the ultimate in cosmetic dentistry

Dr. Raymond E. LaVigne practices dentistry in Palatine, Illinois. His specialties are cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and patient education. This article acknowledges the cosmetic aspect of restorations, i.e. matching crowns and veneers with your natural teeth.

Matching one restoration (crown or veneer) to natural enamel when the tooth being restored or replaced is right at the front of the mouth: You will need to look very closely to tell the tooth with porcelain from the others. From a distance of 12 inches or more, the restored tooth and other natural teeth are indistinguishable.

When there is decay or traumatic damage to only one tooth, we will always try to be as conservative as possible.

When this is not entirely feasible, one or more of the adjacent teeth may have to be restored as well in order to obtain the finest shade and shape match.

When patients have several teeth with decay, fractures, color or alignment problems, then of course we will will have to restore the entire group.
Thank you for reading,
Dr. Ray
