Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are routinely used to cover teeth which are discoloured, worn, chipped or malaligned. Porcelain veneers often alternatively termed dental veneers or dental porcelain laminates, are wafer thin shells of porcelain which are bonded onto the front side of the teeth in order to cosmetically improve their appearance. Typically veneers are difficult to stain, making veneers, a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers lasts from 10-15 years, and come in colours that will brighten dark teeth with the worry of them changing.

Composite Fillings
A composite filling is a tooth colored restoration used to repair a tooth caused by decay, cracks or fractures. There are several different types of restorative materials available to you. Composite and silver amalgam are most widely used. However unlike metal fillings, composite fillings can be matched to the shade of existing teeth. This makes them cosmetically pleasing in restorations to the more visible areas of the teeth. With proper care , composite fillings will last a long time, but as with most dental restorations they are not always permanent and may someday require replacement.
