Porcelain Veneers

A porcelain veneer is a thin layer of porcelain which is made to cover the front surface of the tooth. A Porcelain veneer can change the appearance of the existing tooth similar to the manner in which a false fingernail on a nail.

Many patients suffering dental problems such as discoloured, crooked or mal-positioned teeth, are able to experience brilliant results with porcelain veneers. By using a porcelain compound, which is added to the tooth in a number of very fine layers, the appearance of a tooth can be significantly improved.

Ceramic fillings

Using CEREC technology, ceramic restorations are able to be created to match the colour of your natural teeth. A 3D image of your tooth cavity is taken with a tiny camera, once captured, the image is projected onto a screen. This image then programs a diamond coated milling machine to perfectly carve the restoration from a small ceramic block (all while you sit back and relax in the dental chair).

Once the restoration has been carved the treatment resumes as the restoration is fitted and bonded. Once fitted it is polished to result in a smooth and natural feel. The perfectly bonded porcelain ensures long life, maximum strength and a natural look for your tooth.

This complex procedure can be performed by our highly trained dentists in a single treatment session. No more temporary fillings or multiple appointments!
