When teeth have been extremely structurally compromised by decay, fractures or old existing restorations, composite (tooth colored) fillings may not be indicated. In these circumstances, Dr. Jezdinsky recommends the use of laboratory processed, advanced porcelain restorations (crowns, bridges, veneers). Similar to white fillings, they are bonded to the surface of the teeth. They are extremely natural in appearance and, due to their strength and surface characteristics are ideally suited for larger restorations.
Porcelain Dental Veneers
Porcelain veneers are placed so precisely they are undetectable to the human eye.
The veneers, made of laboratory-processed porcelain, are bonded tightly to the surface of the tooth; the porcelain veneer can even provide additional strength to the overall tooth structure. A seal forms between the border of the tooth and the porcelain veneer preventing bacteria from penetrating the tooth's surface.
Advantages of porcelain veneers: they are very natural, extremely durable and require a minimum of tooth reduction.

Crown & Bridge
Crown and Bridge is the oldest and most established cosmetic dental treatment option. In the most general terms, crown and bridge techniques involve cutting down the tooth or teeth to be restored and covering them completely with crowns or "caps."
In some cases, if the tooth or teeth in question are severely decayed or damaged, crown and bridge is the only viable treatment option. But, depending on your situation, the advancement of cosmetic dental technology has offered some alternatives, such as bonding, porcelain veneers, whitening or tooth implants.
Dr. Richard F. Jezdinsky can evaluate each patient situation and suggest the best treatment suitable.
Dental Implants
For the replacement of missing teeth it is imperative that dental implants be considered. Whether replacing a single tooth or several teeth implants may provide a more natural appearance and feel. Unlike conventional bridgework implants can provide tooth replacement without the need to cut down adjacent teeth. In addition to preservation of the adjacent teeth the implant also prevents the loss of bone in the area of the missing tooth. Replacing the tooth with an implant restores function to the bone and prevents the resorption of the bone.
Dental Implant Technology has developed to the point that it has become a part of mainstream dentistry, especially Cosmetic Dentistry.
To replace missing teeth, implants may be the solution you've been looking for. Recent advancements in tooth implant techniques mean that you can enjoy that healthy, natural smile you've always wanted. There is a wide variety of dental implants available.
