DESCRIPTION

Porcelain laminateveneers (PLVs) have been the mostsuccessful minimally invasive indirect prosthodontic application of esthetic dentistry in the last few decades.When designed and delivered properly, PLVs are the most sparkling, natural-looking manmade (and now digitally designed) form of esthetic dentistry. This book was writtento help the esthetic dentist in treating unesthetic alignment, color, shape, or form of the teethin other words, enhancing the smile while enforcingfunction and occlusion. Themain idea is to propose a commonthread around guided, predictable dentistry and the use of veneersas a versatile restoration tool. The atypical format and original style of this book encouragethe reader to think like anarchitect but act like a dentistto achieve ideal results. Rather than bog the readerdown in text, this book uses hundreds of pristine photographs, many full-page, to guidethe reader through each carefully chosen recipe, focusing on both cosmetic dentistry andreconstruction of worn dentitions.The accompanying narrative complements the illustrations ina concise manner that provides a clear framework for the practitioner during reconstruction of the smile.In addition, this book has the benefit of augmented reality, as videos downloaded via the book app are revealedas the reader browses thepages
