the best porcelain veneers

by petrab1971 at Citysearch

I usually don't like to review anyone, but this time I am blown away. Here is my story: So I had veneers my whole life due to an accident. They last about 5 years because I am never happy with them. All the dentists who did them very always nice and sweet but in the end, the result was always ok. I never knew what is missing so I accepted my "next 5 year look". So then a friend recommended I visit this office: He was well prepared since I told the staff in advance I was interested in a veneer consultation. So he was showing me some pictures and explaining me all the details about how to make them natural looking, with translucency and so on but he was the only one who pointed out that my last veneers were to square and needed to be shaped more feminine. Then he told me that my gum level is uneven and recommended to laser my gum, so they look even. My teeth always looked different in size because the gum was uneven in height after he accident. So agreed to change the design to his vision and just told him, make sure nobody can tell I have anything else but my own teeth. Fast Forward. On the seat day I was presented with these veneers on a tray and from the beginning I could tell they were done differently: thinner, more delicate, more detail and just amazingly real looking. To make a long story short, when I visited my parents the following week-end, they immediately noticed that these veneers had much more detail and character. We absolutely love them and now even my parents are considering getting veneers done. How funny would that be?…

Insurance does not pay for that kind of service but the results are dramatic and worth any money.

Thank you and the entire staff for making me feel comfortable and good about myself again.

Great experience and great office

What to write about my favorite dental office : passionate and caring, knowledgeable and detail oriented. Got my veneers and crowns done and did quite some research about all choices before I went. My old ones were over 10 years old and I needed a little help to rejuvenate them.

Love them. Look great and feel very natural. In the beginning I experienced some sensitivity on chewing but I was told to wait 2 days so things can settle down a bit, and so it was. I could not been happier to get my veneers done and if you need just a good cleaning, the hygienist is superb.

My only disappointment was that my insurance did not cover the veneers. only the one crown. I have a insurance which has a limit of $ 1500 per year. I was told I can use the insurance towards my night guard, my filings and exam and x rays. not the veneers. Sorry. But if I needed them to get redone again in 15 years , then they will pay for the replacement.. go figure.

Healthy Teeth!

by IslandLove at Citysearch

I have been going to Dr. Goodman for about 4 months and have been in his office a lot in that short time for various procedures from bonding to fillings to cleaning. The staff is super nice and attentive. Erica at the front reception is such a sweetheart and is very helpful. Dr. Goodman and his assistants always provide me with a great experience which is a tough thing to say when it comes to dentistry with it's drilling, scraping, filing, etc. My teeth are healthy and oooooh so pretty!!!

• Pros: nice office, great staff
• Cons: none
