One of the most significant breakthroughs in dentistry
has been the new adhesion techniques which permit
dentists to adhere a lab-fabricated 0.5-1.0mm veneer of
porcelain to the front surface of a tooth.
Advantages
of porcelain veneers include:
The
natural tooth structure is maximally preserved.
Permanent
stains such as those caused by antibiotics (namely
tetracycline) can be covered with porcelain veneers.
Individual
teeth of dissimilar color and contour can be
beautifully matched beyond detection.
The
porcelain veneer process actually laminates and
strengthens the tooth with a layer of adhesive and a
layer of porcelain.
Even
fractured and trauma-damaged teeth can now be
restored with porcelain veneer technique.
Mild
crowding can be eliminated in as little as 2
appointments.

One third of the population snores. Chronic
snoring can lead to sleep apnea which restricts the flow
of oxygen to the brain and can lead to serious health
problems; spouses and other family members also suffer
from disrupted sleep cycles. Now a simple
mouthpiece can be used to reduce snoring in many cases.
