VENEERS Veneers are exactly how they sound: thin porcelain shells that are bonded to the front of a tooth, oftentimes in cases where a single tooth or a group of teeth has been discolored more than others, or as an alternative to orthodontics. Veneers have improved over time and dentists are able to match veneers to your real teeth so no one will ever notice. The treatment requires shaving off a part of your tooth, and be warned that eventually the veneer will require replacement or repair as the porcelain wears away. CROWNS & BRIDGES Bridges fill space from large gaps and missing teeth and are not exclusively cosmetic. Involving a more affordable, less invasive procedure than with implants and orthodontics, they help to improve the appearance of teeth without replacing or straightening. Similarly, crowns help to cap and repair chipped or cracked teeth, restoring them to their normal shape. Porcelain crowns can be completed in one visit and sometimes assist in large fillings. IMPLANTS (REPLACING TEETH) In severe cases of tooth decay, or due to injury or age, one tooth or several teeth may require replacement. Implant technology has improved over the years and now false teeth can match the rest of your smile for a natural, blended look. Continued on page 60 >
