Porcelain veneers (laminates) 
Porcelain
veneers (also called laminates) can conservatively transform a smile,
providing long-lasting, natural-looking, bright and straight teeth.
Although the concept of "no prep" veneers ("Lumineers") has been widely
publicized, Dr. Alex feels most teeth require some tooth preparation if
the goal is to achieve an optimal physiologic and esthetic
result. In a select number of cases no tooth preparation may be
acceptable. The amout of tooth reduction is very case specific but
significantly less reduction is required compared to full crowns
(caps). Dr.
Alex has placed thousands of porcelain veneers and teaches porcelain
veneer dentistry throughout the United States, Canada, Central and
South America. He can advise you if you are a good candidate for
porcelain veneers.
Routine use of non-metallic, tooth-colored resin and porcelain filling, crowns, and bridgework. One
of the things that separate the average dentist from the excellent
dentist is knowing what restoration is right for each specific clinical
situation and patient. There are literally dozens of different type of crowns and restorative materials to choose from. Dr. Alex has extensive experience working with many different materials and will help you decide what is best for you.
Implants Implants are one of the most exciting treatment modalities ever to emerge from the dental profession. Implants
allow us to restore appearance and function for patients that have lost
teeth. Implants are a very comfortable and conservative way of
replacing missing teeth. They can also be used to secure full dentures. Click this link to FAQ's for more information on Implants. You can also visit the Nobel Biocare site here to learn more about dental implants!
