Restorative dentistry 

 

Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring diseased or damaged teeth and restructuring poorly shaped teeth.

This ranges from sealing tooth fissures to placing dental crowns. A distinction is made between direct restorations (done in the mouth) and indirect restorations (prepared in a dental laboratory).

While in earlier times, the only materials available for dental restoration were silver amalgam, metal alloys and simple composite resins, the era of adhesive technology with ceramics and high-tech composite materials has opened up a wide range of novel possibilities.

Modern restorative dentistry makes it possible to achieve lasting results that are functionally and esthetically outstanding while preserving the teeth as much as possible.

However, the manual techniques required are extremely elaborate and time-consuming. Even just minor oversights and errors in workmanship can reduce the longevity of the restoration.

Restorative dentistry is one of our practice’s specialisms. Our experience with all-ceramic restorations dates all the way back to the start of the 1990s.

Our treatments rely on the very latest methods which are as conservative as possible, and we only use the highest quality materials.

And we take a lot of time for you: we plan all measures with the greatest care and carry them out with the best quality workmanship.

We take our quality standards so seriously that we give all of our dental restoration patients who attend regular prophylactic care a 20-year guarantee on their dental restorations.

Some examples of restorative dental work carried out by our practice

Example 1:

Initial condition:

Two inadequately sealed posterior teeth with caries formation

 

Both teeth after new restorative treatment


Example 2:

Initial condition:

Two posterior teeth with seals that significantly impair the tooth shape due to excess material

 

Both teeth fitted with new seals that restore the correct tooth shape


Example 3:

Initial condition:

Two posterior teeth with very poor composite fillings and caries formation

 

Both teeth fitted with high-quality composite restorations


Example 4:

Initial condition:

Conventional composite restorations of three posterior teeth, three years after restoration

 

Condition seven years after fitting of high-quality composite restorations


Example 5:

Initial condition:

Metal-ceramic crowns on lower incisors...

 

...and the same teeth after fitting of full-ceramic crowns and restoration of natural tooth shapes in an orthopedic stable, physiologically correct jaw relation


Example 6:

Upper jaw before...

...and after full reconstruction of the masticatory system, with restoration of natural tooth shapes in an orthopedic stable, physiologically correct jaw relation

The same person’s lower jaw before...

...and after full reconstruction of the masticatory system, with restoration of natural tooth shapes in an orthopedic stable, physiologically correct jaw relation
