Medigy: Dental Restoration Repair

Dental restoration repair refers to the process of repairing or replacing damaged or missing teeth. This is typically done by a dentist or dental specialist, and may involve a variety of techniques and materials, depending on the type of restoration and the extent of the damage.

Some common types of dental restoration repair include:

Fillings: used to repair cavities or small areas of tooth decay. They can be made of materials such as amalgam (silver), composite (tooth-colored), or glass ionomer (a special type of cement).

Crowns: used to repair or replace a tooth that is broken, decayed, or worn down. They are made to look like a natural tooth and are usually made of materials such as porcelain, gold, or a combination of both.

Bridges: used to replace missing teeth. They are made of two crowns and one or more false teeth in between, and are anchored to natural teeth or dental implants.

Implants: used to replace missing teeth. They are small titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone and act as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth.

Dental restoration repair may also involve more complex procedures such as full or partial dentures, endodontics (root canal treatment) or orthodontics (braces treatment) depending on the patient’s needs.

It’s important to note that dental restoration repair is not a one-time procedure, regular checkups and maintenance are required to ensure the longevity of the restoration and to prevent further dental issues.
