Restorations

Dental health is not only about maintaining clean and healthy teeth but also restoring the function and appearance of teeth that have been damaged by decay, injury, or wear. Dental restorations are procedures that repair or replace damaged or missing teeth, restoring their natural function and appearance. At Cosmosurge, Dr. Aishwarya A. Gangawane, an expert in dental health and cosmetic surgery, offers a wide range of dental restoration services tailored to your needs. From fillings to crowns and bridges, our personalized treatments help bring back the confidence in your smile.

What are Dental Restorations?

Dental restorations refer to various procedures used to repair or replace damaged teeth, restore their normal function, and improve the overall aesthetics of your smile. These treatments can be as simple as fillings or more complex like crowns, bridges, or implants, depending on the extent of the damage. Dental restorations not only restore the look of your teeth but also improve oral health by preventing further decay or complications.

Types of Dental Restorations

At Cosmosurge, we offer a comprehensive range of dental restoration services to meet your unique dental health needs:

Dental Fillings:
- What it is: Fillings are used to restore small cavities or areas of decay in the tooth. The decayed material is removed, and the cavity is filled with materials such as composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain.
- Procedure: The dentist numbs the area, removes the decayed portion of the tooth, cleans the cavity, and then fills it with the chosen material. The filling is shaped to match the natural contour of the tooth and polished for a smooth finish.
- Benefits: Fillings prevent further decay, restore the tooth's structure, and ensure that you can bite and chew properly.
Crowns:
- What it is: A dental crown is a cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth. Crowns restore the tooth's shape, size, and strength, and improve its appearance.
- Procedure: After preparing the tooth by removing damaged tissue and shaping it, an impression is taken to create a custom crown. Once the crown is fabricated, it is placed over the tooth and cemented in place.
- Benefits: Crowns provide durability, protect the tooth from further damage, and enhance the appearance of your smile.
Bridges:
- What it is: A bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or implants.
- Procedure: The teeth on either side of the gap are prepared for crowns, and an impression is taken. The custom-made bridge is fitted and cemented into place.
- Benefits: Bridges fill the gaps left by missing teeth, prevent shifting of surrounding teeth, restore chewing and speaking function, and improve the appearance of your smile.
Inlays and Onlays:
- What it is: Inlays and onlays are partial restorations that repair a tooth with more damage than a simple filling but less than what would require a crown. Inlays fit inside the cusp of the tooth, while onlays extend over one or more cusps.
- Procedure: After removing the damaged area, an impression is taken, and the inlay or onlay is custom-made to fit the tooth. It is then bonded to the tooth for a seamless finish.
- Benefits: Inlays and onlays provide a strong, durable restoration while preserving more of the natural tooth structure than a crown.
Dental Implants:
- What it is: Implants are used to replace missing teeth permanently. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which acts as the root for a crown or bridge.
- Procedure: After the implant is placed, it integrates with the bone (osseointegration), and once healed, a custom crown or bridge is attached to restore function and aesthetics.
- Benefits: Implants provide a long-lasting solution, look and feel like natural teeth, and prevent bone loss that occurs after tooth loss.

Benefits of Dental Restorations

Restores Functionality: Dental restorations restore the ability to chew and speak properly by repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth.
Enhances Aesthetics: With modern dental restoration techniques and materials, restorations can closely match the color and shape of natural teeth, improving the appearance of your smile.
Prevents Further Damage: Restorations seal the tooth from bacteria, preventing further decay or damage that could lead to more serious dental problems, including tooth loss.
Improves Oral Health: By addressing dental issues early, restorations help maintain overall oral health, prevent misalignment, and avoid the need for more invasive treatments in the future.
