FAQ
What is cosmetic dentistry?
Aesthetic or cosmetic dentistry can be described as one or more dental treatments that improve the beauty of your smile. And a beautiful smile can be the beginning of a more successful, confident personality.
What is Porcelain Restoration? (Veneers and Crowns)
Veneers are thin slices of ceramic or porcelain. These are made to fit perfectly over the front teeth’ visible surface. Therefore it’s a dramatic makeover that will give you a healthy, stunning smile. Porcelain Restoration is a great way to treat discolored or ugly teeth, closing gaps between front teeth and giving a healthy, long-lasting natural result.
A Crown is an artificial restoration that fits over the remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong and giving it the shape and color of your natural tooth. This is a great way to deal with damaged, decayed, or broken teeth.
Cosdent corrects problems with one or another, and when needed, with the combination of these two techniques.
What are the benefits of the Porcelain Restoration?
