Veneers are used to improve the appearance of teeth which may be badly stained or positioned.
These are made out of either composite resin (componeers) or porcelain (Veneers) and are placed on the front of the tooth which only needs minimal preparation.
Crowns
Crowns may be needed due to failure of large fillings or extensive loss of tooth structure due to fractures or decay.
A crown is used to cover a damaged tooth. Crowns are fixed over the damaged tooth and provides a strong tooth shaped structure, a crown can be used to improve appearance, shape or alignment.
Thanks to modern technology, crowns and veneers can now have natural translucency to provide a more natural looking appearance. Gold crowns are still available upon request.Lab Made Crowns
Crowns can be made at a dental laboratory. An appointment is needed to take impressions of your teeth and this is sent to the lab to make the crown. A temporary crown is placed and an appointment is made after 2 weeks to return to the practice to get the crown fitted.

Same Day CEREC Crowns
CEREC 3D is one technology breakthrough that allows dental practitioners to quickly restore damaged teeth with natural-coloured ceramic filling, Veneers or Crowns. The CEREC system utilises modern CAD/CAM (computer aided design. manufacturing) technologies, incorporating a camera.
The entire process on average lasts approximately 2 hours. This means you can walk out with a new crown the same day.
Benefits of CEREC
- No conventional impressions- The CEREC camera takes a precise measurement of the damaged tooth, eliminating the need for impression moulds.
- No Temporaries – Restorations are milled out of a solid ceramic block quickly, eliminating the need for temporary fillings or crowns.
The restoration is natural looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti abrasive and plaque resistant. These restorations have been proven precise, safe, durable and effective.
Bridge
A bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. It’s made by taking an impression of the surrounding teeth, which will eventually support the bridge. The bridge is then fixed onto your own teeth.
