Restorative measures are an important part of tooth preservation. The aim of tooth restoration is to preserve the patient’s own tooth with its natural root. When the tooth is restored, the defective areas are repaired. Thus, the original function of the tooth can be restored. Which also leads to a better quality of life again.
If a tooth is defective, it should be repaired as soon as possible. Conservative measures preserve the function and shape of the teeth. Plaque, caries and / or periodontitis can cause diseases or damage to the tooth substance.
Dental Restoration is always necessary when defects in the crown of the tooth need to be repaired. This is the only way to prevent the progression of tooth damage and to reconstruct the function of the tooth.
When it comes to restorative tooth preservation, there are many options in modern dentistry to restore the defects in the dental crown area to form and function. Our focus is always minimally invasive dental treatment to leave the healthy tooth substance in place. This way, the healthy tooth substance can continue to be used to stabilise the tooth.
Advanced dental technology has developed materials that offer high-quality aesthetics, stability and durability. The high-quality filling materials enable minimally invasive therapy. This means that defects in the tooth substance can be removed without damaging the tooth.
Specially developed adhesives are applied to the tooth substance for this purpose. This allows the filling material to adhere to the tooth surface without the need for time-consuming grinding of the cavity into shape.
High-quality fillings have a lifespan of many years with good oral hygiene. In contrast to simple cement or plastic fillings, this has the advantage that tooth substance is also preserved. Another advantage is that these fillings can be loaded immediately.
Pin abutments become necessary when the tooth defects have progressed so far that the natural tooth crown is largely or completely missing. With the help of posts, a durable connection between the root and the tooth crown can be constructed.
If a tooth is vital and still has enough tooth structure, parapulpal posts can also be used. These posts are then anchored around the pulp cavity to stabilise a filling.
Root posts are posts that are anchored directly into the root. Such posts are used for root-treated teeth.
The root posts are made of different materials, such as titanium, zirconium, glass fibre… The appropriate pre-drill provides the optimal space so that the post gets a good hold in the tooth root. With a special bonding agent, the root post is then firmly inserted.
High-quality root posts have a good bending elasticity, which corresponds to the natural tooth. In this way, the naturally occurring forces and tensions of the tooth crown and root can be balanced out.
An abutment is placed on the post and then a dental crown is made in the dental laboratory to completely restore the function and shape of the tooth. This restorative measure is also considered a minimally invasive treatment method, as the only alternative would be tooth removal.
Inlays are an alternative to fillings. Where fillings can no longer hold up due to the size of the defect, inlays are the alternative. Inlays have the advantage of higher pressure stability in case of strong chewing loads in the posterior region.
However, if tooth defects are so large that a filling or even an inlay is no longer sufficient, the tooth is restored with a partial crown or crown. In this way, the function and shape of the tooth can be restored to ensure stable and strong chewing or biting in the long term.
The aim is to reconstruct the function of the chewing plane and the bite position of the natural dentition. Aesthetics are also taken into account in order to make the denture look naturally beautiful and unobtrusive for the individual patient. This is especially important in the anterior region.
Larger tooth defects can be restored with inlays and crowns as long as there is enough healthy tooth substance. The restoration of missing teeth is achieved by making and fitting dentures.
The aim of a dental prosthesis is to restore the aesthetics and function of the natural dentition. Each dental prosthesis is a custom-made dental prosthesis made only for the respective patient.
With state-of-the-art dental technology and current dental knowledge, we enable our patients to receive high-quality treatment and care in our Dental Clinic to keep their teeth healthy into old age.
The less natural tooth substance is lost, the longer you can enjoy your own teeth.
Repair defects, restore the original function of the tooth for powerful biting.
A naturally beautiful smile makes you happy. Beautiful teeth are the business card of the face.
