Help! I broke a veneer and I am going out of town!

I got a call last night from a new patient in a panic. She was just playing with her dog and it jumped up on her – the dog’s head hitting her front teeth. Low and behold one of her porcelain veneers chipped. To make matters worse, she was heading out of town this week on an important business trip.
With her regular dentist being out of town, she turned to me for help. Fortunately, we begin seeing patients at 7 a.m. on Tuesdays, so I scheduled her for an early appointment this morning, allowing us to immediately assess the damage.
The bad news was that the veneer had to be replaced. The damage was beyond the point where we could just smooth it out. The good news was that with the technology we possess, we were able to create the new veneer for her in 90 minutes. By balancing artistry with technology, the new veneer is a beautiful color match to her existing veneers.
