It wasn't too long ago that Marlene W. achieved her goal of attaining a new smile of glossy white perfection! But, last week, when she walked into our office for the first time, she wasn't happy.

She decided to trade her 20 veneers for a "natural veneer" look. "I realize that slight imperfections give you a better, more realistic, result," Marlene said.

And our doctors could not agree more.

"We keep a book of photos of beautiful models with 'natural' teeth to show our patients the American ideal of a healthy, beautiful smile," says Dr. Daniel J. Deutsch.

Our doctors intentionally design smiles with "imperfections" in mind--variations in color, subtle asymmetries, even teeth that are slightly rotated.

"We aim for a beautiful version of what nature intended, not something that is denture-perfect," says Dr. Deutsch. "Patients should look like they were born with a beautiful smile. That's the ultimate success."

And an ultimate healthy appearance appears to be on the minds of an increasing number of patients like Marlene W. who desire a smile with a natural look. "Now my teeth are not all the same color, and my new veneers are not exactly the same on both sides of my mouth," she says. "I now feel like it looks like nature, not only my doctor, had a hand in creating my smile."
