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 patient came in for a routine cleaning and checkup. She wanted lighter colored teeth. I suggested that we lighten the teeth and then correct the problems with the two front teeth with porcelain laminates,matching the color of the laminates to the newly lightened surrounding teeth.
This fine gentleman is presented with porcelain veneers on his two front teeth. His desire was to improve his aesthetics. I felt we could substantially improve his smile by replacing the "old" laminates.
This retired woman came to us because her direct bonding near the gum line had fallen off. We suggested porcelain laminates. She felt that she would be unable to tolerate anything artificial covering her teeth. We did a chair side mock up of what she would look like without touching the teeth. She loved it and the rest is history.
This lovely lady was unable to show her teeth without great difficulty. We carefully described things that we could do to make her dreams come true. She was unbelievably thrilled. This transformation took 2 visits. We did a careful wax mock-up to get a preview of the final result.This enabled the patient to fine tune exactly what she wanted.

Here is a cosmetic dentistry patient from Beverly Hills California who had 20 porcelain veneers added to their smile to correct the numerous mis-matched, colored teeth.
Dr. Costaras placed four daVinci veneers on the front four top teeth and blended them in invisibly with the patient's natural teeth. "Blend-in" cosmetic dentistry, where only a few veneers are placed among natural teeth, is the most difficult treatment and takes "extreme" skill to achieve invisible cosmetic results. This patient was thrilled to not have to wear braces! This treatment took only two visits over a three week period.
