Restoration and aesthetics in dentistry encompass a set of methods and techniques aimed at improving the function and appearance of a patient's teeth and mouth. This field is divided into two main branches: restorative and aesthetic. The restorative branch focuses on rebuilding the structure of teeth that have been damaged due to various reasons such as decay, fractures, or trauma. In these methods, materials such as composite resin, amalgam, and ceramics are used to restore the natural function of the teeth.

On the other hand, the aesthetic branch of dentistry focuses on improving the appearance of the smile and enhancing the alignment of the teeth. It includes methods such as teeth whitening, veneers, ceramic crowns, and minor orthodontic treatments. The goal of these procedures is to enhance aesthetic appeal, symmetry, and proportion of the smile, which can have a positive impact on an individual's self-confidence and satisfaction with their appearance.
