Composite Fillings
Most of our patients opt for ‘white’ composite fillings. These fillings restore teeth by bonding to the tooth surface and the tooth appears natural at the end of treatment making them almost unnoticeable.
We also offer composite bonding. You can view more detail about this and see some of our patients’ smiles before and after treatment at Composite Bonding Essex.
Veneers
Veneers are a layer of thin porcelain that is bonded to the front surface of a tooth. They are used to cover cosmetic issues with your front teeth such as tooth position, shape or colour. A small amount of tooth preparation is needed so that is the correct shape for the veneer but this is often as minimal as is possible.
It is also possible to have composite resin veneers and these are often bonded directly to the tooth surface with often no or little tooth preparation.
Porcelain Onlays and Crowns
In cases where the hole is too large to just fill with composite, we recommend onlays or crowns as otherwise what remains of the tooth is often at risk of fracturing.
An onlay or crown restores the cavity and extends enough to protect the remaining structure of the tooth from fracturing. A crown is a more extensive form of an onlay but requires more tooth preparation.
Case Study – Porcelain Veneers and Whitening
This result was achieved by placing a number of porcelain veneers and crowns. The lower teeth were whitened with a custom home whitening kit.
