Restoration of teeth

This method means that the restoration of the defect is carried out directly in the mouth at all stages. When restoring teeth in Kyiv, light-curing materials are used. The dentist-therapist creates the necessary shape in layers. Especially important for anterior teeth.

Stages of direct dental restoration

1. Preparation means cleaning the working surface from soft plaque and tartar. Using a special scale, the doctor determines the shade of the patient’s enamel, selects the light-curing material.
2. Local anesthesia is performed as needed.
3. With the help of a bur, an old seal is drilled out, a new one is installed in its place layer by layer.
4. The tooth to be restored is isolated from moisture. This is important, as moisture underneath the composite can be both a source of carious bacteria and a cause of poor adhesion.
5. If the tooth’s crown is more than half destroyed, or the tooth is pulped, then a pin is additionally used for layer-by-layer growth.
6. When a doctor lays out the material in layers, his task is to recreate the natural density, light transmission of tissues. That is, closer to the center, the mass will be denser, and at the edges, it will be translucent.
7. In the end, the processing is carried out with burs, discs. The doctor sharpens the lines of the tooth, bringing them as close as possible to the natural ones, grinds and polishes the surface.

For direct dental restorations, the cost is largely determined by the price of the materials used. There are more budgetary and premium brands of manufacturers.

Here, part of the process is transferred to the dental laboratory. Correction is carried out using veneers, crowns, and implants. A microprosthesis that will hide a tooth defect is made based on an impression.

It is understood that the unit to be corrected will dissect - the doctor will remove the layer of his enamel, grind the tooth under the onlay.

Crowns

This recovery option is used provided the root is intact. The own crown can be destroyed by over 50%, or there is a risk that the wall of the tooth may break off during exposure.

The crown acts as a restorative prosthesis, as well as additional protection if the tooth’s enamel cannot cope with the stress. The product is made on a metal base or with a metal-free base. Metal crowns can be spray-coated with ceramic to enhance aesthetics. Porcelain, zirconium crowns are beautiful and resistant to stress.

The price of tooth restoration in Kyiv depends on the type of crown: metal-free ones are more expensive than samples on a metal basis. The cost is influenced by the choice in favor of precious metals.

Implantation

This refers to the restoration of the dentition in the case when its root has been lost or turned out to be unusable. The basis for the crown will be a titanium implant inserted into the bone structure of the jaw. The crown will be fixed already on it. Modern protocols assume that dental implant restoration can be carried out simultaneously or in two stages.

Veneers

These are onlays made of ceramics or zirconium according to the patient’s jaw impression. Veneers are used to correct aesthetic defects in anterior teeth. It is understood that the tooth will be ground under the onlay. Ultra-thin glass-ceramic plates make it possible to do without preparation, their thickness is only 0.2 mm. Veneers allow you to close the diastema, correct the enamel shade, close enamel defects, slight curvature. Dental restoration in dentistry with veneers is in demand among people who often have to communicate with clients, among public figures.

With a forward correction, the main advantage is speed. The patient receives the result in one visit. The quality of the result depends on the skills of the specialist: the dentist must have a developed aesthetic taste. You also need the skill of working with restoration materials. The disadvantage of the direct method is its volume limitation. If the crown is severely damaged, the extension will have to be abandoned.

An indirect restoration is not limited. Even a serious defect lends itself to correction. The abundance of materials, the capabilities of dental laboratories allow you to recreate a lost a tooth from scratch. The disadvantage is time. Making crowns and onlays takes patience.

Refurbishment work is based on the correct use of materials, specialist skills, and laboratory equipment. The price of dental restoration will depend on the chosen method, the material used, and the qualifications of a particular doctor.
