Porcelain Crowns can provide an excellent, natural looking way of repairing decayed or otherwise damaged teeth, making them healthier stronger and more aesthetic. Historically, tooth coloured crowns had to be built upon a metal core to withstand biting forces.
However due to the development of modern stronger porcelains and more recently Zirconia, tooth coloured crowns can be made entirely of porcelain. These crowns are nearly identical to natural teeth and provide a strong health way to restore your teeth particularly when appearance is of prime importance. In this age of dentally and cosmetically aware patients these crowns are increasingly becoming the ideal choice when restoring a tooth,making the teeth healthier and stronger. The best benefit of all porcelain crowns is that it removes the unslightly grey apperance that occurs around old porcelain fused to metal crowns.
Veneers are strong, ultra-thin custom made porcelain or composite laminates that are bonded directly onto the front surfaces of teeth.
They are custom designed for you by carefully analysing your teeth, your bite and your gums to enhance the natural beauty of your smile.
They can be used to close gaps, straighten crowding or disguising discoloured, stained, chipped or fractured teeth.
Once fitted the bonding procedure makes veneers very strong and you can use them like you would your natural teeth. They are an ideal way of giving you the natural and beautiful smile that you deserve.
These are strong, reliable and long lasting restorations that are used to repair a cavity or fractured tooth surface. They are more conservative of your natural tooth structure compared to crowns and can be used to restore the function, appearance and strength of your damaged tooth.
Inlays and onlays can be made from porcelain, gold, or composite or ceramic resin, although porcelain is becoming the material of choice because of its strength and potential to match the natural colour of your tooth.
The procedure involves two visits – at the first one, the old filling or decay is removed and the tooth is prepared for the inlay or onlay. An impression is taken and the inlay/onlay is custom made in a laboratory to fit your prepared cavity.
A temporary dressing is placed in the tooth until your next visit when the inlay/onlay is cemented into place. Your dentist will ensure it accurately fits and there is no interference with your bite and it is then finally polished smooth for you.
