Fixed Prosthodontics
Fixed prosthodontics is the area that is focused on replacement of missing teeth, by way of crowns, bridges, implants and also implant supported dentures. We specialise in Full Mouth Rehabilitation Cases.
Modern dental advances provide a host of options for replacing missing teeth-from traditional dentures to crowns & bridges (metal ceramic and metal free ceramics) to the latest dental implants.
Dental crown is a tooth cap placed to cover the tooth to restore its shape, its size and its strength. A Dental bridge is a combination of crowns.
A dental crown may be advised to :
- Protect a weak tooth (for instance, from decay) from breaking especially after an Root Canal Treatment
- Restore an already broken tooth or a tooth that has been severely worn down
- Cover and support a tooth with a large filling when there isn’t a lot of tooth left
- Hold a dental bridge in place
- Cover misshaped teeth or severely discolored teeth
- Over a dental implant
Veneers and Laminates are a thin shell of porcelain or resin that is bonded to the surface of the teeth. This can change their shape, shade, and position to improve the cosmetics of your teeth and smile. They are also used to replace and restore any lost tooth structure where indicated.
Your dentist will do a complete examination of your teeth to determine if veneers are ideal for you. Veneers often provide the opportunity to dramatically transform the aesthetics of your teeth and smile.
Veneers can enhance the shape of your teeth, make your teeth as white as you want, and give you the smile you have always desired. Additionally, Veneers are bonded to your tooth structure, which gives them strength. Since they are very thin, Veneers are considered one of the most conservative cosmetic treatments available. Most of the time, very little or no tooth structure is removed before placing veneers. Ask your dentist how veneers can improve your smile.
