Composite fillings are another popular cosmetic dentistry treatment. Many people have silver fillings from years ago, and these can easily be replaced with composite fillings. These are white in colour so they are less noticeable.
Composite fillings can also be used to repair chips and improve the overall appearance of your teeth, as well as building up a tooth where not much structure remains. In short, they provide a simple solution and can have a big impact.
Dental crowns are used to repair teeth. They are often used when a tooth is broken down quite extensively, and the crown is used to protect the tooth that remains.
Crowns essentially consist of a type of cap that is the same colour as your teeth. The natural tooth that remains is prepared during the first session, and the crown is applied in the second session. It provides protection and adds strength, but it also improves the appearance of the tooth.
Veneers are used to improve the colour and shape of a tooth. A veneer is a thin layer that is the same colour as your teeth. When a tooth needs fixing, this layer is simply bonded to the front of the tooth (usually one of the front teeth) to give it a completely new look.
Very little preparation is required, making it a quick and easy cosmetic dentistry treatment option.
