What is dental restoration? When the tooth crown is badly broken due to excessive decay or unsuccessful filling, your dentist uses a method called build-up to restore the tooth. In fact, tooth restoration is the best solution to restore the structure and normal function of a tooth that has been severely damaged, and the denervation must be strongly strengthened according to the tooth structure. According to the dentist, one of two materials, amalgam and composite, is used to restore the tooth. is in the front, it is better to use composite because it is visible and the composite is more in harmony with natural teeth in terms of color. The lifespan of tooth restoration depends on the condition of the tooth, the way it is cared for and the materials used.
