Dental crowns are caps placed over teeth. They restore their shape and size and provide protection to the tooth.

Dental Veneers

Dental veneers are thin, tooth-coloured shells designed to cover your teeth’s front surfaces.

Your highly trained dentists can help you achieve a natural and beautiful smile with our custom veneers.

When the tooth is no longer salvageable or its nerve (pulp) is affected, root canal therapy may be recommended to save it.
