Artistic restoration

Artistic restoration is a method in aesthetic dentistry aimed at restoring the shape, integrity, and appearance of a tooth using composite materials (photopolymers). Photopolymers are applied to defects, cracks, and chips, restoring partially damaged teeth. This method can be an alternative to veneers.

Indications for artistic restoration:

• cracks in enamel
• chipping of the cutting edge of the tooth
• tooth wear
• discoloration
• damaged coronal part of the tooth
• shape defect

Important! The service life of the restoration averages from 3 to 5 years with regular polishing, which should be taken into account when choosing this treatment method.

Several restoration options are used in foreign clinics: the casting method in molds and the layered application of composite materials. The first method is based on creating an external prosthesis in the shape of the tooth, which is then applied to it, while the second method involves the careful layered application of composite material, which hardens under UV light and forms the desired shape. The latest materials with bisphenol resins and silicon dioxide reinforcement provide strong and durable results, while glass-polymer-based composites help prevent caries due to their ability to release fluoride.
