Exam and choosing an option
Usually about 45 minutes, with photos and X-rays.
What it is · who it suits
Keeping the tooth, renewing the surface
A crown covers the whole tooth; a veneer is bonded to the front only. Both involve some reshaping, to different degrees.
- A badly broken or root-filled tooth that needs protecting.
- Discolouration that whitening does not fix.
- Small chips or gaps in the front teeth.
Benefits
What to expect
Shade chosen with you
We compare shades in daylight before anything is made.
Try-in before fitting
You see a trial version in your mouth and comment on the shape.
Clear about reshaping
We show on a model how much tooth would be removed.
Options
Crown, veneer or bridge
The choice follows the condition of each tooth, not how many you want done.
Crown
For badly broken, heavily worn or root-filled teeth.
Veneer
For sound teeth that need a new colour or a small change in shape.
Bridge
Replaces a missing tooth by resting on the teeth either side.

How it works
Four steps, usually two or three visits
Timings are typical, not promises; you get a specific schedule after the exam.
Preparation and impressions
Usually 60–90 minutes; you leave with temporaries.

Checking colour and shape, adjusting where needed.
Final fitting

Your dentist
Who will treat you
Dr Ha Bao Ngoc
Cosmetic dentistry
Handles veneers, front crowns and whitening. Dr Ngoc matches porcelain shades with you in daylight and tells you exactly how much tooth would be reshaped before anything starts. (Dentist, photo and bio are placeholders.)
Dr Lam Thu An
Restorations and implants
Leads the clinic's implant and crown work. At the first visit Dr An goes through the scans with you and sketches where each implant would sit before money comes up, then stays with the case through the last check-up. (Dentist, photo and bio are placeholders.)
What customers say
What patients say
On my first visit the dentist showed me the X-rays and said plainly which teeth needed work and which did not. I took a week to think it over and nobody chased me.
These quotes are placeholders — replace them with real feedback patients have agreed to share.
Questions
Before and after treatment
How much tooth is removed?
A crown needs reshaping all round; a veneer mostly at the front. We show you on a model first.
How long do they last?
It depends on the material, your bite and how you look after them; we will not promise a fixed number of years.
How do I prepare?
Treat decay and gum problems first. If you want the other teeth whitened, do that first so the porcelain matches.
Any aftercare?
Avoid biting hard objects, wear a night guard if you grind, and come for a check every 6–12 months.
What if a crown chips?
Each type of restoration has a repair-or-redo warranty period. See the warranty policy.
