restoration to repair worn, decayed damaged or missing teeth to restore your healthy and beautiful smile.

Direct Restoration

Direct composite restorations exhibit many advantages compared with “traditional” dental amalgam fillings;    for example, superior aesthetics and conservation of the remaining tooth structure. Direct restorations are repairs made inside of the mouth (fillings), while indirect restorations are fashioned outside of the mouth    and then affixed to either the tooth or the supporting tooth structure in a separate procedure.

A composite filling  restores the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structure resulting from caries or external trauma as well as to the replacement of such structure supported by other dental treatment    options

Indirect Restoration​

We advise an indirect tooth restoration when a larger volume or extensive area of the tooth needs to be replaced. It mainly involves customized tooth replacements such as crowns, onlays, or inlays.
We suggest a crown to cover the entire chewing surface of a tooth. We will require more than one visit with us since an indirect tooth restoration because the inlay or onlay must be fabricated in a dental laboratory. An inlay is placed within the cusps of the tooth. Meanwhile, an onlay covers one or more cusp tip. Both includes portion of the chewing surface.

Crowns, inlays and onlays are made from an array of materials. Basically, gold is still used for some inlays. Others prefer or are more concerned having white teeth. As such, we offer porcelain and tooth-colored composite resins as options.
