Lumineers and veneers are paper thin porcelain shields that are bonded to the front of teeth.When you see a perfect smile on TV, it is often porcelain veneers.

Dr. Brand’s office is periodontally oriented. If your teeth have a solid foundation, dentistry willlast for many years. A shaky foundation concerns us. We work very hard to get the tissues andbones to optimum health prior to restorative care.

Dr. Brand does a lot of just plain dentistry in her office. Many patients still have some silverfillings in their mouths, and they will not need to be replaced as long as they remain stable andhealthy. We do lots of implant supported dentures, but we also do just plain dentures. Eachpatient has their own needs and wants, and we do our best to accommodate, and still give highquality care.
