A crown (also called a cap) is a prosthetic covering that is used to restore teeth where the structure is too weakened or damaged to accept amalgam or dental composite fillings. The most common type of crown is made out of porcelain fused to metal (PFM). After a few years, recession of the gums can expose the metal, causing black margins against the gum. And for some, the metal can cause allergic reactions and gum tissue irritation.

Veneers are a thin shell of porcelain custom made to fit precisely over the front of an existing tooth. Although they are very thin, veneers become very strong once bonded to the tooth with a special resin. Porcelain veneers are used to whiten teeth, close spaces, fix broken/chipped teeth, and correct misshapen or misaligned teeth. Veneers allow light to transmit through the tooth, resulting in a more translucent and natural appearance. Veneers have advantages over other treatments in that little tooth structure needs to be removed, a healthy, natural look is achieved with little or no discomfort, and they are strong, durable, and color stable.

Want a “Hollywood Smile” Veneers are wafer-thin, custom-made shells that cover the front surface of teeth. Bonded to the front of the teeth, changing their color, shape, size or length, veneers can be made from porcelain or resin composite. Veneers offer a conservative approach to changing a tooth's color or shape compared to crowns, but the process is not reversible. Fixes stained, chipped, crooked or spaced teeth. Finally have that smile you have always dreamed about. Takes just 2-3 Dentist Visits, and lasts up to 20 years.
