If you’ve always dreamed of having perfectly formed and neatly aligned teeth, you may be interested to know that porcelain veneers can create a perfect smile. Veneers made of exquisite porcelain can tidy up your smile and can be fitted in just three professional appointments.

The veneer procedure is painless and often much less expensive than having dental crowns, orthodontic braces or caps fitted. Here’s what you need to know about veneers.

About porcelain veneers

Dental veneers cleverly and attractively cover ugly stains on teeth from tobacco, foods or medication. They also close unsightly gaps between teeth without the expense of dental braces. Crooked or chipped teeth can be made perfect in appearance with veneers.

The approximate length of durability for veneers is 15 years or more, making them a long-term solution for gaining a perfect smile.

Veneers made of the whitest porcelain have become very popular. Veneers restore attractive smiles to self-conscious patients. The smile of your dreams is three professional appointments away.

How porcelain veneers are created and fitted

The entire procedure for fitting porcelain veneers usually requires three visits with your dentist, as follows:

  • the initial examination and consultation where your goals and needs are thoroughly discussed and your dental options are explored
  • the fitting for any moulds and the selection of the exact colour shade you require
  • the final procedure to bond the porcelain veneers to your existing tooth or teeth

Ready for the smile of your dreams?

If it’s time to create the smile of your dreams, we invite you to come in for a discussion of the type of smile you wish to create. After listening to your goals, we will clearly define a dental plan to achieve your desired outcomes.

If porcelain veneers are an appropriate solution to your requirements, we will use our years of experience performing this procedure to create a winning smile for you.

Dental Implants – A Permanent Solution For Missing Teeth

implants

For a long while, bridges and dentures were the only dental solutions available to people with missing teeth. Today, however, dental implants are growing in popularity and have become one of the leading dental procedures performed to close the gap left by missing teeth.

Instead of merely covering over the space of missing teeth, dental implants replace the tooth roots and are covered by permanent or removable replacement teeth made to match the colour and spacing of your original teeth. These new teeth look and feel like your own teeth because they are permanently fused with your jawbone.

Why choose dental implants over other solutions?

There are a number of benefits that implants offer over dentures and bridges. They are permanently fixed in your mouth, so there is no danger that they might slip out of place or cause your speech to slur.

While removable dentures can be uncomfortable, you won’t realize that dental implants are there in your mouth – they actually become part of you as they are permanently fused to your jawbone. This makes eating easier and improves your self-esteem with a natural smile you can be proud of.

What does the implant procedure require?

Unlike bridges, which rely on additional support, your dental implants will not alter any nearby teeth. Implants work best for those who have good overall oral and gum health with adequate bone in their jaws to support them.

Dental implants can replace anywhere from one tooth to all of your teeth. Depending on how many teeth are being replaced with implants, you may need to be on a soft food diet for several weeks while your mouth heals. Once the implants have stabilised and your mouth is healed, your new teeth will be permanently fixed in your mouth.

How do I know if I need implants?

Dental implants are a great option for anyone with a healthy mouth who is missing one or more teeth. It is a permanent dental solution and any implants you do have won’t adversely affect the health of your other teeth.
