Lowe, DDS  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIn recent years, the public has become considerably more aware ofthe profound transformation in appearance that cosmetic dental treatments provide; in particular, laminate veneers. This newfound awareness is the result of direct marketing to the public through teeth-whitening ads, no-prep veneer ads, and popular TV shows (such as Extreme Makeover).  \nAs awareness and demand grow, there are 2 main reasons that might prevent a patient from accepting cosmetic treatment: cost, and aversion to having natural teeth prepped. The average cost of a single veneer is approximately $ 1,000 and, in most cases, patients require a minimum of 8 to 10 veneers for a pleasing result. With a total fee of approximately $8,000 to $ 10,000, the cost for these services is inconceivable for many patients. It is difficult for them to understand that this cost (for the most part) represents the extensive amount of chair time required for seating and finishing laminate veneers.  \nThere has been a “well kept secret” in dentistry for many years—indirect composite resin laminate veneers—and this “secret” is possibly the single best solution to the challenge we face in patient acceptance. Indirect composite can be used to create a laminate veneer that is ultra thin with an exact finished contour, thereby eliminating burdensome finishing time and decreasing chair time significantly. In addition, these materials and time-saving techniques allow the clinician to pass along savings to the patient. Furthermore, patient concern regarding tooth preparation is assuaged since the nature of indirect composite permits 0.3 mm overall thickness, with a razor thin finish line that virtually eliminates the need to prep and finish. It is amazing that so few dentists currently utilize a dental material that has been tested and proven for more than 2 decades.  \nIn this article, we will discuss techniques using a comprehensive aesthetic restorative concept (Pearlfect Smile [Mizrachi Dental Lab]) that delivers an exquisite and predictable cosmetic result in a fraction of the time that it takes to deliver conventional porcelain veneers.1-5  \nCASE REPORT  \nDiagnosis and Treatment Planning  \nLast year, Dr. Lowe’s youngest daughter  \nBefore Image. A preoperative full-smile view. She exhibits about 5 mm of excessive gingival display due to hypermobility in the upper lip.  \nAfter Image. Caryn’s completed smile (Pearlfect Laminate Veneers [Mizrachi Dental Lab]) . A beautiful aesthetic outcome provided in a noninvasive , economical fashion.  \nChristine was featured in Dentistry Today as our first case in the placement of no-prep porcelain veneers. More than a year later, her case is performing extremely well. Dr. Lowe’s oldest daughter, Caryn, (after seeing what was successfully accomplished with her sister’s smile) wanted to have her teeth done as well. She also had orthodontics as a teenager and had been complaining that her teeth were “too small.” Before Image and Figure 1 show Caryn’s preoperative photos. Her tooth alignment was good, but the maxillary central incisors appeared somewhat dominant because of being positioned slightly facial to the lateral incisors (Figure 2) . There was also some slight surface hypocalcification of the enamel present post-orthodontic treatment. Microabrasion  \nhad been previously performed to help reduce/eliminate some of the “white spot”lesions. Caryn wanted her maxillary teeth tobe more proportional in size and length to her mandibular anterior teeth. Having slightly larger maxillary anterior teeth would help to play down the fact that she presented with a hyper mobile lip and excessive gingival display when smiling broadly.  \nFirst Appointment: Making the Master Impressions  \nCaryn’s first appointment was to take master impressions. A technique was used that allowed for an anesthesia-and retraction-co","cbCaibGRft3ImorO","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibGRft3ImorO","pdf",761812,"English","# Introduction\n## Case Report: Diagnosis and Treatment Planning\n## First Appointment: Making the Master Impressions","[{\"question\":\"Why do some patients avoid cosmetic laminate veneers?\",\"answer\":\"Two main reasons are cited: cost and reluctance to have natural teeth prepared.
