The previous case showed just how effective non-invasive techniques can be. Sometimes, however the teeth are too heavily restored and too far out of line for us to use these techniques to any great effect. On these occasions we need to resort to cast porcelain restorations such as crowns, onlays and veneers. When porcelain is used in these ways then the results can be incredible and, literally, patients lives can be changed. Dr Blanchard is an expert in this field and this case shows just how good it can be.
Any body thinking about undetaking this sort of dentistry should visit StoneRock Dental Care for an initial consultation as this will give you all of the detailed information you require to decide if this is the correct approach for you. Please call 01580 752202 today and arrange an appointment with us.

I never get tired of doing this type of dentistry and I hope I never will. The world of bio-aesthetics has shown dentist how we can make dramatic changes to a patients teeth with little or no alteration to the underlying sound tissue. The fact that we can do this at the same time as protecting the teeth from further damage makes this a genuine “win-win” technique. The whitening takes 2 weeks to complete and the builds up are done in one visit, making this not only the cheapest and least invasive technique to change your smile but also the quickest.
This case was one that we monitored for three years until we were able to see that the damage to the teeth was on-going at which point we decided to build up the teeth, having whitened them first. As a matter of course in all such cases we discussed alternative techniques, which for this case would have been multiple veneers and crowns which the patient preferred not to have.
At StoneRock we pride ourselves in the fact that we offer patients a complete range of treatment choices and that we provide dentistry that offers long term stability combined with high end aesthetics. I believe that this case shows this in action. If you would like to know more about this minimally invasive, bio-aesthetic approach could help you protect and enhance you smile then please do not hesitate to call the surgery on 01580 752202 and we will be happy to help you.
