Today, looking younger and healthier are concerns that are shared by people, young and old, across the globe. This of course includes brighter teeth, greater smiles and improvement of the overall mouth and teeth health.

Covering broken teeth with porcelain crowns or veneers
Here are some of the cosmetic options for your beautiful smile
Stained or discolored teeth
The enamel that covers the teeth is usually the part that gets stained. The underlying tooth structure also can get yellow over time. Bleaching is one option for healthy and white teeth.
Chips or rough spots
Chips can be filled with a tooth-coloured material called composite resin. The material is chosen to match the color of your teeth. Once it’s smoothed and polished, it will look virtually the same as the rest of the teeth.
Uneven teeth
It’s not uncommon for a tooth to be slightly longer than the rest or have a different shape than its neighboring teeth. With a procedure called re-contouring, we can reshape the tooth to match the rest.
Gaps between the teeth
Small gaps can be closed by applying composite material between the teeth. For large gaps or other surface flaws, we may recommend veneers. Veneers are among the most costly cosmetic procedures. They are permanently bonded to the fronts of the teeth.
Veneers are made from ultra-thin shells of porcelain that are matched to your tooth colour. Your doctor at WestVan Family Dental Clinic also may refer you to an orthodontist to correct your gaps. Some people like or don’t mind a gap. Others are very aware of it and want it closed. You and your dental team can determine the best treatment option. Like: bonding, veneers or braces.
Broken or crooked teeth
For badly broken or structurally weak teeth, you may need a crown. Crowns on front teeth are made of tooth-coloured porcelain. It can appear very life-like. The crown may be all porcelain, or, more typically, porcelain with metal inside that fits over the tooth. Both types of crowns offer excellent results.
