All-ceramic crown & bridges

The exciting news about the need for crowns or bridges or replacing old, outdated ones is that it is no longer necessary to have thick, opaque, dead looking teeth, dark metal lines around the gum margins of the tooth or unhealthy looking gum tissue at the finish line
of crowns. Due to advances in technology and adhesive techniques, crown and bridge restorations can be done metal free with all-ceramic designs. Crowns are a fabulous way to restore a tooth that has suffered the effects of decay or fracture. These crowns can be made to match the light transmitting properties of natural teeth and will not stain or change color. They can easily be cared for using your normal daily routine and offer a protective, long-term result. Read More

Porcelain inlay/onlay

As the aesthetic expectations of dental patients are growing, new solutions to routine restorative dentistry have developed. In the past most routine fillings were metal amalgam. As things break down and need replacement they get larger and larger and darker and
darker until they are too large and end up being crowns. Today we can intercept that process by placing porcelain restorations in only the portion of the tooth missing because of decay or fracture and fit it to the tooth like a puzzle piece. These are called inlay/onlay restorations. They are bonded to the tooth, the finish lines are blended and a perfect seal is created by the adhesives essentially making the restoration part of the tooth. The color blends into the tooth color and adds tremendous strength to the remaining tooth.

Reasons for porcelain onlay restorations:

Broken or fractured teeth.
Cosmetic enhancement.
Decayed teeth.
Fractured fillings.
Large fillings.

Porcelain veneers

Porcelain veneers are the conservative state-of-the-art solution to change color, shape, alignment or contour in the anterior teeth making up your smile. They are custom-designed thin shells of porcelain bonded to a minimally prepared tooth surface creating ideal
aesthetics and function. Porcelain veneers provide superior natural aesthetics and comfort. Long-term success is expected and is dependent on many factors, the most important being proper diagnosis, treatment planning and the skill of the cosmetic dentist and aesthetic ceramist.

Reasons for porcelain veneers:

Cosmetically, to create a uniform, white, beautiful smile.
Crooked teeth.
Misshapen teeth.
Severely discolored or stained teeth.
Teeth that are too small or large.
Unwanted or uneven spaces.
Worn or chipped teeth.
