Crowns and Veneers Leicester
If a tooth has fractured or has lost more than 50% of its tooth structure, then a lab based restoration would be recommended to save the tooth. Depending on the covered tooth surface required gives the name of an inlay, onlay or overlay. A crown covers the entire surface of the tooth and a veneer covers the front part of the tooth. A veneer can be made from porcelain, an alternative to composite bonding.
There are different materials a crown/veneer can be made from. EMAX crown/veneer is a material consisting of lithium disilicate, which is a ceramic that has a combination of strength and aesthetics. Zirconia crowns have the greatest strength. Stainless steel and gold crowns are still available within Dentistry.

- Oral Hygiene Habits/Advice/Prevention
- Oral Cancer Screening
- TMJ Check (The joint of the Jaw)
- BPE Periodontal charting (Health of Gums)
- Odontogram (Health of Teeth)
- Bitewing x-rays (free with first check-up)

- A Summary of all the findings

(If you are having some discomfort and believe you need a filling urgently, then it is best to book an Urgent appointment instead of an exam, where we will focus on the problematic tooth and hoepfully treat it within the same appointment.)
A Urgent appointment includes: -
- Discussing the problem the patient is having their tooth
- Dental peri-apical x-ray to assess the tooth
- Treatment plan options with advantages, disadvantages and prices
- Try to complete treatment within the same appointment

Can not thank Dr Roy and Natalie enough. Iam a very anxious patient with a needle phobia. Dr Roy was more than amazing, kind and I hardly felt anything during my filling. Natalie is very calming and reassuring.
