Common Questions & Answers about Porcelain Veneers
"I have a slight tetracycline stain across the top of my teeth. What are the odds of either the tray whitening system or the light activated in office system reducing this stain? Is one system more likely to work than the other?
Thanks,

This mid-50s patient wanted a disease-free mouth with a smile that he could be proud of. Often patients do not realize the a healthy mouth is not necessarily a beautiful mouth, and a beautiful smile is not necessarily a healthy smile. This patient got both. First Dr. Edilia removed the decay from some back molars and replaced the tooth structure with natural tooth colored fillings. Then she created veneers for the front teeth - providing the patient with a HEALTHY and BEAUTIFUL smile. He ha...
This poor young lady's teeth were naturally misaligned, combine that with compulsive grinding and you get the crooked smile you see here. With natural looking veneers and the removal of a bit of gum tissue, the teeth now appear straight and whole. This patient uses her night guard religiously to keep from grinding these new magnificent teeth. (in the after picture, the gums are still a bit red from the mild surgery that straightened them up.)
A remarkable difference in color and shape. This patient was very introverted by her front two teeth, which were several shades darker than the others. The veneers shaped the teeth to a more aesthetic effect and, of course, corrected the color. Now this young patient is happily smiling when she goes to school.
This patient is in the sales field, so her appearance was very important to her success. Her stained and crooked teeth caused her to be introverted and concerned, particularily when talking to a high profile client.
After her dental "makeover" this patient was surprised to find out just how important her self confidence was to her success! She says Dr. Edilia gave her a brand new outlook on life!

This patient arrived with her teeth heavily stained from Tetracycline (an antibiotic) as a child. This presented a unique problem as the staining potentially could show through the veneers. With the proper procedure however, her teeth came out white and straight. The patient hugged and hugged me when she saw the results.

This patient was always fearful of the dentist. Her smile enhancement
was accomplished with a combination of crowns and veneers on her upper
four front teeth and tooth whitening.
This patient arrived at our office frustrated with her sub-standard smile. Her front teeth were short and she had an underbite. After a short time in Fast Braces and then Veneers on her 10 top front teeth, this patient left our office with a wide gleaming smile!
