Dental Crowns
Today’s dental crowns can be crafted in a number of ways to meet your unique needs and preferences. Like dental fillings, dental crowns are one of the most popular restorative treatment options, and recent advancements in technology and materials have made them even more popular and effective. A dental crown is a replica of the visible portion of the tooth.The restorative crown is placed over the tooth it is modeled after, then bonded permanently in place to protect the tooth underneath it.
Because some teeth withstand more pressure than others, and some are more visible than others, your dental crown will be custom-designed according to your specific needs and preferences. Modern crowns may be crafted from durable, safe metal, such as gold, or from more esthetic materials such as porcelain or zirconia.
Dental Veneers
A dental veneer is an ultra-thin shell of porcelain or composite applied over the front surface of your teeth. They are a great way to correct minor issues with wear, uneven alignment, or tooth discoloration. They allow for an improved smile appearance with little-to-no removal of tooth structure compared to crowns. As with all dental work, it is very important you continue optimal home care and see your hygienist every 6 months to keep your new treatment as healthy as possible.
