Dental Porcelain has significantly evolved over the last 25 years. It is now much stronger and durable and is the material of choice for most single tooth restorations. It can also be used for short span fixed bridges to replace single missing teeth. These new porcelains have excellent esthetic properties and the results are beautifully natural looking restorations that are difficult to discern from actual dental enamel.
In general most dental restorations are now tooth colored. These include fillings, crowns and several types of porcelain restorations. Today there is a very limited use of metal in restorative dentistry except in the case of longer span fixed bridges.
You won’t get the same results with store bought whitening kits. Kensington Dental Care provides professional teeth whitening services that will give you the smile you’ve always wanted.
There are four ways to replace missing teeth:
1) Complete Dentures – These are deemed necessary when there are no remaining natural teeth or none that can be salvaged. These are usually removable.
2) Partial Dentures – These are also removable prostheses that are supported by sound existing teeth and they replace teeth in areas where they are missing.
3) Fixed Bridges – These are protheses that are cemented to existing healthy teeth and usually limited to areas where only 1 or 2 teeth are missing.
4) Implants – Implants are titanium cylinders that are surgically placed in the jaw bones. They become integrated into the jaw bones and can support single tooth restorations or short span bridges. Implants require a healing period of approximately 4 – 6 months before the teeth can be placed on the implants. Implants can also be used as a support and retention mechanism in cases where there are no existing teeth. This would involve full arch prosthetics that are either screwed or cemented onto the implant abutments. Another alternative would be the case of a complete over denture that has internal clips that fit onto specialized implant abutments.

“Last Friday was our big Med Ball event, and each of the graduating medicine classes here in oz got dressed up and had a huge party; we danced and ate and had a great time. But it wasn’t until I saw the pictures the next day that I was amazed. I NEVER had such a beautiful smile than I did that night. And I owe it all to Geoff and the team at Kensington Dental! Thank you so much for your help! I love my new smile :)”
“A nice smile gives me confidence”
It should Joanne, you look great!
“My new smile has prompted many positive comments about my appearance, from friends and family. They look so natural; very few of them have realized it’s my teeth that are different.”
“I’d like to thank Dr. Geoff Van Blaricom for my fabulous new smile. After years of braces and other orthodontic work at various dental offices throughout my life I was still not confident with my smile. After my consult with Dr. Van Blaricom I was confident he knew exactly the result I was looking for. I have gone from having an awkward small smile to always having the biggest smile in the room! I can’t thank Geoff and his team enough for my renewed confidence and
picture perfect smile!”
“I appreciate Dr. Geoff’s attention to detail, loving the new smile. What a difference!”
“I am very happy with the work that was completed. A friend commented that they are “Imperfectly Perfect” meaning that they look like real teeth and done very well.”
