Smile With Porcelain Laminates Made By Dr. Worthington
When
teeth require significant changes in their shape or contour, laminates may
be the answer. By placing laminates, small or misshapen teeth can be
built up to regain a more natural appearance, spaces between teeth can
be closed by making the teeth wider and teeth that are too short can be
lengthened.
The laminate is actually a thin piece of porcelain similar in size to a
fingernail. Once it is "bonded" onto the tooth it becomes extremely
strong. Dr. Worthington also blends the laminate in with the remaining tooth structure so
that it is unnoticeable to the naked-eye. Once in place, it looks, feels, and functions just like a
regular tooth.
At Joseph W Worthington DDS LLC we can use porcelain laminates to change the shape and color of a single tooth or, if necessary,
revamp an entire smile. Porcelain laminates can also be used to correct teeth that have been worn
from clenching and grinding.
Please call us at (203) 256-8073 for consultation. You may ask Dr. Worthington or any of
our professional team questions you have about
the benefits of porcelain laminates.
