A dental crown is a dental restoration used to shield a damaged or decayed tooth. Crowns are custom-made to fit over the entire tooth, from the chewing surface to the gum line, and are designed to restore the tooth's shape, size, strength, and appearance.Dental crowns can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, metal, and composite resin. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice will depend on the patient's needs and preferences. This procedure involves several visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing a small amount of the outer tooth structure to make room for the crown. Impressions of the prepared tooth will then be taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where the crown will be fabricated. Once the crown is prepared, the dentist will check the fit and make any required adjustments before permanently cementing it into place. With proper care and maintenance, a dental crown can last many years, providing a strong and natural-looking restoration for the damaged tooth. Dental crowns are commonly used to: Protect a weak or decayed tooth from further damage. Restore a broken or worn-down tooth. Cover a dental implant. Improve the appearance of a misshapen or discolored tooth. Anchor a dental bridge. Protect a tooth after root canal therapy. Dental crowns can improve overall oral health, restore function, and enhance the appearance of the smile.

Veneers are a thin layer of tooth-coloured porcelain that is adhered to your teeth. With dental veneers, you are simply covering your natural teeth and attaching another layer of a tooth-like material to achieve the look you wish to achieve. In this way, any aspect of your teeth can be changed with dental veneers: their shape, their size, their colour, anything. Your teeth are first filed down and then shaped accordingly to the dental veneers. Then our dental laboratory will make the dental veneers that you wished for, in the size and shape they need to be in. The process of getting dental veneers: Dental veneers can take up to a week! First, you need to attend our practice for a consultation session with the dentist. During this session, you will need to describe to the doctor exactly what you wish to improve. We recommend observing and looking at your smile first, and deciding what exactly it is you wish to change, and where it is in the mouth. After this, you and the dentist can come to an agreement on where you will get veneers, how many of them you will need, and what they will look like. After this, the dentist will adjust your original teeth to be able to house the dental veneers. This means a thin layer will be taken off of the tooth surfaces, and the length and other aspects of the teeth will be adjusted.
