Crowns and Veneers
Kimbolton Dental Practice offers highly-effective restorative treatments for teeth that may be aesthetically or structurally affected by injury, large fillings, root canal treatment or general wear and tear. The remaining tooth might be chipped, cracked, weak, stained or otherwise compromised. If you are seeking a solution that restores both the integrity and look of the tooth, you can certainly benefit from the following treatments available at our clinic:
Porcelain Veneers
Traditionally the treatment of choice amongst celebrities but now accessible to many, porcelain veneers are extremely thin sheets of porcelain which transform the size, shape and shade of the teeth. Any cracks, staining, large gaps or breakages are quickly transformed and the smile is beautiful once again.
Porcelain Veneers Are The Treatment Of Choice For Full Smile Transformations
Veneers are often used when patients are seeking a total smile transformation. They are made from high quality ceramic to guarantee a solid construction and a highly natural final shade and finish. You can choose the precise shade of veneer that you would like, including shades to match surrounding teeth, or brighter, whiter shades for a complete set of veneers used to totally transform your entire smile.
As veneers are used to replace a thin layer of enamel at the front of the tooth, they are ideal for correcting chips, staining and other flaws. Rather than waiting for teeth straightening treatments or multiple corrective procedures, veneers can also be used provide an instant transformation that gives patients the Hollywood smile they always dreamed of.
The key benefits of veneers include:
Veneer Treatment
Usually we can fit veneers in as few as two appointments. During the first appointment we prepare the teeth and take a digital image for the accurate and precise creation of your veneers in our laboratory. In some instances we may place temporary veneers to wear until your final appointment. When you come and see us again we will re-prepare the teeth and place your permanent veneers using high-grade dental adhesive. Just a few adjustments to ensure your new smile is perfect, and your treatment is complete.
Inlays and Onlays
Inlays and onlays are dental restorations used to strengthen and save teeth at the back of the mouth that require treatment. Onlays cover the complete chewing surface of a tooth, whereas inlays are fitted within the tooth. Before placement, the teeth are prepared by taking away decay or fillings, then taking an impression to create a custom-made inlay or onlay from porcelain or plastic resin depending on your preference.
Crowns
Dental crowns are used when fillings, bonding, inlays or onlays are not enough to restore a tooth. A crown works by replacing the entire tooth surface from the gum line up, so the tooth root remains intact and healthy, protected by the new crown on top. We are pleased to offer the most modern material for dental crowns known as ceramic. This has replaced porcelain as the material of choice for tooth restorations and allows us to complete repairs without the unsightly black line associated with traditional metal-bonded porcelain crowns.
Key Crown Treatment Benefits:
Crown Treatment
When you have crown treatment the tooth is prepared by taking the complete outside section away, leaving a healthy inner. A mould is then taken of what is left and a crown is made to fit on top of that prepared part of the tooth, whilst also fitting naturally with the opposite teeth, helping you maintain a healthy bite. We can usually complete your crown treatment in as little as two visits.
