Operative dentistry

Operative dentistry is a branch of dental care focused on diagnosing and treating issues related to the structure of teeth, primarily cavities and damaged areas. It involves removing decay or faulty material and restoring the tooth's shape, strength, and function using various filling materials like composite resin or amalgam. The goal is to preserve as much natural tooth as possible while ensuring durability, aesthetics, and overall oral health. Operative dentistry combines careful technique with an understanding of dental materials to repair teeth effectively and prevent future problems.
