  Here are some of the types of dental restoration procedures done today:

  

  1. Fillings. As the name implies fillings are done to fill in holes in the teeth caused by tooth decay or cavities. Fillings are made out of a variety of materials that range from amalgam, gold and metal alloys, or porcelain.

  2. Veneers. Veneers refer to a thin shell made out of porcelain or composite resin that make teeth look better.

  3. Crowns. Crowns refer to the a type of dental restoration that covers the entire part of the tooth / teeth that are exposed. Crowns last for about five to seven years, depending on patient maintenance.

  4. Dental implants. Dental implants are considered as permanent false teeth which are usually drilled into the bone as replacement for lost teeth.
