Crowns, Inlays & Veneers

Crowns
Very weak teeth or teeth that are to have a major appearance change will have a crown. This is a protective envelope covering the old tooth and giving it a better chance of long term survival in the 24 hour function situation of your mouth.

Two visits are usually needed and the crown is made by a skilled technician in a dental laboratory.

Inlays
These are somewhere between a large filling and a crown. For example, a back tooth needing a large repair, but not so large that a crown is necessary, will be a candidate for an inlay.

The inlay is produced in a laboratory between two visits, and it looks like a tooth coloured filling that is ready to be fitted (inlaid) into a matching cavity in the tooth, and that is what happens. The tooth is restored to a natural appearance and function.
Veneers
Imagine false fingernails. Now imagine the dental version: false front facings for front teeth made of ceramic or composite materials. These are veneers. They are fixed to the front teeth to change appearance in a simple procedure. Two visits are necessary.



Yes. We can discuss whether straightening by orthodontics or maybe veneering or crowning is for you. Take a look at some photos!

SMILES WITH CROWNS

Young lady in her twenties who had been wary of smiling. See the flash animation on the left of the new smile with crowns.

We changed the teeth shade and alignment.

Just two visits changed her life.

Pleasant smile. Afterwards, this lady wondered why she had put up with those teeth for so long.

It made her look ten years younger.

This lady had endured unsightly spacing of upper and lower front teeth.

Four appointments to tidy her smile.
Appearance transformation, provided with ease at our Devizes dental practice.

An infrequent attender, he had put up with this appearance for a long time. Overcoming his reservations, he asked what could be done. This was the satisfactory result..
