FELDSPATHIC VENEERS and CROWNS

Feldspathic veneers and crowns use a layering technique where layers of porcelain are laid down and the tooth is grown, much like a pearl or natural tooth grows to create feldspathic veneers. This gives a natural, vivid, lustrous appearance to the veneers that create the most natural, life-like, smile makeovers that can be achieved.

Material
• Feldspathic porcelain

Advantages
• Highly cosmetic with
  minimal thickness

Indications
• Anterior/ Posterior
• Veneers
• Crowns
• Inlays/ Onlays

Placement
• Bond

 

PORCELAIN INLAYS

Porcelain Inlays and Onlays are used to restore back teeth that require large fillings. If the broken or decayed part of a tooth is too large then a white filling is not always possible. In this situation we use porcelain inlays. Inlays are stronger than white fillings but still allow excellent aesthetics. They are bonded on to the remaining tooth structure.

Material
• Feldspathic or pressed
  ceramic

Placement
• Bond

Indications
• Posterior

Advantages
• Superior strength
• Excellent aesthetics
