World Leaders in Esthetic Dentistry
As a leader in modern cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Haber creates IPS Empress ceramic veneers specifically tailored to your individual needs. The minimum preparation thickness is approximately 0.6 - 1 mm depending on the preparation technique chosen. The dimension of the incisal reduction depends on the desired degree of translucency of the incisal area to be restored. The more transparent the incisal edge of the veneer should appear, the more reduction is required. An incisal reduction of at least 1 mm is recommended for optimal results. Discolored teeth may require more extensive reduction to allow for adequate masking and the most beautiful final result.
A smile makeover is a significant decision that requires careful consideration. The simple truth is that quality comes with experience and expertise. Dr. Haber has the cosmetic background and experience to handle large veneer smile makeovers, one of the most challenging dental procedures. Cosmetic dentistry can be beautifully achieved by placing 4, 8, or 10 veneers, often combined with professional teeth bleaching for optimal results.
