When it comes to cosmetic dentistry, the materials used and the skills of the dentist are significant components of getting the most from your investment. In smile enhancement, the goal is to create a beautiful smile that looks like you were born with!
Karen – Patient of Dr. Ban Barbat
Esthetic dentistry typically focuses on the front 6 – 10 teeth most visible in a full smile while providing the most natural look and feel possible in shape, shade, opalescence (the way light is reflected) and luminosity (the opaqueness).
In most cases, we use porcelain veneers and crowns. Porcelain is the closest thing in durability and appearance to natural teeth and provides the best longevity of all dental materials. Additionally, porcelain resists staining better than other materials.
When replacing fillings, porcelain is also used for inlays or onlays to give the most natural appearance. When laughing, for example, using porcelain means the ‘tops’ of teeth won’t reveal signs of dental work. They can be precisely shade-matched to blend into existing teeth and, again, with excellent durability.
