Indications for dental restoration
Aesthetic restoration of teeth is performed in the following cases:
- Destruction of dentin due to carious lesions
- Chips and delamination
- Dullness or discoloration of enamel
- Natural wear of teeth due to age
- Gaps between the front teeth
- Loss of part of a molar as a result of a blow, car accident, sports injuries
- Need to replace old, worn fillings
Often, aesthetic (artistic) restoration is prescribed to restore a molar after root canal treatment. The procedure is also performed to correct the shape and size of teeth, improving the appearance of a smile.
Despite being safe and painless, artistic restoration is not performed if the following restrictions are present:
- Wearing a pacemaker
- Bruxism or other forms of tooth wear that require prior treatment
- Lack of oral hygiene
- Age under 16
- Incorrect bite
An allergic reaction to the materials used in the process is also considered a contraindication to the restoration procedure.
Types of aesthetic dental restoration
Direct method of tooth restoration
Indirect method of tooth restoration
The following elements are used to restore the original appearance of teeth:
- Veneers are thin porcelain or ceramic plates that are fixed to the front of the molar
- Lumineers are very thin ceramic overlays that are attached without preliminary grinding of the molar
- Inlays are small prostheses that cover damaged areas. They reliably seal the tooth, are resistant to heavy loads, and last a long time
The cost of the procedure depends on the size of the damage and the selected material.
“If the patient is dissatisfied with the result of the restored teeth, it is necessary to consult a doctor. Further actions depend on whether enamel grinding was carried out before restoration. Usually, enamel grinding is performed if caries or other damage is detected on the teeth. To ensure that the filling holds securely, the enamel is treated with a special gel. Complete removal of the filling and returning the tooth to its original state is impossible in this case. The doctor can leave a thin layer of the filling so that the teeth are smooth and shiny,” says the dentist of the K+31 clinic.

Before the start of aesthetic restoration of the tooth, the patient is examined by the dentist. The doctor checks the oral cavity for bleeding gums, swelling of the mucous membrane, caries.
Stages of preparing a molar for restoration include:
- Cleaning from caries and damaged tissues
- Creating a form for the future filling
- Mechanical cleaning
- Opening the enamel tubules
- Isolation from saliva with a cofferdam
- Drying
- Installing the substrate, creating a base for the filling, applying an etching gel, introducing an adhesive
Then the aesthetic restoration is performed. It consists of the following stages:
- Installing a form (matrix) for restoring classes II, III and IV according to Black
- Step-by-step addition of composite material
- Hardening of each layer
- Removing the matrix and wedge, additional illumination at the root (for classes II, III and IV)
- Surface formation
- Correction of shape and bite
- Final grinding, polishing and glazing
It is recommended to visit the dentist every six months for a preventive examination and correction of aesthetic restoration.

In case of advanced caries, temporary restoration is first done, and then permanent fillings are placed.
