Crowns are also helpful to cover large areas of decay after they have been filled. Or, for smaller areas of decay, all-porcelain onlays or inlays can be used. These are similar to crowns, but retain more natural tooth structure. For unattractive front teeth, we can create pretty, natural shapes and shades by applying paper-thin porcelain veneers to the fronts of your teeth. If you are missing a number of front or side teeth, we can create a removable partial denture, designed for either the upper or lower jaw, made of all acrylic or all metal. They are attached to existing teeth by means of precision acrylic clasps and must be removed for cleaning, afte
