For many patients who have discolored, chipped and otherwise unattractive teeth and are seeking a more professional appearance, porcelain veneers may be the best answer.

This gentleman below was a perfect example of someone in that situation, he wanted a nicer smile. After discussing it with him for some time, he decided that he also wanted a more youthful appearance, and chose a whiter porcelain color (“Hollywood white”) and loved it. Also, he wanted a masculine smile, which often means that the teeth are made more square and less rounded than we would typically make for a female.

It is extremely important that the patients become very involved in the color selection to be very satisfied with the ultimate results. In our cosmetic practice we will make suggestions as to what color porcelain veneers will look best in our opinion, but it is the patients who have the final decision. By the way, cosmetic treatment like this patient had only take a few appointments and is much easier than one would ever possibly imagine.
