PORCELAIN LAMINATES The Chinese used porcelain for

vases, but now we're using porcelain laminates to build smiles. These lami- nates are small shields that fit over your teeth like false fingernails fit on fingers. If you have wide gaps between your teeth or if your teeth are permanently stained, you may want to consider por- celain laminates, which can be shaped to match your own personal smile.

The procedure is surprisingly straight-forward. We'll prepare the teeth, make an impression of them, choose the right color or shade, and bond the lami- nate shields in place. Usually, the only tooth preparation necessary is to make

the needed contour adjustment and shape the porcelain shields once they are bonded.

The results are amazing and we know you'll be delighted with your new smile. Porcelain is strong and durable and resists chipping, staining, and crack- ing. However, the process works best for people who have excellent oral hygiene, and that is a prerequisite for this treat- ment.

Presented as a public service to pro- mote better dental health. From the of- fice o/JOHN B. MYRES, D.D.S., 700 S. McCarty, Eagle Lake, 234-3525.
