Types of Dental Restorations
Indirect Dental Restoration -refers to the restoration of a tooth by use of an inlay, crown or onlay. These restorations are named indirect, because they require more than one visit to complete, often with the use of a dental lab. If the dentist has use of a CAD or CEREC equipment, the procedure can be completed in one visit.
Direct Dental Restoration – refers to the restoration of a tooth immediately after performing dental work. Often used to fill a cavity, the dentist will use a dental filling to insert a malleable material into the tooth, harden the material with the use of a blue light, and then shape and polish that material to match the rest of the teeth.
