A composite laminate dental veneer is provided for attachment to the labial enamel surface of a human tooth. In one form of the invention the dental veneer comprises an outer lamination composed of stain-resistant, chemical-resistant and erosion-resistant material and an inner lamination composed of a material having the capability of efficient bonding to the labial enamel surface of the tooth and having the capability of permanent attachment to the outer lamination in such manner as to define an integral veneer mass. The outer lamination may be composed of dense, stain-resistant materials such as cross-linked polymer and various vitreous materials such as ceramic material, glass and the like. The inner lamination may be composed of a noncross-linked polymer or a porous and cellular ceramic, glass or vitreous substance. The laminate veneer also employs a color system embodying an additive color system which includes color pigments of an enamel blend and a subtractive color system which includes color pigments of a dentin color blend. These color pigments would be distributed in color centers or microdots of color that are layered within an matrix.

OUR FEATURED SERVICE
Dental braces (also known as orthodontic braces) are a device used in orthodontics to correct alignment of teeth and their position with regard to bite. Braces are often used to correct malocclusions such as underbites, overbites, cross bites and open bites, or crooked teeth and various other flaws of teeth and jaws, whether cosmetic or structural. Orthodontic braces are often used in conjunction with other orthodontic appliances to widen the palate or jaws, create spaces between teeth, or otherwise shape the teeth and jaws. Most orthodontic patients are children or teenagers, however, recently, more adults have been seeking orthodontic treatment.
Teeth move through the use of force. The force applied by the archwire pushes the tooth in a particular direction and a stress is created within the periodontal ligament. The modification of the periodontal blood supply determines a biological response which leads to bone remodelling, where bone is created on one side by osteoblast cells and resorbed on the other side by osteoclasts.

Dental implants are the perfect solution for people who have lost some or all of their teeth. When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants offer a more permanent and convenient solution than traditional dentures or removable bridges.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root replacement and is used in prosthetic dentistry. There are several types of dental implants; the most widely accepted and successful is the osseointegrated implant, based on the discovery by Swedish Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark that titanium can be successfully fused into bone when osteoblasts grow on and into the rough surface of the implanted titanium.
