With Hollywood’s incessant focus on appearance permeating every facet of life it’s no wonder people are turning to cosmetic dentistry to get that straight, white healthy looking smile.

More and more the focus is on how people look and how they achieved that beauty. Nowadays, people want that instinctively effortless look and this is one of the reasons porcelain veneers are fast becoming the one of the most requested cosmetic dental procedures.

Veneers are tooth coloured, porcelain shells that cover the visible part of your tooth; and with advances in cosmetic dentistry gone are the days when it was obvious you had veneers. Now, they are paper thin and indistinguishable from your natural teeth. These paper thin porcelain veneers help you to achieve that healthy, white, natural-looking smile.

Porcelain veneers…

• Or misshapen.

Porcelain veneers are also idea for improving, the shape of your teeth as well as the length, size and tooth colour. This can help produce healthy natural looking smiles.

Crowns…

This is an aesthetic and functional solution placed over an affected tooth. The tooth is completely covered by the crown and this is done to amend its size, strength or shape.

There are two types of crowns that are generally used:

1. Metal Bonded Porcelain Crown:

these have been used for many, many years and are still used depending on what shade you are after. Metal bonded porcelain crown consist of a metal core with porcelain baked around it.

Once the crown in cemented in place the metal is virtually invisible.

2. Zirconia All Ceramic Crowns:

the only difference between this one and the metal bonded porcelain crown is that this type of crown contains no metal.

One of our City Smiles Dentists will be able to advise you on which crown is better for you and why.

Crowns are usually used to repair teeth that have been damaged by fillings, grinding, clenching or root canal treatment. They are also a great cosmetic option if excessive wear has occurred.
