Veneers & Crowns
Veneers
The principle of veneers is similar to that of placing false fingernails offering perfect shape and colour. Veneers are laboratory-constructed custom-made facings, which are mechanically bonded to the tooth surface. Veneers provide excellent aesthetics because the lab can actually incorporate characteristics such as greater opacity and special stains and colours that allow an almost perfect match to your own tooth structure.
One of the most exciting techniques in cosmetic dentistry today involves bonding a thin veneer made of porcelain to the etched enamel tooth surface. The primary advantages are the beauty, durability and flexibility of the material. Because porcelain doesn't stain like Composite Resin, it remains attractive for a much longer period of time. In addition, gum tissue tolerates porcelain well, thus reducing the likelihood that gum problems will develop.
Crowns
A crown is a laboratory-constructed restoration, which covers all or part of a tooth in order to improve both appearance and function. Crowns are made of cast metal, porcelain or a combination of both. By virtue of their strength and encircling configurations cast crowns allow the reconstruction of individual teeth not possible by any other mode of treatment. With the range of materials we have available to us and with the advances in dental equipment and technology, porcelain crowns can now be made so that even we, as the experts, can have difficulty in distinguishing them from their neighbours.
