Description

Porcelain Veneers (PLVs) have been the most successful minimally invasive fixed prosthetic treatment in aesthetic dentistry for the past few decades. When designed and delivered correctly, PLVs are the most sparkling, natural-looking man-made (and now digitally designed) form of aesthetic dentistry. This book is written to help the aesthetic dentist treat the unaesthetic alignment, color or shape of teeth - in other words, to enhance the smile while strengthening function and occlusion. The main idea of the book is to provide a guided, predictable treatment using porcelain veneers as a versatile restorative tool. The atypical format and original style of this book encourages the reader to "think like an architect" but "act like a dentist" to achieve ideal results. Instead of immersing the reader in text, this book uses hundreds of before images, many full-page, to guide the reader through each carefully selected "recipe", focusing on both cosmetic dentistry and reconstruction of worn dentition. The accompanying narrative complements the illustrations in a concise manner that provides a clear framework for the practitioner during smile reconstruction. Additionally, this book has the benefit of augmented reality, as videos downloaded via the book app are displayed as the reader browses the pages.
