Teeth can develop or undergo structural deficiencies which require some form of repair. The process of fixing or repairing a tooth is known as restoration. Teeth with soft enamel, fracture of the enamel, decay, or old defective fillings need to be restored in order to preserve the tooth. Modern dentistry offers many types of restorations and restorative materials. Fillings, veneers, inlays, onlays, and crowns, are all restorations that can be made of materials such as gold, porcelain, composite, or amalgam. |
