Restorative DentistryWhite
Fillings- We always use white, state-of-the-art esthetic fillings in restoring
front teeth. In nearly all cases nowdays they are used for fillings of the back teeth as
well. Bridges are a series of crowns, usually three or more, made in one piece and cemented as one unit, but in some cases can be a single bonded tooth. Veneers are made of a very thin porcelain that is then bonded to the front surface of the existing teeth. Very little of the original tooth structure is removed prior to bonding the veneers in place. Usually 6 to 8 veneers will be done at one time to ensure a good match of shape, size and color. In some cases where all the front teeth do not need restoring, veneers can also be made using a special white filling material to cover the front surface of the tooth.
