Porcelain Veneers
If your teeth are discolored, improperly aligned or misshaped, then porcelain veneers may be the best solution. A porcelain veneer is an extremely thin, ceramic covering which bonds to the front of the tooth. A porcelain veneer visually improves the look of the tooth while also strengthening it. Veneers are therefore used to aesthetically enhance the tooth and/or protect a damaged tooth surface. Veneers are a good alternative for teeth that resist whitening procedures while also giving the appearance of straight teeth. Other advantages of using veneers include their long-term ability to provide uniform shape and color while resisting staining.
Porcelain Crowns
If you have teeth which are broken down from normal wear and tear or that have large, old metal fillings, then porcelain crowns can rebuild and enhance the appearance of your teeth. Eating and chewing over time can cause the tooth to break, crack or wear down. If there is no longer enough tooth to place a filling, then a porcelain crown may be your best option. Porcelain crowns are made from a durable all-ceramic material and are the same color as your teeth to ensure a natural appearance while also restoring full function of your tooth.
Porcelain Dental Bridges
If you have a missing tooth, a porcelain dental bridge is an excellent option. A missing tooth can have serious repercussions in the mouth by allowing adjacent teeth to drift into the space where the tooth once was. These areas easily collect food and plaque, which can lead to decay and gum problems. Replacing the missing tooth with a bridge is a quick and easy solution compared to other replacement options. A porcelain bridge can restore missing teeth to natural form, function and beauty.
