Restoration of Teeth

Restoration of Worn, Broken, Discolored or Poorly Shaped Teeth
Dr. McKinney can improve function and the appearance of a smile by fixing broken, discolored, poorly shaped or missing teeth utilizing one or more of the following treatments:

  • Tooth Whitening
    To address teeth that are not as white as desired, custom bleaching trays can be made to use with bleaching solution to lighten and whiten teeth. Although results cannot be guaranteed, most people experience whiter teeth after wearing the trays 2-4 hours per night over three to six weeks. Prior fillings, crowns and veneers will not respond to the bleaching and may require replacement after the desired level of whiteness is achieved.

  • Ceramic Veneers
    Porcelain or Ceramic Veneers are conservative dental restorations that are used to improve tooth appearance by changing tooth color, size and/or shape. Function and tooth strength can also be improved with a Porcelain/Ceramic Veneer. To prepare the tooth for a veneer, a very thin layer of enamel is removed in order to make room for the veneer. The veneer is then bonded to the tooth.

  • Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns
    Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns are the most common type of crown used to rebuild, reshape and/or protect teeth. The Porcelain Fused to Metal Crown requires reduction (preparation) of the outer layer of tooth structure (enamel) so the tooth can be fitted for a crown. It is often a two visit procedure, which involves the preparation of the tooth and temporary acrylic crown placement at the first visit followed by final cementation of the crown at the second visit. With proper tooth preparation, attention to detail (fit and appearance) and thorough home care, your Porcelain Fused to Metal Crowns can offer you years of service while providing you with an attractive smile and functional bite.

  • Partial Gold or Full Cast Gold Crowns
    Sometimes Gold Crowns are needed on back teeth (usually where they are not visible) to protect and rebuild teeth. Gold Crowns are often recommended in the back areas of the mouth as they allow you to keep the maximum amount of healthy tooth structure while protecting and supporting stressed or worn areas. Gold restorations allow for a desirable, close fitting crown and wear most like enamel.
