Aesthetic Restorations & Veneers

All-ceramic restorations, veneers and whitening can address concerns about tooth appearance. We discuss suitable options for a natural-looking smile.

All-ceramic & Laminate All-Ceramic Restorations & Veneers

All-ceramic restorations use tooth-coloured material for a natural appearance. Unlike veneers, which cover the front surface, a crown covers the whole tooth.

Veneers are thin porcelain restorations placed over the front of teeth with limited preparation in suitable cases. They can improve the appearance of gaps, uneven shapes and discolouration. They are restorative treatment, not orthodontic treatment.
