A veneer is a thin, custom-made shell that is placed over the front of a tooth to improve its appearance. A crown, on the other hand, is a cap that covers the entire tooth, providing both cosmetic and functional benefits. While both veneers and crowns can be used to improve the appearance of a tooth, crowns are often used when the tooth is damaged or decayed.

Veneers can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, composite resin, and ceramic. Porcelain veneers are often considered the most durable and natural-looking option, while composite resin veneers are more affordable and can be completed in a single appointment

The lifespan of veneers depends on several factors, including the material they are made from, the patient’s oral hygiene habits, and their lifestyle choices. On averagel, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can help to extend the lifespan of veneers and ensure optimal oral health.

The lifespan of a crown depends on several factors, including the quality of the crown, the type of material used, and how well it is cared for. On average, crowns can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings can help to extend the lifespan of crowns and ensure optimal oral health.

Yes, there are several options for replacing missing teeth that may be better than dentures. These include dental implants, which can help retain removable dentures, or even be used to provide patients with a completely fixed solution to replacing their missing teeth.

The exact outcome of a smile makeover depends on your individual needs and goals. However, in general, a smile makeover can improve the color, shape, size, and alignment of your teeth, resulting in a more attractive and confident smile.

The process for getting veneers typically involves a consultation with your dentist, followed by records and smile design. The next visit is to reshape the teeth, take impressions, and make temporary veneers for you to go home with for approximately 2 weeks. The porcelain veneers are then crafted, and an insertion appointment is needed to bond them to your teeth.

The cost of veneers can vary depending on a number of factors, including the material used, the complexity of the case, and the location of the dental practice. On average, the cost of a single veneer at Transcend is around $2000-$2500 per tooth.

The cost of an implant can vary based on several factors, such as the location of the tooth being replaced, the complexity of the procedure, and whether any additional treatments are required such as bone or gum grafting.. During your consultation, our specialists will provide you with a detailed estimate of the cost of your treatment. On average the cost of an implant with a crown (tooth) is approximately $5000.

Both implants and bridges can be effective options for replacing missing teeth, but the right choice for you will depend on your specific needs and goals. Implants are a durable and long-lasting option, but may require more extensive treatment. Bridges can be a quicker and less invasive option, but may need to be replaced more frequently, and can affect the adjacent teeth.

There are several options for replacing a missing tooth, including implants, bridges, and partial dentures. Each option has its own benefits and drawbacks, and the best choice for you will depend on your specific needs and goals.

In some cases, a bone graft may be required before an implant can be placed. This is because the implant needs a stable foundation in the jawbone to properly fuse and provide long-term support. Our specialists will evaluate your oral health and take a 3D radiograph (CBCT) to determine whether a bone graft is necessary for your treatment.

A gum graft is a surgical procedure that involves covering areas of the gum that have receded. This can help to protect the roots of the teeth and improve the overall health and appearance of the gums. The specific procedure will depend on the extent of the gum recession and the type of graft being used.

A bite reconstruction involves restoring the teeth and bite to their optimal function and appearance. This can involve a variety of treatments, such as orthodontics, restorative procedures, and periodontal treatments. Our specialists will create a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs and goals.
