At Choufani Dental Polyclinic, we have the experience and expertise to bring together the various advanced dental disciplines.
Dental crowns:
Dental crowns are prosthetics used to cover or "cap" a damaged or decayed teeth specially root canal treated ones. They restore the tooth’s shape, size, and function, and also improve its appearance. Our crowns are made from various materials, including:
Zirconia: High strength material used to mimic the natural shape and color of the tooth and provides a very long life with great results
Porcelain: Matches the color of your NATURAL teeth and is often used for front teeth.
Ceramic: Similar to porcelain, offering a NATURAL appearance and used for aesthetic purposes.
A crown is typically recommended when a tooth is too damaged or weak to be restored with a filling or other treatment. The process involves preparing the tooth by removing any decay, shaping it to fit the crown, and then placing the crown over the prepared tooth. Sometimes, a temporary crown is placed while the permanent one is being made. Crowns can last many years with proper care and can significantly enhance the functionality and aesthetics of your teeth.
Dental veneers:
Dental veneers are thin, custom-made shells designed to cover the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. It is custom to each person and should match the shape, design and ratios of the face. They can address a range of cosmetic issues, including:
Discoloration: Covering stains or discoloration that doesn't respond to whitening treatments.
Chips and Cracks: Hiding minor damage and creating a smooth, even surface.
Minor misalignment of teeth: Improving the appearance of slightly crooked or uneven teeth without the need for braces.
Size and Shape: Altering the size or shape of teeth to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.

Consultation: Discussing your goals and expectations with your dentist and deciding on the best type of veneer for your needs. Not everyone is a good candidate for veneers. Each case is studied separately to evaluate which treatment would be most appropriate for a specific individual.
Preparation of teeth for restorations:
Removing a small amount of enamel from the front of your teeth to ensure a proper fit for the veneers.
Taking impressions of your teeth to create custom veneers.
Temporary Veneers: Sometimes, temporary veneers are placed while the permanent ones are being made.

Veneers are a popular choice for cosmetic enhancement because they offer a relatively quick and effective way to achieve a beautiful smile. However, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups to ensure they remain in good condition.
