Cosmetic dental problems can cause you a great deal of dissatisfaction with they way you look and the way you feel about yourself.

2012-05-23

LAS VEGAS, NV, May 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) Cosmetic dental problems can cause you a great deal of dissatisfaction with they way you look and the way you feel about yourself. Cosmetic dentistry provides an avenue for improving your smile, in a way that is uniquely tailored to your dental problems and smile wishes.

Porcelain veneers provide a way to achieve smile improvement in a relatively short amount of time. Instead of receiving orthodontic treatment for several months or even a couple years, porcelain veneers can create a straight, symmetrical smile within weeks.

Uses of Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers can create a naturally stunning smile. Sometimes called "instant orthodontics," porcelain veneers create the appearance of straight, aligned teeth without the treatment length of orthodontics. If you have severe misalignment or bite issues, you may benefit most from orthodontics. The only way to know if veneers are right for you is to consult an experienced cosmetic dentist.

Veneers are used often to improve the appearance of:

- Chipped teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Cracked teeth
- Gaps between teeth
- Small teeth
- Misshapen teeth
- Uneven tooth length
- Uneven tooth size
- Stained, yellow teeth

If you have any of these dental problems, you should ask your dentist about whether you are a candidate for porcelain veneers.

How do Porcelain Veneers Work?

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain shaped like the surface of a tooth. The veneer is placed over your tooth, concealing any imperfections and creating a new tooth surface.
Typically, the porcelain veneer process consists of:

- Scraping away a thin layer of your enamel to create a rough surface for adhesion.
- Taking a mold of your tooth so the porcelain veneer can be fabricated for your unique tooth.
- Affixing the porcelain veneer to the front surface of your tooth using a special dental adhesive material.

You should have a completed porcelain veneer after just a few visits to the cosmetic dentist.

Porcelain veneers generally last a decade or longer. In some cases, people have their porcelain veneers changed to a brighter color after a teeth whitening (porcelain does not respond to bleaching agents, so if you whiten your teeth, the veneers will remain the same color. For this reason, it is a good idea to receive teeth whitening before porcelain veneers, if you are considering teeth whitening).

Forensics ferret out fire beetle secret

2012-05-23

Criminal cases can often only be solved using forensics to piece together physical evidence and reconstruct what happened. Prof. Dr. Helmut Schmitz from the Institute of Zoology at the University of Bonn and Dr. Herbert Bousack from the Peter Grünberg Institut at the Forschungzentrum Jülich went through the same experience. Prof. Schmitz has been researching fire beetles of the genus Melanophila and their sophisticated IR sensors, which these pyrophilous insects use to detect forest fires, for many years. This is a very special ecological niche. "It allows the beetle larvae ...

Economic power of self-employment felt countywide

2012-05-23

People in rural counties who work for themselves may add a boost to local economies, improving income and job growth, according to economists. The share of self-employed workers in non-metro counties significantly predicted personal income and job growth, as well as declines in family poverty levels, said Stephan Goetz, professor of agricultural economics and regional economics, Penn State, and director of the Northeast Regional Center for Rural Development. "We often look at self-employment as a stopgap measure, something done out of desperation," Goetz said. "But, ...

Carnegie Mellon brain research shows visual perception system unconsciously affects our preferences

2012-05-23

PITTSBURGH—When grabbing a coffee mug out of a cluttered cabinet or choosing a pen to quickly sign a document, what brain processes guide your choices? New research from Carnegie Mellon University's Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition (CNBC) shows that the brain's visual perception system automatically and unconsciously guides decision-making through valence perception. Published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, the review hypothesizes that valence, which can be defined as the positive or negative information automatically perceived in the majority of visual ...

PRK, LASEK, and Epi-LASIK

2012-05-23

PRK, LASEK, and epi-LASIK are all Laser Vision Correction procedures that involve temporarily removing the topmost layer of the eye, called the epithelium. This sheet of cells rests over your cornea and must be removed in order to reshape the cornea using laser energy. Once the laser surgical procedure is complete, the epithelial sheet is usually placed back over the surface of the eye, and a soft "bandage" contact lens is inserted into the eye to help the flap heal. While these three procedures share basic similarities, they differ in a few key ways that are ...

Study shows how to keep a Mars tumbleweed rover moving on rocky terrain

2012-05-23

New research from North Carolina State University shows that a wind-driven "tumbleweed" Mars rover would be capable of moving across rocky Martian terrain – findings that could also help the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) design the best possible vehicle. "There is quite a bit of interest within NASA to pursue the tumbleweed rover design, but one of the questions regarding the concept is how it might perform on the rocky surface of Mars," says Dr. Andre Mazzoleni, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering (MAE) at NC State and ...

New Commercial Driving License Requirements Will Keep Louisiana Roads Safe

2012-05-23

Recent changes to the commercial driver licensing (CDL) requirements issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will better prepare commercial drivers and help keep roads safe for everyone. In 2011, the FMCSA adopted a new commercial learner's permit regulation and toughened requirements for earning a CDL. It also changed the definition of "tank vehicle," which affected the endorsements on some individuals' CDLs. Even though the FMCSA gives states until July 8, 2014, to implement these changes, Louisiana started citing drivers for violations ...

An introduced bird competitor tips the balance against Hawaiian species

2012-05-23

Biologists Leonard Freed and Rebecca Cann from the University of Hawaii at Manoa have been studying birds at Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge for 20 years. Located on an old cattle ranch on the windward slope of Mauna Kea on the Island of Hawaii, it was established in 1985 to protect 8 species of rare and endangered perching birds. The refuge and its volunteers planted over 400,000 seedlings of native koa trees in an abandoned pasture to restore high elevation forest. The once-rare white-eye colonized the restoration area, grew rapidly in it, but then surged into ...
