In this video, Dr. Jack Booth explains what porcelain veneers are and how they can subtly enhance the appearance of your teeth for a more natural, uniform smile.
A porcelain veneer is a thin porcelain covering that goes on the front surface of your tooth to improve its appearance. We remove a small amount of the natural tooth structure, similar to preparing a partial crown, and then bond the veneer directly to the front of the tooth.
It’s essentially a slim, custom-made porcelain shell that creates a more aesthetic look. Veneers are commonly used to achieve whiter, more uniform, and more symmetrical teeth.

At Big Sky Dentures & Implants, we pay close attention to what happens around your implant, not just the implant itself. Teeth grinding introduces a level of force that can work against the foundation we place. Natural teeth have a slight cushion from surrounding ligaments. A dental implant connects directly to the jawbone. Every clench or grind exerts pressure [...]
A roundhouse bridge falls within the implant denture category, yet it rarely resembles what most people expect a denture to look like. That contrast often creates confusion. If it replaces a full arch of teeth and relies on implants for support, why does it appear so different? The difference reflects a rethinking of what a denture should be. Full-arch [...]
Dental phobia is a strong and persistent fear of dental treatment, the dental office, or the thought of receiving care. For some people, that fear becomes so intense that they avoid appointments even when they know something is wrong.
