Healthy teeth that have yellowed with age or stained from coffee, red wine or smoking usually respond well to whitening. Dentist in Birmingham, Dr Shobhna Chauhan, promotes a home whitening treatment because it is more economical but equally as effective as in surgery bleaching techniques. This is usually the first step in achieving the perfect smile.
Porcelain Veneers
A veneer is a new, glossy, front surface for a tooth, custom made from porcelain. Veneers are extremely versatile and can be used to align crowded teeth, close gaps or lighten tooth colour. Their appearance and strength rivals that of natural teeth and they make amazing improvements to the smile. A ‘Hollywood smile’ or a ‘naturally beautiful European smile’ can be achieved by veneering incisors, canines and even premolars. See British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, BACD for more details.
Porcelain Crowns
Crowns are used to restore severely broken down teeth. The best aesthetics are achieved from crowns that are entirely porcelain. This is because they have a similar translucency to enamel and do not look opaque. Also these crowns do not leave a dark band at the gum margin, like the ‘old- fashion metal- lined’ crowns.
All the above pictures are some of the success stories..
