Restoration of teeth in Kyiv
Often, dental treatment (for example, in the case of caries) requires a filling. In professional terms, this is a tooth restoration: the dentist needs to not only replace the native tissue with photopolymer material, but also restore the function and natural shape of the unit. In the case of incisors and canines, it is also important to ensure impeccable aesthetics. Here, a filigree artistic restoration of teeth is required, because the dentist, like a sculptor, reproduces the original, or even surpasses it.
If you are interested in dental restoration with photopolymer in Kyiv, please contact our specialists at DENTART. Dental therapists will restore the natural beauty of both anterior and posterior dental units damaged by caries, other pathologies, or injuries in one session.

What is dental restoration?
Teeth restoration is the restoration of their shape. It can be performed in different ways in modern dentistry. In the case of artistic dental restoration, it is a restoration with photopolymer composite materials (fillings) that is carried out in one session.
Another name for the method is aesthetic dental restoration. Usually, the result of the restoration depends on the skill of the doctor, who first selects a shade and then applies photopolymer material in layers to ensure the perfect shape and flawless appearance of the tooth unit.
Dental restoration with photopolymer can eliminate chipped teeth, compensate for tissue loss due to caries, correct unwanted discoloration and even mild orthodontic defects such as enlarged interdental spaces. However, in case of severe damage or decay of teeth, orthopedic structures, including onlays, veneers, and crowns, can be the most effective method of restoration.
Advantages of artistic dental restoration
-
High reliability
Dentists of DENTART clinic in Kyiv use the best photopolymer materials that have an extended service life.
-
Perfect aesthetics
Doctors select the optimal shade, recreate the perfect shape, modeling a natural and beautiful dentition.
-
Minimal tissue preparation
When restoring teeth with polymer fillings, less tissue needs to be removed than before prosthetics.
-
Speed
Aesthetic dental restoration is usually performed in one session, while veneers or other orthopedic structures require at least 2 visits to the clinic.
-
Affordable price
An important advantage of artistic dental restoration is the price. It is lower than for veneers, onlays, or crowns.
Types of artistic dental restoration
The main types of restoration of dental units include:
- aesthetic restoration of the front teeth. It usually involves restoring the front walls of the dental unit after chipping, cracking, changing the shade etc.
- teeth augmentation. Most often, chewing units need it due to trauma, caries, pathological abrasion, etc. Also, this restoration option may be needed in case of severe chipping or damage to the front teeth. In this case, the original shape is first restored, and then the aesthetic stage is performed — giving an impeccable appearance.
Alternative methods of restoration include indirect restoration of teeth — with the use of orthopedic structures. In this case, digital prints are first taken, and then veneers, overlays or crowns are made in the dental laboratory.
Aesthetic restoration of the front teeth
Usually, the restoration of the front teeth is considered to be a more responsible restoration procedure, because their shape, colour and general condition directly affect the aesthetics of our smile. Here, it is necessary to perfectly match the shade of the photopolymer, to restore the shape in a filigree manner, and to ensure the correct closure of the jaws. In practice, artistic restoration of anterior teeth places increased demands on the dentist's skills. The cost of such restoration is usually higher than in the case of chewing units.
To achieve longer-term results in the restoration of front teeth, ceramic veneers are indicated, and in case of severe damage, crowns. But the best option will be determined only by the dentist after the initial examination.
Stages of dental restoration
Artistic dental restoration includes the following stages:
- Preliminary examination and assessment of the current state of the tooth.
- Primary treatment, including removal of decayed tissue.
- Installing the wedge and the matrix (if working next to an adjacent unit).
- Medicinal treatment of surfaces.
- Layer-by-layer modeling with photopolymer.
- Removal of excess composite material.
- Final grinding and polishing to remove roughness.
In general, the procedure takes from 30-40 minutes to several hours, depending on the complexity of the restoration. The price of tooth restoration also directly depends on this factor.
Indications for dental restoration
Any damage to a dental unit is a reason to contact our DENTART clinic. Even the slightest chip without restoration can lead to more disastrous consequences. Aesthetic dental restoration is indicated in the following cases:
- chips and cracks in the smile area;
- excessive tooth wear (due to age or pathologies such as bruxism);
- changes in enamel colour due to pigmentation, fluorosis, etc;
- tooth decay;
- presence of tremas and diastemas (enlarged gaps between teeth);
- minor dystopia, i.e. deviation of the dental unit in a row.
