Benefits of a Smile Makeover:
Upper front teeth are too short. They may not show during normal conversation and can thus make a person look older. Porcelain veneers can correct this by making the teeth longer so that they show under normal function.
Teeth are too dark. Brightening the smile by placing porcelain veneers that are brighter, whiter and contrast skin tones. Choosing natural-looking veneers is always a top priority.
Upper front teeth are set too far back in the mouth appear like they are in the shadows. A smile makeover can bring those teeth forward using porcelain veneers, which will make them more visible and attractive.
Lips may not be full if they lack support from the teeth. Teeth that are set back too far in the mouth or angled back will not provide adequate lip support. Properly designed and constructed porcelain veneers can essentially bring the teeth further forward to create a more optimal lip appearance.
Too much gums show when you smile. Correcting a “gummy” smile can be done by easily and painlessly removing excess gum tissue so that the full length of the upper front teeth can be enhanced.
The upper front teeth should be angled slightly forward. If an upper front tooth is angled back it will not reflect light properly, it will not support the lips properly and the upper front teeth will not show the way they should. Refer to Dr. Perkins’ blog to learn more, “What Makes a Smile Extraordinary”.
A fuller smile can be created using porcelain veneers in cases where the upper teeth fail to fill up the “frame” made by the lips.
With porcelain veneers done at our office, you should expect that these veneers will not come off. In fact, they will last indefinitely and will not chip or break unless you are a severe bruxer and grinder who does not wear the fabricated night-guard as instructed. Porcelain materials used today are extremely strong and if placed in the proper bite relationship, they should function beautifully and permanently. No dentist can insure that anything will last “forever,” but in 25 years of performing smile makeovers, Dr. Perkins has never had to redo porcelain veneers.

The Process of Establishing the perfect smile
STEP #1
BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND
On the FIRST visit, we typically try and mimic the “dream” smile that we are trying to create, albeit in a more preliminary form. We typically take tooth colored acrylic and place it on the patient’s upper front (and side teeth) so as to mimic the length, position (front to back), fullness, etc.
The acrylic is placed on the existing teeth using non-invasive techniques. We refine according to the patients requests in order to make a template (stent), which allows us to make extremely esthetic temporary restorations (on the very next visit) that the patient will wear for approximately 2 weeks.
STEP #2
KEEP AS MUCH ORIGINAL TOOTH STRUCTURE AS POSSIBLE
Conservative changes are made to the patient’s existing teeth and old restorations may be removed so that we can have the space necessary to place the new porcelain restorations to specifications. At the patients request, we can remove little or all of the existing tooth structure that would likely compromise our ability to make the desired changes.
Impressions are taken and the temporaries are placed using the “stent” that was fabricated during visit #1. Temporaries are then refined and polished. During the next two week period, the patient will have an un-rushed opportunity to determine if all of their criteria and goals have been met. If not, we be able to make the changes desired until the patient is completely satisfied.
STEP #3
TOTAL SATISFACTION, FIRST
Remove temporaries and place each porcelain restoration into position to make certain that they look exactly like the temps (only in porcelain). If the final restorations are not exactly like the temporaries, then we will send them back to the lab for correction.
We will not bond the restorations in without the patient’s total satisfaction. When bonding the porcelain restorations in place, we use the most advanced bonding materials and protocol available, which is remarkably strong. Now, it’s time to relax and enjoy your new, perfect smile!

I am a very anxious nervous dental patient. From the moment I called to the moment I had dental work i felt comfortable and in a safe environment. I had two Extensive extractions and I never felt any pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Perkins to my friends and family.

I had a great experience with Dr Perkins!! I had multiple fillings that needed to be done, not only did he do them all with absolutely no pain but he was also able to save my tooth that had a lot of decay.

Dr Perkins is amazing! He took his time to explain everything and personally texted me same day to see how I was feeling after the treatment. Also when I needed to revisit for him to adjust, he was so patient, calm and accommodating. I drive an hour just to see him and it’s worth every minute.

SIX Secrets
to Getting Veneers You Won't Regret
SECRET #1
Translucency is key
Teeth are like glass, with a translucent quality that makes them look natural. Many veneers I see look opaque and that is one of the biggest tip offs that the teeth look fake and not like natural teeth. Make sure your veneers have this same translucent property, rather than appearing opaque.
SECRET #2
Length matters
Everyone’s teeth show when they smile but to make teeth really look their best they must show to someone when you are talking. When you speak, your upper front teeth should be visible - not the tongue or an unflattering dark hole. This creates a youthful, healthy appearance and helps your teeth look their best.
SECRET #3
NOT JUST THE "WHITEST" shade
Pick a shade that is age appropriate and in sync with the tones of the skin. A patient is entitled to ask for the “whitest shade” if they want but successful veneers (to me) are ones where a person won’t even know they are veneers. If you do them well a friend or family member may not even know you just got veneers but instead they will just notice that you “look better”. You don’t want your veneers to scream.
SECRET #4
Bite Alignment
To ensure that your veneers last a lifetime, make sure to eliminate any unwanted forces on them. This includes understanding the proper bite and protecting your teeth from grinding at night. Most dentists aren't trained to do this. Almost none do it effectively and non-invasively.
SECRET #5
UNIQUE TO YOU
A shape and contour of a tooth for an 22 year old woman will not be the same shape and contour as for a 46 year old man. The face, lips, gender, and body size may all influence the contour and shape of the teeth. Beautiful veneers should be designed to fir your unique needs.
SECRET #6
TEMPORARIES FIRST
Use temporaries to get a model of the veneers you want, and make sure you can satisfy the patient before moving on to the final porcelain veneers. The temporary process allows the lab to know exactly what you want with each and every case. Every case is unique, so trust a specialist who will take the time to get it right. This is the only way to ensure you get veneers you won't regret.
