Porcelain shells

A common complaint is that we are not happy with the shape, size, colour or size of our incisors, or that we have too big a gap between our teeth. This is called a diastema between the two large incisors. We can also help with this problem with the help of so-called shells. The porcelain shell is made by the dental laboratory from a sample taken by the doctor. based on the impression and the tooth shade requested by the doctor, which is selected together with the patient from the tooth shade key. This is the indirect shell. And the direct shell is made by the doctor from tooth-coloured aesthetic fillings using a light-polymerisation technique. This technique can also be used to treat caries on the outer surface of the teeth.
