This process helps the teeth get a whiter appearance.

Composite restoration is highly aesthetic and conservative in the removal of tooth structure. It also possesses good attention due to its strong bonding to the tooth structure.
VENEERS
A veneer is a layer of material placed over tooth to improve the aesthetics of a smile.

This is most commonly used Veneer. It is a thin piece of porcelain that is bonded to the visible surface (Labial) of the tooth. It can be prefabricated or custom-made.

TOOTH JEWELLERY
Tooth Jewellery is an accessory placed on the labial surface of the tooth. This style craze lest you express your individuality through your smile, making it more unique and fashionable. There are different type of tooth jewellery to choose from, such as tooth gems and twinkles (pure glod or precious stones like diamonds, sapphire, and ruby). Twinkles are the most commonly used tooth jewellery.
DENTAL CROWN AND BRIDGE
A dental crown is a tooth-shaped ‘‘cap’’ that is placed over a tooth cover the tooth to restore its shape and size, strength, and improve its appearance. Dental crowns when cemented into place fully encase the entire visible portion of a tooth that lies at and above the gum line.
Permanent crowns may be fabricated using all metal, all ceramic, porcelain-fused-to-metal, and all resin materials.
Bridges help in restoring your smile, maintaining the shape of your face, disturbing the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth, preventing the remaining teeth from drifting out of position, besides improving chewing and speaking ability.
