Dental restoration is a dental procedure used to repair or replace damaged, decayed, broken, or missing teeth in order to restore normal function, appearance, and oral health. Restorative dental treatments help improve chewing, speaking, and smile aesthetics while preserving the natural structure of the teeth whenever possible.
Dental restoration procedures may involve fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, or bonding, depending on the severity of tooth damage or tooth loss. These treatments are commonly performed by general dentists or restorative dental specialists.
Dental restoration not only improves appearance but also helps prevent further dental complications such as infection, tooth loss, bite problems, and gum disease.

1. Dental Fillings
Used to repair cavities caused by tooth decay. The decayed part of the tooth is removed and filled with materials such as composite resin, amalgam, or ceramic.
2. Dental Crowns
Caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore strength, shape, and appearance. Crowns are commonly used after root canal treatment or severe tooth damage.
3. Dental Bridges
Artificial teeth supported by adjacent teeth or implants to replace one or more missing teeth.

Titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots and support artificial teeth.
5. Dentures
