compostie resin bonding and veneers
Composite bondings are often used to repair teeth, particularly teeth towards the front of the mouth that are visible. Silver fillings can be replaced with tooth-coloured ones if the fillings are visible when you smile. The decision to replace silver fillings for improved appearance should be balanced against the risk of nerve injury and structural damage to teeth which can occur when placing tooth-coloured fillings.
Approximately 0.5 millimetres thick, veneers are bonded to the front of the teeth to mask any discolouration. The equivalent depth of enamel will need to be removed from the front of the teeth to ensure even thickness. Although porcelain lasts longer than resin veneers and resistant to staining and chip, porcelain veneer can also be easily damaged by habits such as fingernail chewing
Generally 4-6 upper front teeth are done at once to get the correct colour matching, quite often patient who decided to do veneers they do not have much natural tooth structure thus crown and veneer combination would be more suitable..

Do you have white spots on your front teeth? Maybe you’ve had them all your life. These have different composition of enamel, most of time demineralisation happened when tooth was still developing. As the light reflect differently on white spot, it may stand out when you smile or take photoes.
Enamel microabrasion (ICON) is a proven way to help reduce white spots lesions on your teeth caused by localized decalcification, hypo calcification, demineralization or other conditions which can cause an irregular enamel appearance. It is a revolutionary and painless way to remove those chalky white spots without drilling. if you have deep white spot lesion, microabrasion would not reduce white spot. you may need to consider veneer or composite bonding.
