The same material used to fill cavities is sculpted and adhered to your existing enamel. This is also a treatment for gapped teeth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Metal-Free Restorations:<\/strong> As opposed to metal compounds to craft fillings and crowns of the past, natural-looking materials like zirconia and porcelain are utilized that are gentler on your teeth and gums. They\u2019ll seamlessly blend in with your smile without causing discoloration or sensitivity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Porcelain Veneers:<\/strong> This comprehensive treatment can address virtually all imperfections. Handcrafted composite and porcelain veneers look so realistic that nobody will know you\u2019ve had any work done. They fit over the visible surface of your teeth and can last more than 25 years with proper maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Father Time is undefeated except when it comes to cosmetic dentistry treatments.
