Veneers, crowns and bridges explained
Here at the Dental Boutique, we understand that cosmetic dentistry is about more than just ‘creating the dream smile’. While cosmetic dentistry can improve your confidence, dental solutions such as veneers, crowns and bridges are also used to restore the function of damaged or missing teeth.
From talking to chewing, these innovative treatments are used by private dentists to help you regain functionality in your day to day life too. Each of these three treatments offer their own unique advantages for individual needs.
If you’re considering veneers, crowns or bridges, allow The Dental Boutique to help you understand the options of premium dental care available to you. Read on for the information you need to make the most informed choice for your health and appearance
Understanding dental veneers
Porcelain veneers and composite veneers are thin shells of dental porcelain or composite resin that are adhered to the front of the teeth. This dental solution is used to close gaps between the teeth to provide a much sought-after ‘A-list’ smile. Using technologies including 3D scanning and CAD/CAM (computer aided drawing systems) to ensure that the veneer seamlessly fits the underlying tooth, veneers are particularly suitable for giving chipped, discoloured, misshaped or slightly misaligned teeth an instant makeover. However, if your natural teeth are extremely broken or damaged, veneers are an unsuitable dental solution. At our private dental clinic, we offer several cosmetic treatments designed to straighten and balance your smile – read on for more.
Understanding crowns
Dental crowns are used to rebuild fractured, damaged or decayed teeth, whereby a dental covering is fitted over the tooth from above the gum line. This type of dental solution improves the appearance of the tooth, and unlike veneers, is ideal for patients lacking a substantial amount of tooth structure. From porcelain to ceramic, close unsightly gaps and give your smile a makeover with crowns made from a range of different materials designed to suit your individual preference and needs.
Understanding bridges
Unlike crowns and veneers, dental bridges are a form of dental restoration that are fitted to replace missing teeth.
This solution is done by adjoining adjacent teeth and replacing the missing teeth with false teeth, known as pontics. Using the adjacent teeth as anchors, the bridge is composed of crowns, custom-made in a way that mimics the look of the patient’s natural tooth or teeth. Dental bridges are one of the most cost-effective options for replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile and your private cosmetic dentist will work with you to create a bespoke dentistry plan to help you achieve your desired outcome.
