Posterior Restorations

What Are Posterior Restorations?

Posterior restorations refer to the procedures used to replace or restore the functionality and appearance of the molars and premolars. Whether it’s an old filling, crown, or bridge that needs attention, a range of techniques can be employed to address the issue.

Convenience of Single-Visit Restorations

Many patients love the convenience of single-visit restorations. Here at Paula S. Gould, our team utilizes in-office composite resin (tooth-colored) filling materials to replace an old posterior filling.

This procedure is typically completed in just one visit, saving you time and multiple trips to the dentist.

When Two Visits are Required

In cases where optimal results cannot be achieved in a single visit, a skilled dental laboratory technician fabricates the custom restoration. In these instances, two visits are required:

The additional time ensures you receive the most durable and aesthetically pleasing result possible.

Advantages of Posterior Restorations

Here are some of the advantages of posterior restorations:

Quick Relief. Posterior restorations often provide immediate relief from discomfort or sensitivity that may have been caused by old or damaged fillings or crowns.
Aesthetic and Functional Harmony. Not only do these restorations look natural, but they also restore the functionality of your bite, making it easier to chew food.
Durability. Modern restorative materials are long-lasting, offering a more permanent solution to posterior tooth issues.
Preventive Care. Restoring damaged or decaying posterior teeth can prevent further dental problems, including more severe decay or even tooth loss.
