Porcelain Veneers:

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are fabricated to fit on the front surface of a tooth. Veneers require less prep work to the existing natural tooth and are therefore less invasive. Veneers also offer a wide range of pleasing aesthetic results to achieve a more desirable smile, including.

  • Addressing chipped and cracked teeth.
  • Reshaping points, smile line and tiny or worn teeth
  • Addressing stained and yellowing teeth
  • Closing small interdental spacing

Dental Implants:

Dental implants are the permanent solution for missing teeth and can last a lifetime if care for properly. A dental implant is essentially a replacement for a permanent tooth that has been lost prematurely. Implants are made of titanium or zirconium oxide and are surgically placed into the jawbone the same way a tooth root would sit inside the jawbone. Once the implant is placed in bone the decision can be made for what the overlying structure could be. If all the teeth are missing, an overdenture or partial denture may be the best option. The other option would be to place an abutment and a crown on top of the implant, in cases where there are single unit spaces.

Porcelain Crowns and Bridges:

A porcelain crown is used to replace damaged tooth structure that has chronically penetrated the enamel and the dentin of a tooth. Oftentimes, deep decay, coronal fractures, or large leaking fillings will lead to the need for a crown. A crown will sit over the remaining prepped tooth, like a cap, and be cemented into place.

A porcelain bridge is similar to a crown in that it replaces what has been lost. However, a bridge is a multi-unit, attached prosthetic that replaces missing teeth and anchors to natural abutment teeth. A crown is a single unit prosthetic, and each crown is cemented individually. A bridge unit consists of porcelain pontics that aesthetically replace missing teeth. These pontics are attached to one another and to the abutment anchor crowns, that are cemented onto the natural remaining tooth and that becomes the holding foundation for the entire bridge unit.
