Dental veneers (sometimes called porcelain veneers or dental porcelain laminates) are wafer-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials designed to cover the front surface of teeth to improve your appearance. These shells are bonded to the front of the teeth changing their color, shape, size or length.
Inlays are indirect fillings pre-made in a dental lab and must be permanently cemented by a dentist. Fillings are different from indirect fillings in that they are soft to begin with and set in the mouth. As opposed to an onlay (the other type of indirect filling), which sits on the tooth and builds up its shape, inlays fit into the space left after a cavity or old filling has been removed.
Crowns can restore health, strength, and beauty to your smile. All porcelain crowns provide a realistic appearance and take just a few short appointments to place. Even in cases where teeth are not damaged, crowns can be used to reshape and cosmetically alter your smile.
Natural-looking crowns can restore damaged or broken teeth. When decay or injury damages a tooth, it is important to correct the problems as soon as possible. Pain and poor appearance often accompany tooth damage. |
