Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers offer a permanent solution to minor aesthetic discrepancies, such as spaces or gaps in the front teeth. Porcelain veneers are fabricated by preparing the tooth to allow a thin shell of porcelain to be bonded to the front of your tooth. These dental veneers are a natural-looking way to enhance your smile.

Porcelain Crowns

Porcelain Crowns are used in many situations, from adding support to a heavily restored tooth to the use of many dental crowns to help rebuild worn down occlusion. After the tooth is prepared and the shade is custom matched to the other teeth in your mouth, a porcelain "tooth cap" or dental crown is fabricated to cover your tooth. A porcelain crown is designed to match the natural color and look of your other teeth.

Porcelain Onlay

This is a stronger, higher standard alternative to a large composite or silver filling. The porcelain onlay is prepared similar to a crown, then bonded directly to the tooth.

Cosmetic Bonding

Bonding is a composite resin filling placed in the back teeth as well as the front teeth. Composites are the solution for restoring decayed teeth, making cosmetic improvements and even changing the color of your teeth or the reshaping of teeth. Bonding will lighten any stains you may have, close up minor gaps and can be used to correct crooked teeth. Basically, bonding will cover any natural flaws applying a thin coating of a plastic material on the front surface of your teeth. After this, your cosmetic dentist will apply a bonding material and sculpt, color and shape it to provide a pleasing result. A high-intensity light then hardens the plastic, and the surface is finely polished.

How long does tooth bonding last?

While the traditional silver fillings last about seven years, these composites should last about seven to eleven years.

Tooth-Colored Fillings

The commonly used restorative materials for small restorations are amalgam and composite. There are advantages and disadvantages to each which will be explained to each individual patient so they can make an informed decision.

Both porcelain and composite resin are bonded directly to the tooth, restoring it to near its original strength and function. Both can be custom-colored to precisely match your teeth, so when porcelain or resin fillings are placed, they're extremely natural looking. This can really make a difference in your appearance, especially if the restoration is visible when you smile.

So if you're looking for an attractive and effective option for restoring one or more decayed teeth, be sure to ask us about the latest choices in white restorative materials.
