What Are Veneers and How Do They Work?
Veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth. They are crafted from high-quality porcelain or composite materials, offering a durable and natural appearance. Veneers can correct a wide range of cosmetic issues, including discoloration, uneven spacing, chips, and minor misalignment. The process typically involves a consultation, minimal tooth preparation, and precise bonding to ensure a perfect fit and natural look.
Crowns & Bridges
Restore and enhance your smile with custom crowns and bridges. Dental crowns are tooth-shaped caps placed over damaged or weakened teeth to restore their shape, strength, and appearance. They’re often used after root canals, to repair large cavities, or to protect cracked teeth. Bridges, on the other hand, are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the neighboring natural teeth or implants.
Both crowns and bridges are crafted to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, helping you regain function and confidence in your smile. With proper care, they are durable, long-lasting solutions that improve both the look and health of your teeth.
