VENEERS, CROWNS & BRIDGES
A Crown
A Dental Crown is a porcelain covering that fits over a damaged , decayed or unattractive tooth. Crowns strengthen damaged teeth allowing them to function normally again. They are indistinguishable for natural teeth. They can even be designed to improve the tooths natural appearance.
Veneers
A veneer is a very thin tooth shaped shell, made of porcelain. They are used to correct tooth discolouration , chipped or poorly shaped teeth. The thin porcelain shell is bonded to the tooth to blend in visually with the rest of your teeth.
Bridges
A bridge is made to replace on more missing teeth. Bridges can be supported by natural teeth , implants or a combination of both. A traditional bridge is made by placing a crown for the teeth on either side of the space & placing a false tooth between the crowns
