You Won’t Believe These Smile Makeovers Aren’t Porcelain Veneers!

Written by Ultradent Products Inc. | October 14, 2016

​Everyone deserves a confident, healthy, beautiful smile, and yet many of the solutions to dental esthetic abnormalities can cost patients thousands of dollars. Determined to find a more economical solution to this universal problem, Dr. Sigal Jacobson created the Uveneer™ direct composite template system which allows dentists to give their patients the gorgeous smile they desire at a fraction of the price.

Uveneer™ direct composite template system



Yes, composite veneers have always stood as a more affordable alternative to porcelain veneers, but as Dr. Sigal found—even after taking course after course in free-hand composite veneer training—the results were often unpredictable and the process could be extremely time-consuming. The Uve​neer template system takes all the guesswork out of the process and creates beautiful, predictable, symmetrical and proportional composite veneers every time. The process is also less invasive than porcelain veneers, as it does not require the extensive drilling, prepping, and removal of the patient's dentition that traditional veneers require.

Creating composite veneers using the Uveneer template system simply involves selecting the Uveneer template that matches the tooth size and shape and any composite the clinician prefers. The dentist then places the composite onto the tooth, and presses the template over the composite. Then the dentist cleans off the excess, cures the composite, and voilà—a composite veneer with beautiful, symmetrical contour and finish is born!



 
 

 

 

Uveneer can also be used to create a shade guide from your composites so patients can approve the final shade before the procedure as well.  

 

 

 

Thus, the patient gets the smile they've always dreamed of having without having to drain their pocketbook, and the Uve​n​eer​ template system takes all the guesswork out of creating gorgeous composite veneers. It's a win-win for patients and dentists.

​This patient, who was embarrassed of his teeth and disliked using a removable partial denture, or flipper, had this to say about the restorative work done using Uveneer: "I'm very pleased with the results and can't tell you how much I do not miss wearing a flipper. I'm smiling much wider these days and thankful that a procedure like this can give me (or anyone in this position) some time to figure out the ideal and permanent solution [for] a smile."
