Porcelain veneers are thin pieces of porcelain
used to recreate the natural look of teeth, while
also providing strength and resilience comparable
to natural tooth enamel. It is often the material
of choice for those looking to make slight
position alterations, or to change tooth shape,
size, and/or color. Ref http//yoursmilebecomesy

Bonding is among the easiest and least expensive
cosmetic dental procedure. The composite resin
used in bonding can be shaped and polished to
match the surrounding teeth. Most often, bonding
is used for cosmetic purposes to improve the
appearance of a discolored or chipped tooth. It
also can be used to close spaces between teeth,
to make teeth look longer or to change the shape
or color of teeth. Ref http//www.colgate.com/en

You may have asked your periodontist about
procedures to improve a "gummy" smile because
your teeth appear short. Your teeth may actually
be the proper lengths, but they're covered with
too much gum tissue. To correct this, your
periodontist performs a dental crown lengthening
procedure. Ref https//www.perio.org/consumer/de

Dental Implants are permanent, replacement
roots for missing teeth. Implants provide a
solid and long-lasting solution to missing or
failing teeth. The procedure involves the
extraction of the failed tooth (if the tooth
hasnt already been removed), and placement of a
permanent dental implant. After proper healing
time an abutment (affixed to the implant) and
implant crown (placed on top of the abutment)
will reestablish a new permanent tooth where
there was one missing. Ref http//www.chicagoden

Tooth Colored Fillings, otherwise known as
Composites are fillings that are placed on
teeth due to minor decay or cavities. The resin
filling material blends in with the natural color
of the tooth, and reestablishes support and
normal function. Fillings are important because
they help prevent the progression of decay, and
refortifies tooth structure after the decay is
removed. Composite fillings can also be utilized
to reshape damaged or chipped teeth. Ref
