Implant Central Restored
Single centrals can be tough, but throw in the fact that it is an implant, and it can be even more complicated! In my opinion, one of the more difficult things can be the tissue. We are always very careful to discuss with the patient that the tissue may never be symmetrical, or as full…
Should We Stain Molars??
There are a lot of things in dentistry that some like to do, and some do not like to do. Staining upper second molars is definitely one of those situations! I, personally, like to stain molars. I find that it is rewarding and if you do not go overboard, the patients appreciate the…

Digitally Upgraded Veneers
Having completed many one-day cosmetic makeovers for my patients, and having it done to me as well, the one thing I hear more often than not is: “I don’t want to go through the temporary stage.” Like it or not, our patients do not want to have provisionals.
