Veneers
Veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded onto the front surface of teeth to create a cosmetic improvement for a tooth. Veneers are used by dentists as a way to make changes for teeth that are discolored, worn, chipped or misaligned. Porcelain veneers, also known as laminates, have a number of esthetic advantages:
Porcelain can capture and reflect light giving it a more natural look.
Porcelain veneers are made from ceramic materials, which will not stain.
Veneers offer one of the best cosmetic options for people who either want a more natural smile or a whiter smile, beyond what whitening can offer.
The procedure generally takes 2 dental visits, approximately 2 weeks apart. The first visit is the preparation of the teeth and the second visit is the cementation of the porcelain veneers.
Bonding
BONDING can improve the appearance of teeth that are chipped or broken, discoloured or stained, crooked or rotated, have unattractive spaces between them, or have bridge facings that are worn or broken. By adding a tooth-like substance to a tooth, BONDING changes the tooth's shape or colour, increases its size, or repairs a defect in a tooth. BONDING is a multi-layered process in which durable, enamel-like composite resins are intricately applied to the tooth before it is exposed to a special light. The state-of-the-art BONDING material is highly polishable and stain resistant. Any extrinsic stains which might occur can be removed by a routine dental cleaning. Most BONDING procedures can be completed in one dental visit and last between 5-10 years depending on a number of factors, including the materials used and the patient's care of the restored teeth.
Prosthodontics
E4D
This latest system provides customized dental restoration in the sameday, in a single visit. This means no more impressions, no more second or third visits. A customized crown, onlay, inlay or a veneer can be produced and specifically stained and glazed to match all other existing teeth. Your tooth is prep, digitally scanned and the information is transferred to a milling unit where the dental restoration is created right in the office, and permanently placed in your mouth.
