Dental technicians and dentists work closely together as a team. Dr. Collard will send your impression along with a prescription to the laboratory where the technician will make your crown or bridge.

The dentist will consult with the technician regarding the shape, contour, materials and methods of production of your restoration.
Dental technicians are considered the “artists” of the dental health team.
Dental technology is constantly evolving as new materials and cutting edge techniques are developed and made available to the technician for the creation of natural looking restorations.

If you have a gap between your teeth one method we can offer to close this is to add veneers to your teeth.

This is a case we restored in our office.

The veneers are porcelain, and are manufactured in the laboratory. We attach them with a tooth coloured filling material to your teeth.

The natural teeth need to be reduced a little to allow the veneers to look normal in shape.

This is done with some freezing. A copy of the teeth is made with an impression and sent to the laboratory.

Temporary filling is added to your teeth while these are being manufactured.
 

The temporary filling is removed, and the procelain bonded to the tooth surface.

These veneers are very strong and resistant to staining. They can be expected to last for many years before any maintainance is required.

If there is any damage, the veneer can be removed and a new one made and bonded. There will not be any extra loss of tooth with this.
