Cosmetic Dentistry

For many years, Dr. Wilson has been heavily involved with cosmetic dentistry and its dramatic and ongoing development. Shown below, are a few examples of the dramatic difference cosmetic dentistry can make to your appearance. There are several techniques available and the doctor can advise you which will work best in your case.

Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are esthetic shells of porcelain strongly bonded to the front of the teeth and are commonly used to improve the appearance of discolored, chipped, worn, or misaligned teeth. If you would like to read more about this procedure, visit the Animated-Teeth web site.

Before	After
In this example, the patient's discolored teeth were dramatically whitened with porcelain veneers.

Crowns and Bridges
Crowns cover over and completely encase the tooth. They are commonly used to replace broken teeth. Bridges are used to fill gaps caused by missing teeth. They involve crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap and a false tooth (or teeth) between. For more information on crowns, visit the Animated-Teeth web site.

Before	After
After many years of poor dental hygiene, crowns can become badly discolored and require replacement as shown in the photos above.
