Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures

Crowns refer to individual caps on specific teeth. These may be all porcelain, or a combination of porcelain and metal.

Generally, crowns are permanent, although patient diet, home care, and dental maintenance can have an effect on their longevity.

Inlays/Onlays Tooth-colored inlays/onlays are also bonded restorations used to replace your fillings — they require two visits to your dentist. Your dentist may use inlays/onlays if your tooth requires additional strength or reinforcement.

Bridges are multiple teeth connected together to form one chewing unit. They may be from three to more teeth in size. Typically, they are cemented in place and are generally permanent.

Veneers are laminated porcelain facings that are made in a dental lab and cemented over the front of your natural teeth. This procedure is especially attractive to people who have discolored teeth, but don't want to have their teeth prepared for conventional crowning.

Bonding refers to facings, like the veneers above, only using plastic resin, rather than porcelain. And, they are made right on the spot, without a dental lab involved.

The advantage of bonding is that there is usually no anesthetic or tooth preparation involved. The disadvantage is that, because they are resins, they do not last as long as veneers, and they can discolor with age.

Dentures both partial and full, are an affordable alternative to implants. The benefits are ease of production and relative less expense. The disadvantages include less chewing strength and an unnatural feel and taste.
