Often, we are so busy taking care of our other business, we forget about ourselves. After general restoration of cavities, the patient told us she was interested in fixing her front teeth and asked what was involved. We told her that first, we would make a diagnostic wax-up of the ideal and let her see what things would look like in her mouth. After trying in the provisional stent(without any tooth preparation) the patient was so excited to begin. "How soon can we start?" .Your wish is my comman...

Sometimes, orthodontics is required to align the teeth to allow for the most conservative preparation to be used. This was the case here, where we fabricated 4 Porcelain Laminate Veneers after the Othodontic treatment.

Time passes and we are not always aware of the changes that come along with it. Since we are not usually looking at ourselves, it would more likely be someone else who sees the changes. However, once it is pointed out and the person becomes aware of it, restoration can then be done to refreshen the time worn condition. Here, we were mostly concerned with the worn and thin edges of the front teeth. These were refreshed with porcelain laminate veneers.

New York NY Cosmetic Dentist - Sometimes, it takes a traumatic event to help one decide to improve their smile. This Patient fractured an existing crown. She decided to replace just the 2 front crowns. It was interesting to find out that the previous DDS had replaced the crowns twice. Still, the result was less than optimal and more importantly,it was not acceptable to the Patient.

White spots or hypercalcified areas can create quite the Aesthetic dilema. After a long period of time, this Patient decided she wanted to improve her smile. We placed 2 porcelain veneers(laminates) which matched the natural tooth pretty well. She was quite happy with the result.

We all want whiter teeth. However, sometimes, it takes more than tooth lightening to accomplish the change requested. Here we mixed Porcelain crowns with porcelain veneers to balance the smile. We will continue farther back in the arch at a later date.
