Dental crowns:?If your tooth is chipped, cracked, or broken, a cosmetic crown can restore its shape, size, and function. In simple terms, crowns are protective caps that get bonded to your damaged tooth to make it look and function as well as before.
Dental veneers:?Another popular tooth restoration is a dental veneer. Whether you desire your smile to be more attractive or are tired of your stained and discolored teeth, cosmetic veneers can help to hide all those tooth imperfections. Your cosmetic dentist may recommend porcelain shells or composite veneers based on your condition.
Dental fillings:?Fillings are at the top of most common tooth restorations. A decayed tooth, which is the most common dental emergency, can usually get repaired with the help of fillings. You can choose amalgam or tooth-colored fillings according to your preferences and budget, but listening to your dentist's advice is highly recommended.
Dental implants:?The most popular option you can choose to replace a missing tooth is an implant. After getting qualified by an implant dentist, titanium posts will be inserted in your jawbone in a dental surgery to replace a missing tooth's roots. There is no difference between the feel and appearance of dental implants and that of real teeth, which makes them significantly special among all tooth replacement options.

Can restorative dental procedures be used with other treatments?
The answer is yes! Here are treatments you can use in combination with restorative procedures
·??????Endodontics:?If your tooth is severely decayed that can't get saved by fillings, root canal therapy is needed. After cleaning the decay and infection during the root canal, the intended tooth will be covered by a crown on top to restore the appearance and strength of the tooth.
·??????Dentures:?You can use full or partial dentures in combination with dental implants or bridges to replace your missing teeth.
·??????Teeth whitening:?Most dentists prefer to perform professional teeth whitening before completing restorative dental treatment in highly visible areas.
