Porcelain Restorations by Columbus Cosmetic Dentistry

Powell Porcelain Restorations All-Porcelain Restorations are designed to restore your teeth back to their original appearance and function. Although there is no substitute to your natural teeth, advancements in bonded materials and techniques make it possible to virtually restore your teeth back to their original strength without the use of full-coverage metal crowns or unsightly silver mercury fillings.

In many cases, crowns can be replaced with a more conservative technique through all-porcelain inlays and onlays.

Types of Porcelain Dentistry

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Laminate Veneers, or simply "veneers", are custom-made porcelain wafers that the dentist places over the fronts of the teeth to enhance their appearance and also to repair damage. Veneers can dramatically change a person's smile and help improve their self-confidence.

Porcelain Veneers can be used to improve a wide variety of cosmetic dental problems. They can whiten stained or discolored teeth, close gaps between teeth, "correct" a crooked smile without the need for braces, repair chips and imperfections, and create a more attractive or youthful looking smile.

Porcelain Onlays/Inlays Fillings

A few types of white fillings include porcelain inlays and onlays. Inlays and onlays are used to restore teeth that are badly damaged by decay or wear. They may be applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth when esthetics are of concern.
