Porcelain Veneers
Dental Implants
Smile Rejuvenation with Porcelain Thin Veneers:
Dental veneers serve a mostly cosmetic purpose; they are used when:
-
teeth are discolored from staining, tetracycline use, fluorosis, etc., and bleaching was ineffective
-
teeth are worn down, chipped or broken on the surface
-
teeth are misaligned, uneven, or irregularly shaped and orthodontics is not required
-
teeth have gaps between them (diastema) that need closure.
A dental implant is the most advanced and effective way to replace a single missing tooth, while maintaining a natural look and feel, yet preserving the bone and neighboring teeth.
Dental implants are the ideal alternatives to dentures, which chafe gum tissue and cause bone lose.
For patients who are edentulous and need a full mouth restoration, dental implants provide the best solution. Insertions of several implants with crowns provide you with permanent teeth and restore your confidence in your natural smile. Implants can also help stabilize and support dentures.
Crowns and Bridges
Solid Zirconia is a monolithic zirconia crown, bridge, screw-retained implant crown, inlay or onlay with no porcelain overlay. Zirconia was originally intended to provide a durable, more esthetic alternative to posterior metal occlusal PFMs or cast gold restorations for demanding situations like bruxers, implant restorations and areas with limited occlusal space. Now, thanks to the new shaded formulation, Zirconiarestorations exhibit improved translucency and color similar to natural dentition, making them a restorative option in the anterior as well. Complete color penetration all the way through the restorations ensures greater shade consistency and prevents any shade changes after occlusal adjustment.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures can be either "conventional" or "immediate." Made after the teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about eight to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.
Unlike conventional dentures, immediate dentures are made in advance and can be positioned as soon as the teeth are removed. As a result, the wearer does not have to be without teeth during the healing period. However, bones and gums shrink over time, especially during the healing period following tooth removal. Therefore a disadvantage of immediate dentures compared with conventional dentures is that they require more adjustments to fit properly during the healing process and generally should only be considered a temporary solution until conventional dentures can be made.
