vm x- t third section 29422006402100 wednesday july 31 1985 unionville dentist leaves em smilin by paula crowell staff reporter although most mothers always insisted that their offspring diligently brush three times a day strong healthy teeth dont always add up to an- attractive smile however a recent de velopment in cosmetic de ntistry using molds and porcelain can turn ugly teeth into a fabulous smile david dudley a unionvil le dentist has been using the veneer technique since last fall he has treated several patients and said that all have been pleased with their veneers we dont have to reduce the tooth the cost is more reasonable and theres no freezing he said compar ing the veneers to capping a technique in which the bad tooth is filed down to a post and a crown is fitted onto it dr dudley said the tech nique is being used more often ive done more in the last month than in the past six or seven months he said nobody is disappointed with the work afterwards he added thats the nice thing shaw laboratories a toronto firm which supplies dental equipment is the sole supplier of chameleon porcelain veneers in cana da the veneers are thin porcelain facings which are cemented onto the fronts of individual teeth to enhance their appearance the process takes two visits to the dentists office during the first appoint ment a soft rubber im pression of the patients teeth are taken this mold is filled with plaster resulting in an exact replica of the teeth liquid porcelain is painted onto the model to improve imperfec tions on the teeth the solu tion is brushed on so lightly that there is almost no no ticeable difference in the thickness of each tooth john williams a technic al consultant at shaw said the veneers are about half the thickness of a dime even dentists have a hard time observing them in place he said his job is to inform de ntists of this relatively new process he has attended 220 operations and holds pp anne before anne after seminar presentations and visits dentists in their offices when the veneers are complete they are fired in annette before annette after much the same way as pot tery or ceramics and are removed from the plaster cast on the patients second visit the facings are cemented onto the front of each tooth with a bond that will withstand up to 2000 pounds of pressure per square inch the process is done with out freezing or drilling the teeth although in some cases the teeth may have to be shaped slightly it takes about an hour to apply two veneers and up tp two hours to have all six visible front teeth restored until this technique came about the best a dentist could do was cap unsightly teeth but a single cap can cost up to 700 porcelain veneers cost between 175 and 200 per tooth mr williams said the ontario dental association has included a suggested price for veneers in next years price schedule he said the price will go up to- about 275 per facing he added that they are stainless easily tolerated by the gums and are more durable than the teeths natural enamel among the conditions im proved by veneers are spaces between teeth un even teeth and even perma nent stains such as those that can be caused by the drug tetracyclin i have a hollywood mouth said melanie scarr one of dr dudleys patients im getting looks from men and women alike ms scarr is an actress and explained that any tiny flaw in her appearance is magnified by television cameras i on tv a little gap looks like a canyon she said admitting that she had nice teeth before laying veneers on her eye teeth in real life it didnt mean a lot but on camera the difference is like night and day ted bonham a unionville resident said the restoration is definitely worth the money he explained that the day he had it done he was out doing the lawn when his wife drove in the driveway she could see the difference from inside the car about 20 feet away he concluded ft the living and dining rooms are combined and ddw smoked
