A huge congratulations to Dr. Zelen, as she was recently published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry! Dr. Zelen has been working on an article regarding the process of how veneers are prepped and placed on a patient’s tooth. In the article, she dives into the intricate case of a patient who had a worn and discolored composite restoration. Both the patient and Dr. Zelen agreed it would be more esthetically pleasing to place a veneer on the tooth. This type of case is pretty common in modern dentistry, though can be a challenge to make the veneer look undetectable.
The Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry is brought to us through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) which has been dedicated to the art and science of cosmetic dentistry since 1984. Each year the AACD holds a conference, giving hygienists and dentists across the country an opportunity to learn more about how the world of cosmetic dentistry is always changing and advancing. They invite up to 50 speakers, hold up to 25 different lectures, and have 30 or more workshops for everyone to take part in. We are all so thankful to have such a dedicated dentist leading the practice! Next time you stop in, make sure to congratulate Dr. Zelen on her published article!
