What is dental restoration?
Dental restorations are the various methods your dentist uses to replace or restore crooked, worn, damaged, discolored or unhealthy teeth.
Why do you need dental restoration?
Dental restoration can restore the function and look of your teeth, in addition to preventing damage from decay to your teeth.
What can you expect when undergoing dental restoration?
During Dental Restoration
There are various types of dental restoration:
- Fillings – these are the most common type of dental restoration. Your dentist will fill a cavity in your teeth with either gold, silver amalgam, or tooth-colored plastic and glass materials known as composite resin fillings.
- Crowns – these are tooth-shaped “caps” that are placed over a tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, appearance, to hold a fixed partial denture (bridge) in place, or to cover a dental implant.
- Dental Implants – these are small, anchoring posts made of metal that are placed into the bone socket where teeth are missing. The dental implant is then covered with a crown.
- Bridges (fixed partial dentures) – these are false teeth that “bridge” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Bridges can be anchored on either side by crowns and cemented permanently into place. They are made from porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination.
- Dentures – these are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissue and are made of acrylic resin sometimes combined with metal. They are used when your teeth are gone because of gum disease, tooth decay, or an injury. Complete dentures replace all the teeth. Partial dentures are considered when some natural teeth remain, and are retained by metal clasps attached to the natural teeth.
After Dental Restoration
After dental restoration, your teeth might feel sensitive. Your dentist might recommend that you eat soft or cold foods for 24 hours.
Why choose Novena Surgery for dental restoration?
Doctors who choose to perform dental restoration at Novena Surgery will perform the procedure in one of four modular operating theaters with cable-less pendant systems, allowing doctors to operate free of stray wiring obstruction.
Post-procedure, patients can choose to recover in one of Novena Surgery’s comfortable private suites, or in our 12-bed recovery unit under the care of well-trained nursing staff.
Waiting times are also shortened as patients need only turn up half-an-hour before their surgery, and be checked into the ward within 10 minutes of arrival.
Patients’ companions have the option of patronising Velocity, Square and Square 2 shopping malls that are seamlessly integrated with Novena Medical Centre, the building housing Novena Surgery.
