Treatments Available
Veneers
Veneers are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to transform a smile using minimally invasive techniques. Veneers can be used to mask the appearance of surface defects, discoloration, and to correct slight orthodontic irregularities. There are two types of veneer techniques available, the traditional laboratory made porcelain variety and composite veneers which are created in surgery by the dentist.
crowns
Crowns can also be known as caps and are held in place by a dental cement or adhesive. They are used to restore the function and aesthetics of broken or damaged teeth. There are three different types of crown available, all ceramic, porcelain bonded to a metal alloy and all metal crowns. The type of crown provided is determined on a case by case basis but depends on the function the crown has to perform and the stresses it will be under in the mouth as well as aesthetics.
Bridges
Bridges can sometimes be used as an alternative to dentures and implants to replace missing teeth. The types and materials used can vary depending on a patients’ clinical situation, your dentist would discuss this with you when your treatment options are explained. Bridges are usually made of a metal base to provide strength, however if the bridge will be visible then porcelain is bonded to the base to make it look as natural as possible. With new materials it is possible to have a non-metal bridge but this depends on the situation and your dentist would discuss this further with you
dentures
A denture is a removable prosthesis used to replace missing teeth. Commonly referred to as ‘false teeth’, a denture is usually made of acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal.
Composite Bonding
Composite bonding, is another option when considering changes to your smile or a complete smile makeover. This technique only requires one visit as the veneers are created chair-side by the dentist.
