With tooth colored restorations your dentist can now match the color of your Veneer or any other restoration, to the color and shade of your teeth. The tooth colored restoration can be made to look and feel exactly like your existing teeth, giving you a perfectly natural smile.
What are the types of tooth colored restorations?
1. Porcelain Veneer
A dental Porcelain Veneer is a thin tooth-colored shell made of porcelain or composite. These porcelain veneers are custom made to bond to the front surface of your teeth. They are generally used to fix dental issues such as uneven teeth or spaces between teeth, chipped or cracked teeth, discolored teeth and broken teeth.
Porcelain Veneers are a perfect solution for improving the color, shape, length and size of your teeth, giving you a perfect smile. Veneers are durable and can be made to specific shades of color to match your teeth. When done properly, a porcelain veneer can look just like your natural teeth.
2. Dental Crown
A tooth can get damaged or cracked due to an accident or decayed due to an infection. A dental crown is used to cover or to create a cap on a damaged tooth. A crown will strengthen the damaged tooth and restore its original look and function.
The dental crown is permanently fixed in place and will fully encase the damaged tooth. The color of the dental crown can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, so when fixed there is no visible difference in color and the dental crown will blend in with your natural teeth.
3. Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are a type of restoration that are used as an alternative to traditional dental fillings. They are used to treat a decaying or damaged tooth. They are a long lasting solution for a decaying tooth. Unlike a dental filling, Inlays and Onlays are fabricated in a dental lab to match the exact shade and color of your tooth. They are then fixed to your damaged tooth by your dentist.
