Enamel Replacement: Porcelain Veneer Laminate Dentistry

Cosmetic Dental Makeover Technology

If there was any major source for catapulting the popularity and effectiveness of porcelain veneer laminates and bonding ... it would certainly be the famous ABC-TV Extreme Makeover and The Swan television programs.

Davinci Dental Labs, creators of the now famous Davinci Veneer, established themselves as one of the most efficient and artistic dental labs in the country, if not internationally.

The creative and artistic use of porcelain laminates were demonstrated to be extremely effective in creating Hollywood, celebrity style smiles.

It is the creative use of this popular technology by individual dentists, however, that determines how successful the procedure and outcome will be for different types of dental conditions.

Bad Veneers

Research on the internet indicates there indeed have been significant veneer failures in cosmetic and makeover dentistry. These failures tend NOT to be a product failure.... but rather a failure in technique or bonding (cementation) application.

Different Veneer Brands - Different Cosmetic Characteristics

Dr. Briglia strives to educate patients about the properties of the different porcelain veneer products offered in our practice, thereby providing the information they need to make an informed decision. Dr. Briglia believes, as other accomplished makeover dentists do, there is no single veneer technology that can provide solutions for all patients and dental conditions. Unfortunately.. there are some dentists that do.

Extreme Makeover Types

The popular veneer products, including DaVinci and Empress, are outstanding laminates that can mimic natural tooth colors, shading and opalescence to an astounding degree.

Feldspathic porcelain, as used by Davinci Labs, is perhaps one of the best grades of laminate material for creating or recreating bright and attractive tooth structures for some of the most problematic tooth problems. This type of porcelain is the material of choice for fixing or repairing rotated teeth, crooked smiles, wide gaps, chipped teeth and even stubborn dark tetracycline stained teeth.

These Premium veneer products also provide a skilled dentist the ability to influence certain bite and occlusion issues. The thickness of the porcelain, in the hands of an accomplished dentist, can be used to reshape and reposition lateral and biting surfaces of teeth. The concepts of Instant Orthodontics or Instant Braces refer to this unique characteristic.

Low Prep Veneer - Non Invasive Bonding

Other brands of veneers, such as Lumineers by Cerinate, can provide a makeover experience that requires little or no tooth preparation. The veneer material is ultra thin and very functional. An ideal treatment choice for patients who may have either compromised tooth enamel or sensitive teeth.

There are still other brands and types of porcelain bonding laminates that are more easily affordable than other more nationally known brands.

Depending on what a patient's particular goal is... the selection of which veneer product to use can be a critical element in achieving long term satisfaction with the cosmetic result... and of course, endurance.

Dr. Briglia guides his veneer patients through this learning process.. to assure the best choice of technology that will deliver the cosmetic perfection sought by the patient.

Veneer products that mimic natural tooth appearance and shading understandably require a thicker veneer structure... thereby requiring more invasive treatment of the tooth to accommodate the veneer.

Veneer products that are micro-thin are ideal for preserving tooth structure... but don't offer the shading qualities of the thicker varieties, appearing somewhat opaque. Understandably, they also do not offer the Instant Orthodontic properties that other veneers do.

Best Veneer Benefits

How well a patient benefits from the use of veneer products is determined by the existing tooth structure and oral health habits of each person. Dr. Briglia offers a range of veneer treatments and products (Davinci, Empress, etc) that can achieve practically any Hollywood style effect desired.... or produce a change in orthodontic function and appearance to that can straighten almost any smile
