Veneers, Crowns and Bridges

Veneers

Many people are self conscious about their smile and would like to improve certain aspects. They may have stained teeth or unsightly fillings or crowns or it could be something subtler than that, such as the teeth being too short as a result of grinding or the gum line of adjacent teeth not matching correctly to each other.

We offer a comprehensive range of procedures that can be applied with predictability and a high degree of success. These include:

• Porcelain Laminate Veneers: - These are a thin covering of porcelain bonded to the front of the teeth in order to enhance appearance. We can close spaces, change the colour, increase the size, or straighten teeth. Porcelain allows us to create life-like teeth with the procedure being painless, involving minimal tooth preparation and the results are stunning.
• Bonding: - Composite resin bonding is used to repair fractured teeth as well as to change the shape and colour of teeth in much the same way as veneers the difference being that this treatment is completed in one visit and requires no laboratory procedures.
  

Crowns

Natural effect Crowns – Crowns are literally covers for teeth. They are used to rebuild teeth which are broken or heavily filled. They can also be used to correct any damage caused by excessive wear in order to restore the tooth's original dimensions. There are a variety of materials that can be used to construct crowns with the superb technical support here at Smile Studio Penarth they can be virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Bridges

Natural effect Bridges – These are another method to replace missing teeth providing the space is not too wide. A conventional bridge utilizes crowns on nearby teeth to support the artificial teeth . This treatment is used when the supporting teeth are strong enough. An Adhesive bridge is attached to a sound tooth by modern bonding materials and requires only a small amount of preperation of the tooth.
