WHAT IS AESTHETIC DENTAL RESTORATION?

Restoration is a technique to restore and improve teeth shape, color, and function with a composite (photopolymer). The dentist applies it to the prepared tooth in layers directly in the patient’s mouth. This type of restoration is called direct composite restoration.

Depending on the desired result, occlusal characteristics, initial state of the teeth, direct and indirect restoration methods are used.

WHEN TO CONSIDER A DENTAL RESTORATION?

Suppose the tooth is damaged by cavities, erosion, abrasion, crumbling, trauma, or another significant defect. For example, it needs replacing an old restoration or modification to conform with objective aesthetic parameters. In short, restoration is required when a tooth has a defect that impairs its function, aesthetics or that can lead to decay.

Any restoration aims to restore the functionality and aesthetics of teeth, prolong vitality and service life. Therefore, we strive to use all the best-known today respective techniques. The dental microscope facilitates the complete cleaning of the tooth from the signs of decay before restoration while allowing for a more gentle preparation.

DENTAL RESTORATION METHODS

There are two basic dental restoration methods for aesthetic restoration in dental therapy: direct and indirect methods.

In the first case, it is assumed that the crown part of the tooth will be augmented with light-cured composites directly in the patient’s mouth.

In the second case, unique fixtures created according to individual casts in the laboratory are used. Indirect restoration includes restoration methods such as stumps, veneers, crowns, etc.

DIRECT DENTAL RESTORATION: WHAT IS IT?

Direct restorations can be placed during a single appointment directly into the patient’s mouth.

The technique is used mainly in the frontal incisors region and other teeth less loaded during mastication. To achieve high aesthetic results and efficiency, the doctor must have relevant experience. It is the optimal choice of methods, materials, and an adequate assessment in determining the restoring technique of the tooth’s integrity that provides the expected result.

The restoration’s success is achieved by applying a composite material, followed by the veneer plate’s fabrication, adhesive structures, and other forms. Direct restoration allows the restoration of partially lost teeth located along the smile line. Most often, photopolymers are used to restore the integrity of the tooth.

Indications for aesthetic dental restoration:

malocclusion;
diseases causing tooth decay;
congenital dental defects or their abnormal position;
whitening of yellow teeth;
damage due to dental trauma;
cracked teeth treatment.

Innovative approaches allow restoring a tooth, even if the coronal plane is destroyed by more than one-third. An essential condition in this case is preserving the dental root and the absence of pathologies of the gingival tissue in the restoration area.

Relative contraindications – bruxism, permanent wear due to malocclusion, cavities. However, the restoration can be carried out after the appropriate treatment.

HOW DOES DIRECT DENTAL RESTORATION WORK?

The procedure is carried out in one visit with high-quality light-curing materials by a specialized therapist.

The tooth restoration process includes several main stages:

preparation – hygienic cleaning of teeth, selection of polymer color, anesthesia;
preparation of an affected area or defect within healthy tissues;
isolation of the restored tooth from other teeth and saliva during manipulation using rubber dam;
placement of the most transparent fiberglass pin (if necessary);
modeling of the crown part of the tooth by layer-by-layer application of a composite material;
grinding and polishing of a new tooth.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

fast tooth restoration;

the ability to restore several units at once;

The dental restoration method has some peculiarities. For example, an extended stay in the dentist’s chair. Or the possible need to solve related problems that arise in challenging clinical situations.

TYPES OF AESTHETIC TEETH RESTORATION

HOW IS DIRECT AESTHETIC RESTORATION PERFORMED?

Direct restoration requires the use of composite materials. They are applied layer by layer, modeled, and harden on the tooth exposed to a dental curing light.

The correct approach to restoration means that for the anterior teeth, where the material’s optical properties are most important, a universal hybrid composite that is optimal in terms of color and transparency will be used.

While for the chewing teeth, a specially designed composite with high strength should be used.
Direct composite restoration is currently the most common single visit dental restoration.

Restoration of Anterior Teeth

Anterior teeth have the most impact on the aesthetics of a smile. You can perform the restoration procedure in the presence of chips, abrasion, or other deformations. The abundance of methods allows restoring a tooth with any amount of intact tissues.

