From Flipper to 7 Veneers and 1 Implant, Beverly Hills

A single missing tooth left this patient with a flipper that never looked right. In this video Dr. Joseph Goodman explains why, and how 7 veneers and 1 implant fixed it, in Beverly Hills. Here was the real problem. A flipper is a removable appliance that fills a gap, held in place with a pink plastic piece against the palate. It works for an emergency, but it is bulky and not very comfortable. In this case it also could not look right, because the gap was wider than a single tooth should be. Any tooth placed there would look too wide next to its neighbors. Dr. Goodman solved the proportion problem across the whole smile. Instead of forcing one oversized tooth into the gap, he placed 7 veneers and 1 implant. The veneers let him make each tooth slightly wider, which let the implant sit narrower, so all eight teeth ended up even and balanced. The result is a symmetric smile with a matched color and equal tooth sizes, and a restoration built to last far longer than a flipper. Dr. Goodman trained in Germany and the United States and has focused on combining implants and veneers for 27 years. Every case is evaluated individually, and results vary from patient to patient.
