Veneers & crowns

Repair chipped, cracked or broken teeth with our beautiful porcelain crowns and veneers

We are able to offer metal free crowns; made completely from ceramic, these crowns are beautiful and natural looking.

What are veneers?

A veneer is a thin layer of tooth coloured material which fits over the front surface of your tooth. Veneers are commonly used to improve the appearance of teeth and can change the colour, shape and even position of your teeth. Porcelain veneers are individually made in the laboratory where our skilled technicians will hand-finish each one to ensure a natural match to the neighbouring teeth. The process involves gently shaving the front surface enamel from the tooth. The delicate porcelain veneer is then bonded to the prepared tooth. This can be a fantastic treatment option for many people looking to improve the appearance of stained, crooked or misshapen teeth.

Composite veneers

At Cambria Dental Practice we also offer composite veneers, also sometimes referred to as composite bonding. This is a minimally invasive treatment option as it requires virtually no tooth preparation and the veneer is created from tooth coloured composite material. Composite veneers are used to create beautiful natural looking teeth and are particularly good for closing gaps and changing the shape of teeth. We also provide Smilefast Dental Veneers which incorporates digital 3D smile design technology. This means that a digital image of your new smile can be created for you to review and approve before the treatment is completed.

What are crowns?

Crowns are laboratory made restorations which cover the whole tooth. A dental crown may be needed if tooth is badly broken down, i.e. if it has a large or worn out filling, or has a large amount of decay.

What kind of crowns do you offer?

With old technology, dental crowns were made with a metal foundation; although strong, they often appeared dull and lifeless and it was common to have the metal showing as grey or black around the gum line. Today we can offer a range of metal free crowns; made completely from porcelain or ceramic. These crowns are beautiful, natural looking and strong so make a great choice for front or back teeth.
