 Tooth Whitening:
This professional bleaching technique is the most used treatment of
lightening up existing shade of teeth.
Veneer:
Veneers are like “false finger nails” in appearance only thinner & made from
porcelain that cover exactly the visible surface of a tooth or another type
possible is made from a ‘composite’ material.
They can be used on teeth to change their appearance if patient thinks they
are unsightly, or they are discoloured, chipped or even to close gaps
between front teeth.
Crowns:
A crown (also known as a “Cap”) can be made of tooth coloured porcelain,
porcelain bonded to metal and also gold. A crown is like a made-to-measure
shell that fits precisely over a tooth. You may require a crown if you have
a tooth that is badly broken or heavily filled and so by “capping” it it
will not only restore its appearance but also make it strong and function
again.
Conventional Bridge:
Bridges are the answer to all those that have one or two teeth missing and
don’t want to wear a denture as these are a permanent fixture in the mouth.
A conventional bridge consists of a false tooth/teeth (pontic) in the middle
joined by crowned teeth on either side (abutments) to anchor it in the
mouth. The pontic and abutments can be made from tooth coloured porcelain,
porcelain bonded to metal and also non-precious metals depending on design.
Adhesive Bridges:
There are also adhesive bridges available for when less invasive preparation
is required on the anchoring teeth. These consist of a false tooth in the
middle with one or two metal 2 “wings” either side that bond onto the unseen
surface of the anchoring teeth.
