read moreYour appearance to all folks, ranging from the general public to your most intimate partner, is received and interpreted both consciously and subconsciously. There can be very significant and powerful responses, even beyond one's conscious perception and awareness. Whether you desire a modest improvement or major correction, porcelain veneers can help immensely. Porcelain veneers are durable, color (shade) stabile coverings over the front visible surface of your teeth. Preparing for & placing veneers is a very conservative process, especially compared to crowns (caps).

read moreAt Advanced Dental Care we believe in offering our patients what's most appropriate from basically 3 alternative options for tooth replacement: Ideally an implant. Second choice would be "Crown and Bridge." A less desirable, but a viable selection, would be a removable denture. Your teeth affect your whole body and a missing tooth can affect your bite, speech and what you are able to eat. As you rely more on your remaining teeth, the chance of wearing them out prematurely, or be damaged or lost increases.

This implies covering the entire biting surface of a tooth. Many tried and true traditional and also modern materials can be used. An exciting new, yet proven, technology is my Cerec cad-cam approach. In one single visit an esthetic all porcelain crown or onlay can be designed, constructed, and bonded to your tooth. Missing teeth, when replacement can't be done with an implant, can be replaced by suspending between crowned adjacent teeth; hence a "bridge".

read moreTo replace missing teeth - if implants are not an option; nor fixed/cemented bridges - then removable dentures can be constructed. We can replace a single tooth or multiples, all the way up to full dentures. Newer techniques and materials allow for more esthetic, durable, and perhaps more comfortable prosthesis. As with all our restorations, we enjoy the challenge and quest for the natural looking and esthetic results. Advanced Dental Care offers dentures as one of our many available services at our Providence, Rhode Island ( RI ) office.
