Restorative dentistry is used to reconstruct the lost part of a tooth that might be caused by several factors, such as tooth decay or fracture. Depending on the amount of tooth substance loss, the tooth restoration can be operated using composite fillings or ceramic inlays, or crowns.
When the loss of dental structure is limited, composite filling allows copying of the teeth color to give a perfectly natural appearance after the procedure, unlike the silver amalgam filling. The composite filling is sculpted, adjusted, then polished during a single session.
