Porcelain or composite veneers? I was inspired by @sfdentalnerd to bring up the topic. Both are great options to change the shape and esthetics of a small, peg lateral incisor. I personally go back and forth between the two. I like how composite veneers can be done in a single appointment, requires no anesthetic or drilling, can blend really well, is repairable, and can be converted to porcelain veneers at any time. Porcelain, on the either hand, is way more resilient to fra...ctures, staining, dulling down, and can last significantly longer; however, it requires at least two appointments, usually needs a little anesthetic and drilling, is more expensive, and is a little more difficult to shade match single units. This case was done by w/ genial sculpt A1/JE composite. Would love to know your thoughts? @drpareshshah @insta_abdis @sfdentalnerd @jeffdaviesdds @drdanib @drjoshuaghiam @drrudner @drmattasaro @drvictordds @drdavidwagner @lowrinsse @dw4848 @drjenniferhaddad @bryanstimmler @adamoelvis

My guy! Humbled to have @bennycassette come pay us a visit the other day... Can’t believe I have known Benny since I was a young buck trying to freestyle like him. #flossyd #thatdidntlast #illsticktodentistry

Let’s try this again! (Photos didn’t upload properly in the first go-around.. Lol) Skateboarding battle wounds don’t have to be permanent... Luckily we managed to reattach the chipped pieces of tooth back together for the central incisor. The lateral chipped piece is long gone but looks as good as new with a little conservative bonding. Educational tidbit: if you store a broken or chipped tooth in milk or saline, the tooth can generally be saved. #skateboarding #cosmeticdentistry #conservativedentistry #rubberdam #brokentooth #chippedtooth #lovewhatido @ Vicente Dental

0 goals. 0 assists. 0 injuries. It's a win in my book. #ucsd #lacrosse #alumnigame

Cementation of a porcelain onlay using warm, gooey composite (kinda like a porcelain veneer, but for a tooth in the back). #molarlove #gooey #rubberdamology
