>>> THAT'S WHY I NEED SOMETHING MORE PERMANENT.
MORE PERMANENT. IF YOU'VE BEEN HOLDING OFF AN
VENEERS BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT
TO FILE DOWN YOUR REAL TEETH OR
MAYBE IT'S TOO EXPENSIVE, THAT
PROCESS IS MUCH EASIER TODAY
AND IN MOST CASES NO FILING IS
NECESSARY.
NECESSARY. THE TEXAS TOOTH LADY IS HERE
WITH MORE ON VENEERS.
THE WAY THESE VENEERS ARE PUT
ON AND WHAT THEY'RE MADE OF.
>> WHAT WE'RE GOING TO TALK
ABOUT IS LUMINEERS.
THERE IS MINIMAL PREPPING.
>> FILING ALL THE WAY DOWN.
>> WE DON'T DO THAT ANY MORE.
SO BASICALLY I'M GOING TO SHOW
YOU HOW WE PREPARE THE TEETH
MINIMALLY.
MINIMALLY. NOBODY WANTS THEIR TEETH
DRILLED DOWN.
DRILLED DOWN. THEY'RE CONTACT LENS THIN AND
VERY STRONG, VERY DURABLE.
>> ALL RIGHT.
OTHER QUESTION PEOPLE
OFTENTIMES HAVE IS HOW MANY DO
WE NEED?
WE NEED?
WE NEED? TAKE A LOOK AT A VIDEO HERE.
>> WE'LL PRETEND WE'VE DONE A
VENEER HERE AND WE'RE GOING TO
ADD A LITTLE BIT OF MATERIAL ON
TO THE TOOTH TO MAKE IT LOOK
LONGER, BITE DOWN AND SLIDE TO
THE RIGHT.
THE RIGHT. SLOW.
SLOW.
SLOW. SLIDE ALL THE WAY.
KEEP GOING.
KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING.
KEEP GOING. STOP.
STOP.
STOP. SO
STOP. SO BY BUILDING THIS TOOTH, THIS
IS CALLED CUSPID RISE.
IT ALLOWS SPACE HERE SO WE HAVE
ROOM TO LENGTHEN.
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE GOING TO NEED
TO HAVE THESE TEETH INCLUDED
AND WE DON'T WANT TO STOP HERE
BECAUSE THAT'S ALL YOU SEE, WE
WANT TO GO BACK TO YOUR
BICUSPIDS.
BICUSPIDS. >> SO COVERING EVERYTHING.
>> A LOT OF PATIENTS GO HOW
MANY VENEERS DO I NEED?
SOME PATIENTS COME IN AND THEIR
FRONT TEETH ARE CHIPPED.
BECAUSE THOSE TEETH HAVE BEEN
WORN DOWN.
WORN DOWN. THEY GO INTO EXCURSIONS,
THEY'RE HITTING THEIR FRONT
TEETH CAUSING THAT CHIP TO KEEP
REOCCURRING.
REOCCURRING. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT, A LOT OF
TIMES WE'LL DO TWO, FOUR,
EIGHT.
EIGHT.
EIGHT. WE

WE WANT TO BUILD OUT THE
CORRIDOR.

WE TAKE IMPRESSIONS, SEND THEM
TO THE LAB.

EXACTLY.

BEFORE.
BEFORE.
BEFORE. WE SEND THAT TO THE LAB, TAKE
STUDY MODELS.
STUDY MODELS. THEY WILL DO A WAX UP.
THAT IS A WAX UP OF WHAT THEIR
VENEERS WILL LOOK LIKE.
WE HAVE TEMPORARIES WE MAKE.
THE PATIENT WEARS A TRIAL SMILE
AND THEY CAN DETERMINE WHAT WE
NEED TO DO TO ADJUST IT THIS
SHOWS YOU WHERE WE PREPARE.
I CALL IT BY NUMBER.
WE KNOW EXACTLY WHERE WE NEED
TO REDUCE THE TOOTH STRUCTURE
SO WE GET THE BEST RESULTS.

ALL THE WAY DOWN LIKE YOU USED
TO.

THE EDGES THE TOOTH IS SORT OF
HAPPENING PAST.
HAPPENING PAST. THAT'S ALL THAT WE REDUCE WITH
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. THIS SHOWS US WHERE WE ADJUST
ON THE OUTSIDE SURFACE OF THE
TOOTH.
TOOTH.
TOOTH. THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT. YOU'LL SEE WHAT THE PREPARED
TEETH LOOK LIKE, WHICH IS
MINIMAL.
MINIMAL.
MINIMAL. THIS WAS DONE WITHOUT
ANESTHESIA.
ANESTHESIA. >> THAT MEANS BECAUSE YOU DON'T
NEED IT.
NEED IT.
NEED IT. >> THEN YOU DO A TRIAL SMILE OF
WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE.
>> THAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
PART.
PART.
PART. THE
PART. THE PATIENT CAN WEAR THEIR
TEMPORARIES AND SAY LISTEN, I
WANT THIS TOOTH LONGER.
THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEIR
TEETH ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE.

ONE OF YOUR PATIENTS GOT
EXCITED.
