The most commonly used materials for such repair works are the composite.
Porcelain crowns are worn to repair cracked, decayed or root canal treated teeth & implants. It can be used to cover discoloured and abnormally shaped teeth also. They can be done as a single unit or multiple units as a bridge. Crown & bridges enables function & aesthetics of a normal natural tooth/teeth.
Stained or discoloured teeth or those with superficial enamel cracks are often covered partially by special crowns called as dental porcelain veneers. These involve very minimal tooth preparation and are usually done in the upper or lower front teeth.
Teeth Whitening or bleaching is done at clinic or at home to whiten the teeth. Bleaching helps to restore the natural bright colour of your teeth.
