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 had old Composite Veneers placed in another office some years prior. As you can see, the shade is dark, the surface texture and luster is absent and there is decay (the dark spots). The old veneers were removed and new veneers were placed giving the patient a much more pleasant appearance. The edges of the teeth were rounded to give the patient a more youthful appearance.
Many people have discolored teeth due to water or medicine that they consumed as a child or due to poor quality tooth enamel. With the modern dental materials that we have today, this problem can be easily corrected. Look at the ?after? photograph and see if you don?t agree that this patient is happy with her new smile.
The six upper teeth are chipped, rotated, discolored and misaligned. After bleaching the upper and lower teeth, 8 ceramic veneers were placed on the upper front teeth to stop the deterioration of the teeth and create a more pleasing smile.
This patient wanted to close the gap between her two front teeth, as well as laser whiten her entire smile. After LaserSmile Laser Whitening was performed in less than an hour, impressions for six Da Vinci Veneers were taken. The results were a dazzling new smile!
This patient had gaps between several of his teeth that he wanted closed immediately. Given the sense of urgency, Invisalign braces were not recommended. Instead we utilized Da Vinci Veneers (as seen on Extreme Makeover and The Swan) after first performing LaserSmile laser whitening. The Da Vinci veneers were then color matched to his whiter smile for optimal effect.
