Porcelain Crowns
Dental porcelain can be sculpted to closely replicate the look of natural
tooth enamel, while providing desirable
strength and resilience. Porcelain crowns are an excellent choice when
recreating the form and function of a
damaged tooth, because a crown basically replaces the entire external
portion of the tooth down to the
gum level. Crowns are not limited to simply replacing the original tooth,
but can be designed to create an even
better aesthetic appearance.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain used to recreate the
natural look of teeth, while also providing
strength and resilience comparable to natural tooth enamel. It is often
the material of choice for those looking
to make slight position alterations, or to change tooth shape, size,
and/or colour.
Cosmetic contouring and bonding
This procedure can correct minor imperfections by simply polishing
the worn edges and sharp angles of your
teeth, making them appear more aligned and symmetrical. Dental bonding
conceals gaps, chips and stains by
sculpting a tooth coloured resin composite to give the appearance of
more attractive teeth.
Bridgework
A porcelain fixed bridge replaces missing teeth by using the
surrounding teeth as a foundation. This creates a
literal “bridge” between the remaining teeth and the missing
teeth. Dental porcelain is a great product because
it can be shaped to replicate original teeth and fit comfortably within
the established bite pattern.
White Fillings
Dentists no longer need to rely on unsightly metals to replace tooth
structure lost to decay, but use high density,
state-of-the-art plastic (composite resins) and porcelain materials
instead. These materials more naturally mimic
the look, feel, and function of natural teeth and actually bond directly
to the remaining enamel and dentin. This
means that new fillings preserve more of the natural tooth so less repair
work is necessary immediately and in the
future. These modern filling materials are also more natural in appearance;
it’s almost impossible to tell that your
tooth has a filling.
Gum Reshaping
Periodontal plastic surgery is often used to correct irregularities
in the gums. This is done by adding or
removing gum tissue in certain areas. The objective of periodontal plastic
surgery is to give a proper framework
to the dental work, much as an attractive frame and matting enhance
a beautiful painting
Tooth Whitening
Most teeth can be whitened (some call it bleaching) and there are a
number of ways to whiten teeth.
External tooth whitening happens when vital teeth are bleached by direct
contact with a safe and commonly
used whitening agent, either in a dental office or at home. This means
that in most situations, tooth whitening
is possible and safe.
