Restorative Dentistry involves procedures where a general dentist tends to keep your teeth and mouth healthy and in a good condition. Restorative Dentistry includes a few procedures, for example, dental fillings, dental implants, dentures, and crowns. Restorative Dentistry can solve the following issues:

• Patients affected by developmental disorders such as hypodontia, cleft lip and palate, aggressive periodontitis, and amelogenesis imperfecta
• Patients who have undergone radiotherapy and ablative surgery for the management of oral cancer
• Patients who have had traumatic injuries to the face, mouth, and teeth
• Patients who have sustained damage caused by periodontal (gum) disease, tooth decay, tooth attrition, and acid erosion
• Patients with severe medical and surgical problems to ensure the best treatment outcome

What are the treatment options for Restorative Dentistry?

There are a few options for the treatment of Restorative Dentistry that includes:

• Fillings: the most common way to treat a cavity is to remove it and fill the tooth with different materials like gold, silver porcelain, tooth-coloured plastic, or composite resin.
• Crowns: A crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a tooth. It is used to strengthen and protect your tooth structure. Your dentist prepares the tooth, takes an impression and the crown is made in a lab
  by a specialist.
  
• Dental Plants: they are used to replace the missing teeth.
  
• Bridges: A dental bridge “bridges” the gap where there are missing teeth. A bridge has a crown on each end as an anchor with an artificial tooth or teeth connecting the crowns and filling the space. A bridge can keep your other teeth from moving out of place. Once a bridge is placed, it works just like your natural teeth.

Aesthetic Dentistry is a rare combination of science and art in dental treatment. It focuses on providing the best treatment by creating the best outcomes from an aesthetic, biological, and functional perspective. Aesthetic Dentistry is performed due to the following reasons:

• Dental asymmetry
• A gap between the front teeth
• Tooth discoloration
• Cavities in the area nearest the gum
• Chips in the teeth.

What are the treatment options for Aesthetic Dentistry?

• Straighten, lighten, reshape, and repair teeth, the procedure involves the straightening, lightening, reshaping, and repairing of crooked or unattractive teeth.
• Implants and tooth whitening, the procedure involves dental implants- replacing of the missing tooth or teeth along with the whitening of discolored teeth by removing the plaque or tartar.
• Dental veneers, Dental Veneers look exceptionally realistic and can resolve numerous cosmetic problems, ranging from crooked teeth to cracked or damaged enamel to noticeable gaps between two teeth. The dentist applies the veneer to the front of each tooth using a dental adhesive.
• Cosmetic improvements without adding or removing anything
• Bite reclamation, the treatment involves the restoration of the enamel in teeth hence, protecting them from decay.
• Gum Lifts, this procedure involves the carving and raising of the gum line, reshaping of the tissue, or underlying bones to create the appearance of teeth aesthetically beautiful and pleasant.

What are the uses of Strip Crowns, Zirconia Crowns, and Anterior?

Crowns are an ideal way to rebuild teeth that have been broken or have been weakened by decay or a very large filling. The crown fits right over the remaining part of the tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and contour of a natural tooth. However, there are three types of crowns usually used in restorative and aesthetic dentistry procedures.

Strip Crowns, Zirconia Crowns, and Anterior are usually used in the procedures of Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry. These procedures play a huge role in beautifying the oral health of a patient. Easy handling, flowability, and dual-cure properties prove the durability of these procedures, a fast and economical solution for children and cost-conscious adults. However, the following are the uses of Strip Crowns, Zirconia Crowns, and Anterior:

Strip Crowns:
A strip crown simplifies the complex work of paediatric anterior restorations. They are trimmed and filled with restorative materials, they strip off easily, making the surface of the teeth smooth. Following are the procedures and uses involved in a strip crown replacement:

• Helps in removing decay
• A strip crown equals to the size of your tooth will be placed on the injured, decayed, or damaged tooth
• Beautification of the teeth, involving changes in the color, reshaping, and texture of the teeth
• Filling up the crown with a restorative filling
• Setting up the crown in the right place by curing the material on facial and lingual sides and removing the semi-set excess.
• Finally, trimming and finishing the replacement of the crown.

Zirconia Crowns:
Zirconia Crowns are made up of zirconium dioxide, a very durable type of metal. Zirconia Crowns combine metal’s strength with the aesthetic, tooth-like appeal of porcelain. And zirconia crowns are continually being developed to further improve their performance.

• Zirconia Crowns strengthen the back teeth in your mouth. Crowns made with zirconia are believed to be more durable and stronger, therefore, offering more support to the back teeth.
• Zirconia based crowns will have a longer span than normal crowns as they are made up of metal and crowns made of zirconia, called monolithic zirconia crowns, are especially durable.
• Zirconia is the choice of many dentists for its biocompatibility, which means it’s less likely to provoke the body into producing a reaction or immunological response like inflammation.
  
  Anterior: Anterior crowns are made of porcelain or porcelain fused to a metal core. These crowns are natural-looking as they are placed on the front teeth. Following are the procedures and uses of Anterior Crowns replacement:
• To protect large fillings/cavities
• To protect deep fillings/cavities
• To protect the cracks in teeth
• To protect large chips in a front tooth
• To fix a tooth that has undergone a root canal
