Everyone deserves a smile that not only looks good, but makes them feel good as well.
Fortunately, we live in an age of advanced technology and knowledge. Dr. Stelmach can create that picture perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of. So, if every time you look in the mirror all you can think about is regret- regret for sliding around on your socks in the kitchen after you Mother told you not to, and then cracking your front tooth, regret for those 3 cups of coffee you require each morning to keep up with your kids and get through your meetings, regret for being born into an otherwise lovely family with a stubborn gap tooth gene- then it’s time to stop regretting and start doing something about it!
Veneers are a terrific way to solve issues like cracked, stained or slightly uneven teeth and unlike braces which can up to a year or more to complete treatment,
Veneers can be created, fitted and applied in a three-step process:
1. Preparation: It’s generally necessary to prepare the teeth by removing a thin layer in order to make for your new porcelain veneers. Although some techniques claim not to need this preparation, be wary. As you can imagine, without making room for a new layer, you could end up with a bulky unnatural-looking result.
2. Preview: After the veneers have been fabricated, Dr. Stelmach will test them on your teeth to check their form and color. You will appreciate his careful attention to detail as he makes final adjustments.
3. Perfection: Once a perfectly beautiful result has been achieved, Dr. Stelmach uses bonding material to carefully apply your new veneers.

Mind the Gap: Special Occasion Smiles
Many people love their smile, gaps and all. Madonna immediately comes to mind. And there's Anna Pacquin, Brendan Fraser and 1980s supermodel Lauren Hutton. But these celebrities also had occasions when they wanted their smile to appear full and complete with no gaps.
So if you sometimes want a unbroken row of white teeth - but don't have the time or interest in permanently closing a gap between your teeth – I can help you out by creating a "special occasion smile."
A removable acrylic overlay is a device I can form from thin acrylic or plastic that will snap into place, cover the space between your teeth, and seamlessly blend in with adjacent teeth. This technique was commonly used before dental bonding was developed, particularly by models, actors. It's an inexpensive alternative that works particularly well if you are being photographed or have a special event coming up.
While the overlay looks attractive from a distance, you do need to keep in mind it is a temporary, short-term appliance with some downsides. The overlay is made of plastic and is kept as thin as possible, but it still adds a bit of bulk to your natural teeth. That same thinness makes it difficult to create a 100% natural look and makes the overlay susceptible to fracture. Overlays can also become discolored and eating with it can be difficult.
The positives are an inexpensive price and a great ability to hide spaces for special occasions. So if you'd like to have a special occasion smile – or if you'd like an easy way to see how you'd look without your gap – contact me and we'll discuss a removable acrylic overlay.
