Veneers
If your teeth are chipped, broken, or discolored, porcelain veneers are a
great way to change the color and shape of your teeth. A porcelain
veneer is a covering over the tooth that gives natural color and bridges
small gaps. Veneers can be a great alternative to braces for slight
orthodontic problems and provide a beautiful smile in a short amount of
time.
Crowns & Bridges
If
your teeth are damaged or decayed, crowns may be constructed to restore
them back to their original form. If you have missing teeth, a bridge
may be utilized. These restorations are cemented onto the teeth and are
referred to as "fixed" dentistry as opposed to a restoration of missing
teeth with a removable appliance or partial denture.
Implants
Implants are an increasingly popular alternative to dentures, crowns and
bridges. They have many advantages, including their natural appearance,
improved comfort and unequaled convenience. If you are considering
implants, we can discuss the considerations and help you make the
decision that is right for you.
Bonding
Bonding is covering the front surface of teeth with durable composite plastic to
either change the tooth's color or shape, or the rebuild broken teeth.
Bonding is a low cost alternative to veneers as a way to improve your smile. Bonding is great for children who have
chipped front teeth and for adults who need an alternative for veneers
and understand the limitations.
Tooth Colored Fillings
Direct composite fillings, inlays and onlays are tooth-colored restorations that are used in place
of silver fillings on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. This approach
has become very popular because bonded restorations can restore the
tooth to near 85% of its former strength, and of course, they improve
your smile.
