Bonding, Veneers, Crowns and Smile Design.
Bondings are, an alternative to veneers that can be used as a restorative procedure for teeth that are chipped, discolored, cracked or misarranged.
The tooth is prepared for the procedure by etching the surface lightly and applying a bonding liquid. The liquid sets and a plastic resin is applied and sculpted into the desired shape by the dentist. The resin is trimmed once it is set and smoothed and polished to a natural appearance.
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond directly to the front surfaces of the teeth. They improve your smile and are simple and versatile. Veneers are virtually undetectable and highly resistant to coffee, tea, or cigarette stains.
For strength and appearance, their resemblance to white, healthy tooth enamel is unsurpassed by other restorative options.
With proper care, porcelain veneers will last for well over a decade.
Crown and bridgework is a very reliable solution for major dental problems caused through wear and tear, accidents, and diseases. Major problems can usually be corrected using these techniques.
Material used in these repairs is either high-grade porcelain or porcelain bonded to gold. A higher strength of the porcelain and gold materials is recommended to treat the most serious of dental problems.
Crowns and bridges can be used as a long-term solution where accidental damage has occurred, resulting in lost teeth, or as the result of old fillings breaking or where teeth have broken away through excessive wear.
Dentures replace not only missing teeth, but also missing bone as well as gum tissue. For this reason, removable appliances are often necessary to provide an esthetically pleasing appearance.
Removable appliances are easier to clean and maintain and are also more adaptable. If you were to lose additional teeth, changes in appliance design can be made. Removable appliances are also generally more affordable.
