Tandrestaureringar

Tandrestaureringar, also known as dental restorations, are procedures performed to repair or replace damaged or missing parts of a tooth. These can be necessary due to decay, injury, or wear. The primary goal is to restore the tooth's function, shape, and appearance.

Common types of tandrestaureringar include fillings, which are used to fill cavities caused by decay. Fillings can be made from various materials such as composite resin, amalgam, or porcelain. For more extensive damage, crowns may be used. A crown is a cap that covers the entire visible portion of a tooth, strengthening it and improving its look. Inlays and onlays are similar to fillings but cover larger portions of the tooth's chewing surface.

Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Dentures, either partial or complete, are removable appliances that can replace multiple missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth roots to support crowns or bridges.

The choice of tandrestaurering depends on factors such as the extent of damage, the location of the tooth, the patient's aesthetic preferences, and budget. A dentist will assess the individual situation and recommend the most suitable treatment option. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are crucial to maintain the longevity of any tandrestaurering.
