CROWNS,BRIDGES AND VENEERS
The appearance of our teeth is important to all of us. Veneers and crowns can be used to make your smile look great.
Crowns are also used to increase the strength of teeth which have large fillings or have root canal treatment.
At Wynnum Dental we place all types of crowns, including porcelain fused to metal and gold crowns which are sometimes more suitable for those with heavy bites.
WHAT IS A VENEER?
Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain which are bonded to the front surface of the tooth. They can be used to improve the appearance of a tooth or teeth by changing the shape or colour.
WHAT IS A CROWN?
Dental crowns cover over and encase the tooth they are placed on. They can be used to improve appearance and strengthen teeth.
WHAT IS A BRIDGE?
A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth or teeth in the mouth. It uses remaining teeth on either side of the gap to support the new ‘artificial’ tooth or teeth. A bridge is permanently fixed in the mouth.
The appearance of teeth can also be improved by whitening (see our special deals) and general restorative procedures.
