veneer/crown: in a bad looking tooth either because of its shape and colour or damage of the tooth, the tooth is covered with thin covering shell which is known as veneer. If the damage is severe, full is covered completely with crown.
Veneers and crowns are both dental restoration methods that can improve the look and function of your teeth. The main difference is that a veneer covers only the front of your tooth and a crown covers the entire tooth.
• Bridge: If you have missing teeth, your dentist can close — or bridge — the gaps in your smile with dental bridges. A dental bridge is a false tooth (called a pontic) that is held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Although pontics can be made from a variety of materials such as gold, typically they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend in with your natural teeth.
• Denture: A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available -- complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
• IMPLANTS: A dental implant is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis
• Maxillofacial Prosthesis: when someone has any missing part on the face or mouth like eyes, ears, nose, palate, they are replaced with artificial ones, which are called maxillofacial prosthesis.
