Veneers
Veneers are used to change the shape or colour of teeth, close small spaces or create a more even smile. You can think of them as a false nail for your tooth. Our laboratory will custom-make a very thin porcelain layer using the measurements we give them. We then permanently attach your veneer to your tooth, changing your smile. You will be quite involved in choosing the shape and colour of your veneers – describe what you are hoping to achieve or bring a picture. It will help us to achieve the smile you want.
Crowns
Crowns are porcelain shells which resemble natural teeth. They are used to
strengthen teeth that have been weakened by large fillings, root canal treatments, are broken from biting on something hard or damaged from an accident. Your new crown will wrap around all surfaces of your tooth making it much stronger.
Bridge
Bridges are used to replace missing teeth where implants may not be
suitable. Essentially a bridge replaces a missing tooth by using the teeth either side of the space to hold a false tooth. Unlike dentures, bridges are fixed in your mouth and cannot be removed. If you think you need a bridge or would like to replace a missing tooth we can help you choose the best type for you. Replacing missing teeth is always a good idea, it will give you more chewing ability and take pressure off the teeth that were doing extra work to compensate for a missing tooth.
