Porcelain Veneers Toronto
Porcelain Veneers are very thin custom-designed dental restorations that are bonded directly on to the front of the teeth. If chipped, broken, worn, stained teeth are stopping you from smiling confidently then porcelain veneers are the answer to your problem. In as little as two visits you can become the proud owner of a dazzling beautiful straight smile that you have always wanted. Dr Michael Botbol expertise with porcelain veneer restorations can mask crooked teeth and correct unevenness of spacing between teeth.
The wafer-thin porcelain veneers require little tooth preparation and you lose a negligible amount of enamel. The veneers are extremely durable and will last for many years. They are also very resistant to permanent staining from tea, coffee, nicotine from cigarettes, etc. Dr Botbol will guide you in selecting a veneer shade that matches the whiteness of your natural teeth. Because porcelain veneer can mimic the look and feel of tooth enamel, it is an ideal material to use for filling superficial cracks and correcting chipped teeth.
Porcelain Inlay / Onlays Toronto
Porcelain Inlay / Onlays and onlays are an innovative and conservative restoration procedure to treat damaged teeth. They are innovative because they can be carried out in a precise manner and they offer excellent esthetics and functional use. They are a conservative restoration procedure because they help to preserve and strengthen healthy teeth enamel. Inlays and onlays are used mainly to repair cavities and teeth that have been cracked or damaged. Inlays and onlays can also replace worn out metal fillings. An inlay/onlay procedure can be completed in as few as two visits.
Usually inlays are used for cavities that are in-between the teeth. When the material is bonded to the entire biting surface or covers one or more cusps, it is called an onlay. Onlays protect and strengthen the weaker areas of the tooth. Porcelain inlays/onlays are tooth-colored and therefore almost invisible. They do not stain easily and are long-lasting.
