Teeth are prone to breakages and damages that cause chips, fractures, decay and cavities that can happen instantaneously or slowly over time…
Teeth are made from one of the strongest substances in the body – enamel. Enamel is the outer most layer of the tooth and is white in appearance. It works to provide the inner layers of the teeth protection from the friction and pressure occurred when you eat and speak. If enamel is not properly looked after with proper oral hygiene it can begin to deteriorate and become weak. It is at this point that tooth damages are more likely to occur, which is why at City Smiles we offer stages of porcelain restoration treatments to stop further damage to the tooth while improving your smile.
It all starts at home: oral hygiene is essential for preventing most common problems…
By maintaining regular oral hygiene you are more likely to keep your enamel healthy and strong, in order to prevent it from erosion and deterioration. Tooth weakness occurs when the teeth are exposed to bacteria for an extended period of time, meaning the tooth unprotected long enough for plaque to form after the bacteria has mixed with saliva to form sludge (within hours of eating). Over time, if plaque is not removed, it can harden and turn into tartar (days without oral hygiene), which can only be removed by a highly trained professional. Tartar can slowly erode the enamel, weakening the tooth, which can become susceptible to tooth breakages.
Fix chips and cracks with Porcelain Veneers at $790 per tooth…
Aesthetic damages, such as chips and cracks, are easily fixed with porcelain veneers. By covering your tooth with a custom-made porcelain veneer you can completely alter the composition of your smile. It is quite easy to elongate teeth and hide imperfections, not to mention our porcelain is translucent like natural teeth and is also a very strong and durable material.
Protect your tooth from further decay with Porcelain Crowns at $890 per tooth…
Porcelain crowns or ‘tooth caps’ can be used to cover discoloured teeth, restore a tooth after root canal therapy, cover chips and cracks and other imperfections on the tooth. Like porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns are strong, durable and translucent which allow them to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. They are also custom-made to suit your smile.
Replace an entire tooth with a Porcelain Implant Crown at $1200 each…
Have you lost your tooth entirely? It will please you to know that you can regain your smile easily with our porcelain implant crowns. These implant crowns are very similar to our regular porcelain crowns, except they are specially designed to fit on top of dental implants that cost $1800 per implant. In order to regain function after missing teeth, patients at City Smiles can get dental implants. Dental implants are small titanium ‘rods’ that are secured to the mandibular (jawbone) where the missing tooth once stood. This implant stimulates the mandibular and gums, allowing for a permanent and durable solution to dentures and removable oral appliances. Dental implants give patients a new lease on life by giving them the ability to speak and eat properly again and, matched with porcelain implant crowns, you’ll never know the difference.
