Porcelain veneers and crowns

What are porcelain veneers and crowns?

Porcelain veneers and crowns are ideal for restoring teeth that will be on display as they are built up using layers of porcelain, replicating the translucency of natural tooth enamel. They are constructed off premises by a laboratory using accurate impressions of the prepared tooth.
