Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers have gained popularity during the last few years as an aesthetic and healthy option to crowning. Porcelain veneers are extremely durable and their natural looking color is long-lasting. They can be a very good choice for discolored and misaligned teeth. Porcelain veneers look like natural teeth. They give a thin covering to the front of a tooth, similar to a fake fingernail. Porcelain veneers can give you an aesthetic, radiant, and dazzling smile. What to expect

The appearance and fit of the porcelain is checked in your mouth to be sure that it will meet your esthetic and functional requirements. If it doesn't, other try-ins may be scheduled until it looks just right. The bonding involves an elaborate series of steps that bond the veneer to the tooth.

Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. They span the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space. These teeth, called abutments, serve as anchors for the bridge. A replacement tooth, called a pontic, is attached to the crowns that cover the abutments. As with crowns, you have a choice of materials for bridges. Your dentist can help you decide which to use, based on the location of the missing tooth (or teeth), its function, aesthetic considerations and cost. Porcelain or ceramic bridges can be matched to the color of your natural teeth.
