All ceramic crowns are the most esthetic crowns available. Their strength and durability rivals PFM’s. Also, all ceramic crowns will never show a black line. All-ceramic crowns are the best choice for anterior (front) teeth and cosmetic purposes.

All ceramic veneers are thin shells of fired porcelain that are placed on the front and side surfaces of the teeth. Offering a natural look and feel, veneers allow the cosmetic dentist to dramatically change the length, width, color and shape of a tooth. They are the cosmetic dentist's greatest tool for enhancing a smile. Versatile and strong, porcelain veneers are used for a variety of smile enhancements, from complete smile makeovers to repairing a chipped tooth. Restoring teeth to their natural beauty, veneers also resist staining, creating an enduring esthetic straight smile.

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots. Implants provide a strong foundation for fixed (permanent) or removable replacement teeth that are made to match your natural teeth.

An inlay is fabricated outside the mouth after an impression mould has been made. The restoration is then cemented or bonded into the tooth. The width of the restoration does not exceed 2/3 of the tooth width. Inlays are used for small cavities or to replace small fillings. They are very strong, precise restorations.

An onlay is fabricated outside the mouth after an impression mould has been made. It is then cemented or bonded into the tooth. The width of the restoration exceeds 2/3 of the tooth width. An onlay is more conservative than a crown, but usually strengthens a weak tooth. Think of it as a new top for a tooth.

Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal dental crowns can be color matched to your adjacent teeth (unlike the metallic crowns). However, more wearing to the opposing teeth occurs with this crown type compared with metal or resin crowns. The crown's porcelain portion can also chip or break off. Next to all-ceramic crowns, porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns look most like normal teeth. However, sometimes the metal underlying the crown's porcelain can show through as a dark line, especially at the gum line and even more so if your gums recede. These crowns can be a good choice for front or back teeth.
