Bridge & Crown and Veneer

The crown has a titanium core with a porcelain layer, which provides strength, stability, and sufficient aesthetic for a tooth.

Titanium castings are lighter than metal, hypoallergenic, mechanically strong, have low thermal conductivity, which will not cause discomfort in eating hot/cold foods, and are physically neutral, which will not cause a ‘metallic’ taste.

This is a preferred choice of dental crowns. Zirconia crowns and bridges are much more resilient than other kinds of ceramic crowns and can resist greater stresses. They also cause less enamel wear on your opposing teeth and can be used anywhere in the mouth.

The most favored feature of Zirconia crowns is that they allow light to pass as a normal tooth would, thus giving a natural look, unlike other metal cores that block the light.

Temporary bridges/crowns are made in our office with acrylic or stainless steel. They are used as a temporary restoration until a permanent crown is constructed.

Veneers are thin shells made out of porcelain or composite material. They are custom-made and cemented to the front side of the tooth (usually used for front teeth).

A veneer can be used to treat dental conditions such as slightly crooked teeth, discolored teeth, or chipped teeth, or it can even be used to cover spaces in between the teeth.
