Pro and Cons of Dental Restorations
Types of dental restorations in restore teeth:
Dental Guide to Cavities and Old Fillings
When a tooth has cavities, the decay is removed from the
tooth and the tooth is prepared to accept filling material.
Amalgam
fillings, composite resin fillings or inlays/onlays
are options that can be chosen in filling the removed cavity
area.
Solutions
to Cavities |
Pros |
Cons |
| Amalgam
Fillings |
-
Longest clinical track record
-
Familiar technology
-
Inexpensive with no additional
laboratory fees
-
Quick procedure done within one
visit
-
Generally does not cause sensitivity
|
- May contain mercury
- Rare allergic reaction to metal alloys may occur
- Color does not match teeth
- Fillings are not cemented in
- Some healthy tooth structure is removed
- Material has high rate of expansion and contraction
- Possibility for decay under and around an amalgam
filling as filling is not sealed
|
| Composite
Fillings |
- Tooth-colored material matches teeth and looks natural
- Good clinical track record
- Reinforces tooth: can regain up to 95% of original
tooth strength
- Quick procedure done in one visit
- Sealed to tooth, prevents additional decay
|
- Additional costs relative to amalgam filllings
- Condition of mouth may determine success of procedure
|
| Inlays
and Onlays |
- Strengthens and supports tooth
- most exact replication of tooth form as custom-built
to match existing tooth structure
- Natural looking as custom-matched to tooth color
and form
- Good track record
- Produced in a laboratory for more consistency
- Less tooth structure is removed compared to crowns
|
- Requires additional appointments
- Additional laboratory costs and other costs relative
to amalgam and composite fillings
|
Dental Guide to Tooth that requires dental crowns
Dental Crowns
can support and protect a tooth that already has substantial
fillings or cover a discolored or misshapen tooth such as
chipped tooth, irregularities in teeth. The cosmetic dentist or restorative dentist prepares
the tooth, makes an impression and sends it to the laboratory.
The dental crown is created and upon delivery, the permanent crown
is fitted onto the tooth.
There are different types of dental crown materials such as a full
metal dental crown, a porcelain fused to standard/base alloy crown,
a porcelain fused to semi-precious alloy crown, a porcelain
fused to precious alloy crown or an all-ceramic crown.
Solutions
to Crowns |
Pros |
Cons |
| Full-cast
metal crown (Gold) |
- Longest clinical track record
- Strong, durable material
- Good wear performance
|
- Does not match teeth
- If fit is incorrect, the crown must be re-cast from
beginning
|
| Procelain
fused to precious alloy crown |
- Good track record
- Color matches existing teeth
- Strong, durable material
|
- Can cause sensitivity in some patients
- Metal core prevents translucency, so not completely
natural-looking
- Thermoconductivity transfers heat and cold to tooth
underneath
- Rare allergic reaction to metal alloys may occur
|
| All-ceramic
crown |
- Good track record
- Most exact replication of tooth color as custom-built
to match existing tooth structure
- Natural looking as custom made to tooth color and
transluency
- Strong, durable material
|
- Higher costs with laboratory fee
|
Missing Tooth
When a tooth is missing, there are several options that can
be considered assuming that there is surrounding healthy tooth
structure to support the solution.
A bridge
is composed of units of crowns attached to surrounding teeth
filling up the missing tooth/teeth. An implant
is where a metal post is inserted below the gum where it attaches
to the bone in the jaw. Replacement tooth is then placed on
the post. Removable
partial denture acts as one or more replacement teeth
attached to a gum-colored base.
Solutions
to Missing Tooth |
Pros |
Cons |
| Bridge |
- Longest clinical track record
- Strong, durable material
- Good wear performance
|
- Requires removal of adjacent tooth structure to
secure bridge in place
- If fit is incorrect, the crown must be re-cast from
beginning
|
| Implant |
- Permanent and almost like real tooth
- Reduces chances of bone loss
- Can be flossed and maintained same as real tooth
- No removal of adjacent tooth structure required
to secure bridge in place
|
- Requires surgery
- Additional costs
- Healing time required
|
| Removable
Partial Denture |
|
- Not permanent or fixed
- Looks artificial
- Weaker than other options
- May require adjustments
- Requires special care and cleaning
- Removable thus vulnerable to loss or damage
