A
porcelain laminate is a bonding technique used to whiten
and change the shape of teeth. They are thin sheets
of porcelain which overlay the facing of a tooth to
change the tooth's appearance. Laminates may be placed
without any discomfort and may be used to whiten teeth,
close of undesirable spaces and change the shape of
the teeth.
A
dental implant is a biocompatible metal (pure titanium)
tooth substitute, surgically placed in bone, which is
used to support one or several replacement teeth. In recent
years dental implant treatment has earned a credible reputation
for replacing missing teeth, whether it be all of the
teeth in a jaw, several teeth or a single tooth. Specialized
treatment is available using well-known and time-proven
titantium osseointegrated dental implants.
