Dental Restoration

The procedures included in dental restoration treatments are broken down into Indirect, Direct, or Dental Implant Restoration.

Indirect Dental Restoration – refers to the restoration of a tooth by use of an inlay, crown, or onlay. These restorations are named indirect because they often require the use of a dental lab to complete and can sometimes require more than one visit. However, if the dentist has use of CAD or CEREC equipment, the procedure can be completed in one visit.

Direct Dental Restoration – refers to the restoration of teeth immediately after performing a dental procedure. For example, when filling a cavity, the dentist may use a dental filling to insert a malleable material into the tooth, harden the material with the use of blue light, and then shape and polish that material to match the rest of the teeth. This is easily completed in one visit.

Dental Implant Restoration – refers to restoration of a previously completed dental implant. In this case, dentists can restore the crown or prosthesis if there is damage. Since dental implants are so crucial to a patient’s wellness, restoring damaged dental implants must be completed in a timely fashion.
