Uneven, Chipped, or Worn Teeth

Solution:

At the Smile Design Center, we can offer you the following treatment modalities to improve your smile if you have uneven chipped or worn teeth:

Porcelain veneers are thin porcelain laminates, which are custom-made by an artist-technician. These laminates are bonded to the minimally prepared teeth (the tooth structure requires minimal grinding). This procedure will be completed in two visits. It is the most durable and longest-lasting treatment option.

Porcelain crown or bridge work is best for correcting major structural problems with individual teeth or for missing teeth replacement. New porcelain (or ceramic) technology is available to replace severely broken and/or missing teeth so that no one can tell that the replacements are not real.

Composite veneers (also called bondings) can be cosmetically placed on your teeth within just one office visit. It is possible to achieve with them almost as good of a cosmetic effect as with porcelain veneers, but their long-term durability is inferior. Less preparation is required than for porcelain veneers. Quite obviously, the cost of this treatment is lower as well.
