• Crowns : Caps that cover the teeth if decay is extensive. Bridges : Cover gaps between teeth. Inlays : Ceramic material that is bonded to the tooth to cover unsightly fillings and for added support. Veneers : Thin layers of porcelain that is bonded to the front of the teeth for alignment, or to improve their color or form. Tooth Whitening : A process that lightens discolored enamel and dentin. Complete Dentures : Dentures that replace all of the natural teeth in the upper or lower jaw, or both. Removable Partial Dentures : These replace only the missing teeth leaving the natural teeth as and where they are. They can be removed for easy cleaning.
