Crowns are used where a tooth has been significantly weakened from decay or old fillings or trauma. It is a tooth shaped cover used to restore a decayed or discoloured tooth. Cosmetic crowns are also used to improve the appearance of teeth that have had old fillings or in poor positions. Crowns can be made from many different materials including metal, porcelain or even a mixture of materials.

Veneers are thin, semi-translucent “shells” typically attached to your front teeth. Veneers are customized from porcelain material and permanently bonded to your teeth. Veneers are a great alternative to otherwise painful dental procedures to improve the appearance of your smile.Veneers are wafer thin lamintates or shells of tooth coloured material (which can be either porcelain, ceramic or composite bonding material) that are “cemented” to the front surface of teeth to improve their cosmetic appearance. Many dentists use the analogy that dental veneers are for your teeth what false finger nails are for your hands. In a similar manner to how false finger nails are placed or glued to your existing fingernails, veneers are bonded to the front of your existing teeth.
