Art of Dentistry, home to Dr. Sol Weiss, cosmetic dentist across North America, is one of Toronto’s providers of general and cosmetic dentistry services tapping more and more into the power of digital technologies to help patients better understand treatments, see potential outcomes before committing to a procedure and overall, make better and more informed decisions regarding their smiles and oral health.
Digital imaging has evolved throughout time and nowadays has the potential to offer high quality images with great accuracy. In the case of porcelain veneers, leveraging this technology allows patients to see a representative model of the result post-treatment.
Digital helps manage patient expectations
Whether a patient is looking to have porcelain veneers to whiten their teeth or have a partial or full orthodontic adjustment, digital imaging enables dental specialists to not only provide a close-to-reality mock-up but also create restorations that match the natural colour and shape of the patient’s teeth. Various types of software can simulate the aesthetic improvement by recreating a 3D image of the patient’s mouth, and then transfer that information to a laboratory.
Cosmetic enhancements have never held so much potential
“Technological advancements are progressing exponentially and they are not only changing the way we live, but also how we provide care. And there is an amazing opportunity we have here across all fields of medicine. In dentistry, particularly cosmetic dentistry and smile design, precision is utterly important. Our patients come to us with all sort of problems they want fixed, whether it’s fixing a cracked tooth or the effects of periodontal disease, or simply wanting to refresh their smile. My process involves a step by step approach to ensure we are aligned and a consensus has been reached. It usually begins with a discussion with the patient around their desired outcomes. It’s not unusual for people to have unattainable goals even from something as flexible as veneers. In those situations, it is our duty to counsel and advice taking into account so many aspects such as the shape of their smile, their personality types, facial expressions and overall oral health and functionality. We find it informed patients are more satisfied with results and digital imaging plays a key role here as well,” explained by a spokesperson.
Porcelain veneers are not for everybody
While porcelain veneers are one of the most popular cosmetic dental procedures, it is important to understand not every patient can be a candidate. The treatment is usually appropriate for people with minor aesthetic imperfections such as stained, chipped or cracked teeth and those who practice good oral hygiene and have enough enamel on their teeth for the veneers to adhere to. However, considering every case is unique, those interested in getting porcelain veneers are encouraged to schedule an appointment and discuss options and potential results via the Art of Dentistry website.
