Most asked questions
Conservative dentistry, also known as restorative dentistry, is a branch of dental care that aims to preserve natural tooth structure. It focuses on preventing and treating dental issues with minimally invasive techniques, such as dental fillings, inlays, onlays, and preventive measures.
Dental fillings in conservative dentistry involve the removal of decayed tooth material and the restoration of the cavity with materials like tooth-colored composites. This approach preserves more of the natural tooth structure compared to traditional methods.
Inlays and onlays are conservative alternatives to traditional fillings. Onlays cover one or more cusps, whereas inlays are positioned inside a tooth’s cusps. They are custom-fitted restorations that preserve more of the natural tooth structure compared to full crowns.
Yes, dental bonding is a conservative cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of teeth. It involves applying tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, cracks, or gaps, providing a natural-looking and minimally invasive solution for aesthetic improvements.
Dental crowns are recommended in conservative dentistry when a tooth is severely damaged or weakened. Instead of extracting the tooth, a crown is custom-designed to fit over the remaining tooth structure, providing strength and protection.
