Porcelain veneers fall into the category of cosmetic dentistry because they create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent ceramic quality of today’s veneers provides a more natural look than what’s been available in the past.

Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair rear teeth that have a mild to moderate amount of decay or failing existing restorations. They can also be used to restore teeth that are cracked or fractured if the damage is not severe enough to require a full crown—conserving valuable existing tooth structure.   Inlays and onlays are usually made from porcelain or gold. Because they can be created from tooth-colored materials, inlays and onlays are often used to replace metal fillings for patients who desire a more natural looking smile.  They are conservative, esthetic and long lasting restorations.

By replacing missing tooth roots, implants offer more than an esthetic enhancement, providing people with the strength and durability required to eat all the foods they love, without struggling to chew. Although you have a number of restorative options for the treatment of missing teeth, none have proven to be as functionally effective and durable as implants.

In many cases, dental implants may be the only logical choice for the restoration of all necessary functionality of the teeth and supporting structures.
