Many people who undergo cosmetic dental procedures want to improve the look of their teeth but wish to avoid artificial-looking changes. Dr. Gaertner will ensure that the veneers maintain some of the characteristics of natural teeth, which are not perfectly shaped. Some details in the teeth can be created in the veneers, which include slight color variation, minor differences in the ends of the teeth, and the way they fit into the gum line. Additionally, because some enamel is removed from the natural teeth to prevent a bulky look, and because veneers are shaped from impressions of the patient's own teeth, laminates tend to look very realistic.
