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

Jan came to our office for a cosmetic consultation. She is a busy executive and was concerned with the size, color, and position of her front teeth. After going over all these issues in detail with her, we decided that placing Finesse brand Porcelain Veneers and a Waterlase BioLase gum lift (an entirely painless procedure!), would give her the smile she was after. The first stage of Jan's treatment was to get a full diagnostic wax up mounted and balanced on an adjustable articulater. Then wh...
This patient was concerned because she showed very little teeth when she smiled. She also did not like the appearence of her lower front teeth. 12 veneers were done on the upper and lower front teeth.
This patient had many fillings in her six front teeth that were mis-colored and chipped. In addition, some of these teeth were mis-shapen. Six porcelain veneers were placed across the six upper teeth to provide a beautiful cosmetic correction.
Julie has been a dental assistant in my office for 10 years. Her 2 front crowns were done by the last dentist she worked for. She never really liked them. When she approached me to redo them, I thought it might be a good idea to do some periodontal (gum) surgery first to raise up her gum tissue on her left side in order to even out the smile. Since we were doing that, we decided to do her smile with 8 veneers in addition to the 2 front crowns. She no longer has that unsightly grey ring on top of...
Here's Paula. She came to see me because she was very unhappy with her old bonding. She was very self conscious and rarely smiled. Well, she's always smiling now, now that she had 10 porcelain veneers placed. Next year she wants to do her lower veneers and crowns.
This gentleman worked in the fashion industry and knew that while his smile was not too bad for his age, it could be a lot better. He realized how a powerful, bright and youthful smile could improve his business success as well as his self-esteem and confidence. In two visits, he had the smile of his dreams, using nine Porcelain Veneers mixed with three Porcelain Crowns (where he had prior crowns).
Teeth often do not match faces, but I don't think I ever saw a worse situation than this. Here is a man with very handsome facial features that were totally obscured by these teeth. When I made his teeth fit his face, everything about him instantly looked far better. Nothing else besides the dentistry was done: no plastic surgery, etc. Start to finish was 3 weeks.

Sonya had been dissatissfied with her teeth for many years. She had a couple of teeth that were misaligned and spacing between some of the teeth. Sonya had decided that braces were not right for her, and after talking extensively about what her expectations were we decided that 8 "Empress" porcelain veneers and crowns could fix her esthetic problems. We also did a small gum lift in a few areas to create more uniformity.
Due to a fall, this individual broke her two front teeth, cracked her two lateral incisors, and knocked her left front tooth completely out. The avulsed tooth was successfully reimplanted and was stabilized with temporary crowns on both front teeth. Later both front teeth had root canal therapy (in about one hour). Empress ceramic crowns were used for the four front teeth, with matching porcelain veneers on the canines to make the transition to a lighter color from her old crowns in back.
