The different ways your dentist can replace or restore your lost teeth, missing tooth structure, or structures that must be removed to stop decay that could cause you discomfort in the future are known as restorations. 

Any dental operation that restores or replaces a tooth is referred to as restorative dentistry. Cavity fillings, root canals, and even dental implants are examples of restorative therapies. Restorative dentistry can have two objectives: restoring the teeth’s function and restoring their look. A dental restoration can be necessary if any of your teeth are missing, decaying, weak, or cracked. Dentures, crowns, implants, bridges, and fillings are a few examples of dental restorations. If you are experiencing any dental issues, visit your dentist.

A metal filling should typically last for 15 years before needing to be changed, though this can vary depending on a number of factors, such as whether or not you clench or grind your teeth. In order to create tooth-colored fillings, tiny glass and plastic particles are mixed together.
