Trends in cosmetic dentistry
There are many new technologies, but one trend I've noticed over twenty years of practice is that all dentistry has really become cosmetic dentistry.

Crowns, onlays and veneers today look like natural teeth, not gold or silver, and tooth colored filling materials look better and last longer than ever.

Other dentists still struggle to replicate nature today despite the many advances. The...
