Porcelain veneers have forever changed the practice of dentistry. Twenty years ago the term cosmetic dentistry was rarely used outside of a dental seminar. Today, thousands of patients have elective procedures to enhance the esthetics of their smile. Advances in dental materials, techniques and instrumentation have made it possible to place restorations that are indistinguihable from the natural teeth.
Many patients believe that cosmetic dentistry is limited to smile makeovers, cases where 10 or 20 porcelain veneers are placed at once. The fact is, that with the modern materials available to us today, every dental procedure should be treated as a cosmetic procedure. This is our philosophy, to create the most natural looking restorations no matter how simple or complex the case may be.
The tabs below refer to some of the most common esthetic concerns that patients have and how these conditions were treated in our office.
