Whitening
Teeth naturally become stained with the consumption of food and drink. Dental whitening contains an ingredient that lifts stain from deep within the enamel. The result is a whiter, more youthful smile.
Crowns & Bridges
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped "cap" that covers the tooth to restore its shape, size, strength, and/or to improve its appearance. A dental crown may be needed in the following situations:
- To protect a weak tooth from breaking or to hold together parts of a cracked tooth
- To restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
- To cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn't a lot of tooth left
- To hold a dental bridge in place
- To cover misshaped or severely discolored teeth
- To cover a dental implant
Permanent crowns can be made from all metal, porcelain-fused-to-high-noble-metal or all ceramic.
Inlays
An inlay is similar to a filling and lies inside the cusp tips of the tooth. They are custom-made to fit the prepared cavity and are then cemented into place.
Onlays
An onlay covers one or more cusps of a tooth. Onlays are indicated whenever substantial reconstruction is required. However, more of the tooth structure can be conserved compared to the placement of a crown.
