Restoring the appearance of your teeth with our dentist

There are different ways of improving the aesthetic appearance of a tooth or multiple teeth with our dentist in Parramatta. Crowns and veneers are two of the most popular choices for restoring a tooth. They can be used to disguise the imperfections that are affecting the appearance of teeth. Crowns are used to disguise imperfections caused as a result of cavities and tooth decay, whilst veneers are better suited to address cosmetic and aesthetic issues of the teeth.

When you smile it is difficult to tell the difference between a crown and a veneer so you need to speak to our dentist in Parramatta and find out why you would choose one over the other. First you will need to understand the underlying differences between the two. Crowns cover your entire tooth. A crown is also known as a cap. A veneer on the other hand is designed to only cover part of your tooth. So deciding between a crown and a veneer depends on how the tooth is affected. Our dentist in Parramatta will be able to put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. They will assess your individual dental requirements and take your personal preferences into consideration.

One of the main factors that our dentist will consider is whether or not the tooth is healthy. If you are looking to address the cosmetic issues of your teeth then you still require a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to make sure that there are no signs of cavities or tooth decay. Crowns are designed to repair broken teeth or decayed teeth whilst restoring the appearance of the teeth. Your tooth is still present, however it is covered with a protective shell, the crown. This covers the entire surface of the tooth up to the gum line. The crown looks just like one of your natural teeth and helps restore the function of your mouth as well. Crowns are usually used for your back teeth and can last up to 15 years with good dental hygiene and regular visits to the dentist.

Veneers in Parramatta

Veneers are used to address the aesthetic issues that are affecting the front of your teeth. A veneer works like a false fingernail and fits over the front and lightly over the edges of your teeth to create a perfect looking smile. Your natural tooth requires slight preparation so that the veneer can fit in place without appearing bulky. Veneers are made of porcelain so that they are stain resistant and provide excellent aesthetic results, as well as strength and durability. They are an excellent way of transforming your smile. Some patients only require one or two veneers to disguise imperfections that may be affecting the appearance of their smile, whilst others undergo a full set of veneers for a complete smile makeover. You can undergo a mockup of your veneers that will allow you to see what your teeth will look and feel like before making a decision. We encourage this because choosing veneers is a big decision to make. Once in place the veneers will last between 10 and 20 years, therefore you want to make sure that you are happy with how they look and feel. By speaking to our dentist at Spa Dental Parramatta you can find out more about crowns and veneers and you can decide with the help of our dentist what is the best choice for you.
