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?

The patient's upper and lower front teeth were chipped from a sports -related accident. The upper and lower front teeth were restored with beautiful natural looking Porcelain Veneers made in one appointment. The teeth were restored using Cerec Computer Technology. The new smile was created and finished while the patient waited.

This patient had bonding placed on her teeth when she was a teenager due to tetracycline staining. She was becoming self conscious when they started to stain and chip. She had porcelain veneers done and you can appreciate the difference. She smiles alot now..

This mid-50s patient wanted a disease-free mouth with a smile that he could be proud of.

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.)
