Artistic restoration of teeth

In order for a diseased tooth to restore its functionality and serve for many more years, it is usually enough to carry out caries treatment in the process of which the doctor carefully removes the damaged dentin tissue and places a filling.

But to preserve the aesthetics of the teeth, this is not enough. The dentist’s job is to make his work as inconspicuous as possible. The treated tooth should not differ in any way from the natural tooth. With quality work, even a specialist can hardly distinguish the fillings on the teeth.

This method of dental treatment with preservation of aesthetics is called artistic photopolymer restoration. And this method is used not only in the placement of fillings, but also allows you to correct or hide the defects of the tooth.

Aesthetic artistic restoration is a real art at the intersection of medicine and sculpture. The dentist needs to give his work the functionality, form, structure, and color of natural teeth, so solving such a task requires not only the use of properly selected materials and high-class equipment, but also certain skills and experience of the treating dentist.

What artistic restorations are used for

• “Discreet” caries treatment
  When a high-quality polymer restoration is performed, the filling on the tooth is not visible to the naked eye. The tooth looks absolutely natural.
• Chipped and cracked tooth
  Artistic restorations are ideal for restoring aesthetics in small to moderate tooth defects.
• Restoring Shape and Color
  If a tooth has stains or has changed shape due to certain factors.
• Spaces between teeth
  In many cases, photopolymer tooth restoration can help with this problem as well, but the suitability of this method should be evaluated by your doctor.

Advantages of artistic restoration

• Gentle approach
  A tooth does not need to be ground down for an artistic photopolymer restoration, so it is a gentler method than crowns or onlays.
• Speed
  In most cases, it is possible to restore one or even several teeth in a single dental visit
• Cost
  The price of art restorations is usually noticeably lower than that of metal-ceramic and ceramic designs

Artistic restoration or prosthetics?

Photopolymer restorations are less durable than metal-ceramic and ceramic constructions, so only a specialist can assess the applicability of this method in case of severe damage.

The task of the doctors at City Smile is not only to provide high-quality treatment that preserves the aesthetics of the dentition, but also to take into account the prognosis for the longevity of the restorations. Therefore, we recommend that you entrust the final decision on the choice of treatment method to the professionals of our medical center.
