Dental Implants
Dental implants are replacements for damaged or lost tooth roots and once placed and secured can be used to secure crowns, bridges and dentures into place. Dr Caplan uses the highest quality titanium dental implants in Hertfordshire. The procedure involves accurately drilling a hole for the implant which is then screwed or tapped into place. The implant is left to heal for 3-6 months so that the surrounding bone tissue can anchor onto the surface of the implant and grow into its microscopic rough surface. Once the dental implant has fully integrated into the jawbone then it can be restored with a porcelain crown, bridges or several implants can be used to secure dentures into place. Dental implants look and feel like your own natural teeth and can last for many years.

Dental Veneers
Veneers are wafer thin shells of porcelain or ceramic that can be “stuck” or more accurately “bonded” to the front surfaces of your teeth. They can be used to correct crooked teeth, stained teeth, teeth that are too short or misshapen and broken teeth. Several dental veneers are often used in smile makeovers to give a perfectly aligned and symmetrical looking bright smile. At Aviva cosmetic dentistry in St Albans London, we offer 2 types of veneers, same day cerec ceramic veneers and laboratory made porcelain veneers. The laboratory made veneers require two visits to the practice and take approximately 2 weeks to be fabricated; they are hand crafted by a ceramist. Cerec Veneers are accurately milled onsite within about 20 minutes and can be fitted to your existing teeth within about an hour. Cerec veneers are stained, polished and glazed by hand to give the perfect colour match and aesthetic result.