Direct composite restorations of anterior teeth may require just one single visit to the dentist. First, the doctor selects the appropriate shade. Then, if the tissues are damaged, treatment is performed. Depending on the state of integrity of the tooth crown, the root is sometimes strengthened with a pin. Composite materials help correct the shape. The final step is grinding and polishing.

Further information about the restoration of the front teeth can be found here.

Posterior Composite Restoration

When building up posterior teeth, not only the aesthetic component is essential, but also the functional one. The quality of the composite restoration must be high for many reasons, as the teeth experience significant stress.

Composite restoration is available in the following cases:

part of the tissues is missing;
there are small chips;
there are signs of abrasion;
a gap between teeth.

Before

After

The price of the procedure depends on the materials used and the amount of intact tissue. The buildup procedure is usually painless. The patient feels comfortable when removing minor defects.

The method is chosen based on the quality and quantity of the tissue. In the case of complete root extraction, implant surgery is available. It allows returning the chewing function and prevent a change in bite. Ceramic veneers are used for a perfect smile. For restoration without loss of healthy tissue, composite reconstruction is possible.

It would be best if you were careful or even cancel the visit in case of the following contraindications:

pathological grinding, bruxism;
pregnancy;
a patient with a pacemaker;
inflammatory processes.

After the procedure, the following recommendations should be followed:

Avoid eating for three hours after the procedure.
Limit the use of hot and cold food.
It is worth giving up solid food to maintain integrity: cracking candies and crackers.
Do not drink tea, coffee and other food that can stain the enamel and composite material.
To maintain an optimal level of acidity, rinse your mouth after eating apples, lemons and other acidic foods.

Visiting the dentist every six months is essential for a preventive examination. In addition, professional cleaning should be performed during the appointment. Also, to preserve the original appearance of the teeth, it is necessary to repolish the restoration.

How long does a dental restoration last?

Aesthetic restoration with proper care lasts up to fifteen years. It can last that long when performing regular correction and surface polishing. The quality of personal oral care routine also affects. If the rules of oral hygiene are not followed, the composite will last only three to five years.

Aesthetic Restoration, Veneer, or Crown: Which Is Right for You?

Indirect restorations are manufactured in the laboratory and are ready to be placed. The material is modern one-piece ceramics, which is outwardly indistinguishable from the natural tooth. Simultaneously, the options vary from the smallest and thinnest – ceramic fillings, veneers, onlays, to the restorations covering several tooth surfaces – partial crowns (overlays) and full crowns.

The peculiarity of this type of restorations is exceptional accuracy, durability, no shrinkage of the material, and over time, there is no color and gloss change.

When a tooth has a small defect, it did not undergo root canal treatment, and it does not bear the main chewing load, the choice in favor of a direct composite restoration is evident.

If one or more of the conditions listed above are not met, a dental crown should be considered. The larger the restoration, the greater the material shrinkage and the more significant the forces acting on it during chewing.

Aesthetic restoration of teeth

Aesthetic restoration is suitable for correcting small to moderate defects in a tooth’s shape, length, or colour. The dentist selects the most appropriate restoration method after examining the tooth and assessing the amount of remaining tooth structure and the patient’s bite.

FAQ

Is it true that fillings on front teeth discolor over time, but veneers do not?

Yes, composite materials lose particles over time, and pigments get into empty micro-spaces.

What are the methods for composite veneer manufacturing?

Composite veneers are made directly in the office by the dentist.
A simpler method is for the doctor to apply composite material layer by layer directly to the tooth, after which it is polished.
We also use the injection method of veneer fabrication.
Once the teeth’ shape has been pre-approved, a transparent mouth guard with small openings for the injection of liquid composite is made.

Can composite veneers chip or break?

If dental veneers are placed appropriately, this will not happen. In addition, it should be stressed that the breakage of dental veneers depends mainly on the patient’s eating habits. Grinding your teeth, biting your nails, and biting tough food can cause the veneers to break.

How long do composite veneers last?

Several conditions must be fulfilled to keep veneers long, such as brushing after every meal, flossing, and timely professional cleaning and polishing in the dental office.
