Porcelain Veneers, Crowns and Bridges

The desire for beautiful teeth.

Porcelain veneers are made from an extremely thin ceramic material that can be used to improve the appearance of chipped and discoloured teeth. Unlike crowns, porcelain veneers only cover the front surface of your tooth. Porcelain veneers when bonded to tooth enamel will result in extremely strong and beautiful tooth. In many occasions 6-10 porcelain veneers on upper teeth will result in a beautiful smile makeover.

Porcelain crowns are used to restore badly damaged teeth or teeth with old unattractive fillings. A porcelain crown fits around the entire tooth and form a “cap” around the damaged existing tooth.  Porcelain crowns are colour matched to your existing teeth so once completed should look true to nature in appearance as your adjacent natural teeth. Multiple porcelain crowns are sometimes used in cases where porcelain veneers are not suitable.  The treatment, usually on upper teeth will result in a beautiful smile makeover.

Porcelain Bridges can be used to replace missing teeth. Porcelain bridges are fixed to the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth or teeth. Porcelain bridges are colour matched so once completed should look true in nature in appearance as your adjacent natural teeth.
