Discussions on Hot Cosmetic Dentistry

I just took a course sponsored by my dental lab on CAD/CAM restorations. The course was very instructive and being an older practitioner I was surprised at how advanced we are now in some areas of dentistry.

The problem is that on all of these veneers, the gingival margin is stained dark. It actually looks like someone took a dark pencil and drew a dark line across the cervical. How do I prevent this from happening when I remake these veneers?

I had a very irate patient call me yesterday to complain that I charged her $700 for an in-office tooth bleaching when she could just have easily gone to the local drugstore and bought a bleaching kit for $40 and done the bleaching herself.

I am a general practitioner and when I was in school we learned the ENAP, but now we have the LANAP procedure which is better and faster and with enhanced healing.

Now my patients want posterior teeth restored with composite. They also are asking me about ceramic inlays and onlays, but I have never done one.
