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,
Lisa

This is Jeff from Calabasas. He came to our office frustrated with his discolored chipped teeth. He was tired of whietning his teeth every few months Dr. Kosdon placed porcelain veneers on his top teeth. In just two weeks, Dr. Kosdon took 10 years off his smile. Now Jeff will never have to bleech again!

Gary wasn't happy with his smile. His top front teeth were really forward over the lower teeth which resulted in a "bucky" profile. He wanted to improve his smile and came to Ballantyne Center for Dentistry in Charlotte, NC for a consult. We discussed the pros and cons of putting porcelain on the front surfaces of his top teeth without moving the teeth backwards. This would only accentuate the profile which he did not desire. We opted to have Gary go through pre-treatment orthodontics to mo...

Mr. M didn't like his smile. He had thought about doing something about it for some time, but the timing wasnt right; that is until now. He also knew he had some issues with the back teeth, but he really wanted to see what could be done about his smile first. After a consultation and a new patient exam, a treatment plan was made to include the anterior 8 maxillary teeth for a smile rejuvenation. The complete treatment plan included several other crowns on the posterior molars. Mike was exci...

Ms. D never liked the color of her teeth. She always felt guarded when she wanted to smile and when she would get caught up in a good laugh, it was like an instictive reaction to put her hand up to cover her smile. She decided to do something about it and did her research on veneers. She came into Ballantyne Center for Dentistry for a consultation and questions about porcelain veneers. She asked many questions about what type of materials were used, the longevity of the porcelain, what change...
Brent is a happy and outgoing young man from Sydney, Australia. He was concerned with the fact that he could not express his personality through a smile. He had a big midline diastema (gap) and worn, chipped edges. He was extremely pleased with his new smile that was achieved by porcelain veneers and professional whitening.
Cristina came to us for a cosmetic consultation. She was absolutely against any orthodontic treatment. Christina sincerely informed us that she is extremely unsatisfied with her smile and requested immediate results. We visually and esthetically changed her smile with porcelain veneers without altering her bite. She was childishly amazed with the makeover.
This patient's desired improvement of her smile and correction for crowding of her lower teeth. We used da Vinci veneers to address both of these concerns.

This gentleman never really seemed concerned about his smile. Until, one day...... He decided to go for it. He wanted a nicer smile with a natural appearance and spaces filled in. One has to be ready to make a change. It can be a scary step. However, once the scale has tipped towards wanting to achieve a long held desire there is no stopping. It also helps to have your spouse come in on the day of the preliminary temporary stent try in.( no tooth touching ,only a try in of what things would look...
