Restoration of the missing tooth can be performed using a method such as implantation. There is no need for an implant:
- Sharpen the adjacent teeth.
- Treat the supporting teeth and check them regularly due to a significant load.
- Make bridges of bone tissue.
Implantation of teeth allows you to quickly and safely restore missing teeth, without damaging neighboring ones and not causing damage. On top of the implant, the dentist puts on the dental crown, which completes the process of restoring the missing tooth. Thanks to the crown, the implant is securely protected and the tooth will not spoil.
Complete restoration of teeth
Full restoration of teeth in the concept of many people is a complex procedure that takes a lot of time and requires a lot of money resources. A couple of years ago, everything was as it was, but to date, a full restoration of the teeth is available to all and takes a little time. Modern technologies have made the recovery process almost painless, safe and with a long service life.
With a complete loss of teeth, the dentist makes a prosthetic patient. The future prosthesis is created with the help of computer technology and a mold of the patient's teeth. Prostheses are made of high-quality materials that do not externally differ from natural teeth.

Restoring a broken tooth
Many people are afraid of going to the dentist, but what if the piece of the tooth is broken off and this significantly spoils the smile and creates discomfort during the conversation? In this case, you need to contact the dentist and repair the broken tooth. There are several recovery methods that differ in their effectiveness of used materials, durability and of course cost.
The restoration of a broken tooth can be performed with the help of composite materials. Also used for restoration are crowns, dental inserts, implants and prostheses. This number of methods and technologies allows you to choose the most appropriate recovery option. If you are faced with this type of problem, do not wait, but contact the dentist. The sooner the tooth is restored, the less likely that an infection will enter it, which will cause various diseases and inflammations.
Restoring the stump of a tooth
Restoration of the stump of the tooth can be done in several ways. The most common method is restoration using pins. Pins allow not only to completely restore the removed and destroyed teeth, but also help to change the position of the teeth. This is especially true for patients with abnormalities of growth and development of teeth.
Pins are selected individually, that is, there are no universal pins. This method of recovery is safe and durable. As a rule, after the procedure for restoring the stump of the tooth, the patient does not experience complications, and the rehabilitation process does not take longer than one week.
Restoration of the removed tooth
Restoration of the removed tooth is a complicated dental procedure, which consists of several stages. Before the restoration, the dentist examines the patient's teeth. If there are any problems that can impede recovery, the dentist decides. That is, it is sealed and heals neighboring teeth, prescribes a course of treatment for the gums and other.
There are several ways to restore a deleted tooth. Each of the methods involves the use of special technology and materials. Completely removed tooth can be restored with a prosthesis, that is, a dental implant. Also for the regeneration of the teeth are used pins and dental crowns. Before the procedure begins, the dentist introduces the patient to the peculiarities of each type of recovery.
Restoring a chipped tooth
During a trauma or mechanical damage, deformation and chipping of the teeth may occur. In this case, you need to apply for dental care and carry out the restoration of the chipped tooth. To restore the tooth used a variety of materials that allow you to fully recover the lost part of the tooth.
As a rule, during the regeneration of the chipped part, filling materials are used. These materials include compomers and composite materials. They are used to restore tooth enamel, which was damaged due to cleavage or caries. To restore complex chips, a material is used that consists of quartz or silica particles. These materials make it possible to completely restore the anatomical shape of the tooth, to recreate the color and even individual features.
