Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are custom-designed shells of tooth-like ceramic material that, when applied over the surface of a tooth, can cover worn tooth enamel, uneven tooth alignment or spacing and chips or cracks.
Dental veneers create a bright, white smile with beautifully aligned, shapely teeth. Even better, the translucent ceramic quality of today's veneers provides a more natural look than what’s been available in the past.
Regardless of what causes unattractive teeth, dental veneers may solve most or even all of your cosmetic dental issues, including:

  • Worn enamel: Over time, the thin, hard white substance covering your teeth (enamel) may become worn, dulled, and discolored. Such wear and discoloration may be natural or the result of a genetic predisposition; however, it is often a result of your habits (soft drink, tea, or coffee consumption, smoking, medication use, etc.).
  • Wear and tear: Teeth naturally wear down as people age. Aged teeth are more likely to have chips, cracks or a generally uneven appearance.
  • Genetics: Certain people may be born with abnormal spacing between the teeth that grows wider as they age.
  • Uneven teeth: Uneven teeth can result from tooth grinding or general wear and tear.

more about crowns...

Crowns: When a tooth is fractured or cracked, severely damaged by decay, or has large old filling, a crown (also called cap) is often placed. A crown strengthens the tooth, protects the remaining tooth structure and can improve appearance

Bridges: Teeth can be lost by accident, decay or bone loss. When one or more teeth are missing, the remaining teeth often drift out of position, placing stress on adjacent tissues and teeth. Eating speaking and chewing may be more difficult. You may feel self-conscious about your appearance. Before things start to really go awry, consider what a bridge can do.

A bridge is a replacement tooth that is supported and attached by a crown on either side of the space. The two side teeth (anchor teeth) are prepared to provide support for the bridge.

Dental Composite (white filling) Dental Composite
White Fillings
An Dental composite is a white filling material that is actually a resin polymer. The material comes in many different shades to match the different colors of teeth. Today these new material can be used on front and back teeth. The white color of composite fillings is much less noticeable than the silver coloration of dental amalgam fillings.
Inlays and Onlays Mary Gregory Arlington VA dentist
Mary Gregory Arlignton VA dentist Dental inlays and onlays are restorations used to repair rear teeth that have a mild to moderate amount of decay. They can also be used to restore teeth that are cracked or fractured if the damage is not severe enough to require a dental crown. Inlays and onlays are usually made from porcelain or composite resin to be created from tooth-colored materials.
