5 steps to natural-looking veneers at the holistic dentist’s office
Trust the beauty, health, safety, and comfort of your porcelain treatment to Owens Dental Berthoud. Here are five ways our biologic/holistic dentistry team supports the most natural-looking results for our patients from across northern Colorado and beyond.
1 – Exacting smile design
As holistic dentistry practitioners, no detail is left unaccounted for when developing treatment plans. Your veneers are precisely customized to blend in beautifully with the rest of your smile and with your unique facial features. Veneers should not be noticeable. They should look like “normal” teeth and complement your skin tone and other personal characteristics.
2 – Advanced diagnostics
State-of-the-art technologies also complement our considerable knowledge and artistry. These imaging systems minimize radiation exposure for the most biological treatment experience possible. They also render very clear and detailed images of your teeth, gums, and other parts of your mouth. We use these images to better understand your needs and to plan your veneers optimally.
3 – High-quality materials
Of course, we only use biocompatible materials. These materials are compatible with biological tissues. They do not cause irritation or present other health risks to neighboring teeth and tissues. Furthermore, quality ceramics like porcelain optimally mimic the properties of natural tooth enamel. They provide natural light reflectivity and translucence. Our materials are also very strong and durable. Your porcelain veneers are designed to last. Unlike natural tooth enamel, however, dental porcelain is highly resistant to stains. With good care, your veneers can continue to “wear well” and to function well for several years.
4 – Exceptional craftsmanship
Holistic practitioners partner with many other professionals in the dental world and with medical professionals in different disciplines to support an integrative care approach. This approach provides continuity of care and promotes effective treatment and sustained health. We surround ourselves with only the most capable and skilled professionals. This notion applies to the lab that we use to make your veneers and other restorations. Once we send information collected via the technologies described above to the lab, we know your veneers will be in good hands. Our lab makes each restoration to your exact specifications and needs.
5 – Precision placement
After your permanent veneers are ready, they are applied and secured to the front surfaces of gapped, unevenly spaced, chipped, deeply discolored, and otherwise “imperfect” teeth. We use premium, biocompatible bonding agents and techniques to assure the strongest fit. Veneers bonded securely to the teeth are incredibly strong. We want you to get the most out of this investment in your smile. By maintaining good oral care at home and visits to Owens Dental Berthoud for professional care, veneers are a terrific value and provide natural enhancement of your smile.

She used to come to Dr. Owens because the level of care and service that I have received here for almost over 10 years has been exceptional. I feel that I’m valued as a patient. You know, you personally feel like it’s a lot of family values, the office makes you feel like you’re in a large city, you feel like you’re in a local dentist office, that we’re not with receptionists but all the dental hygienists knowing my name. They’ve made me feel welcomed and remembered. They always remember my name or something that we talked about the last time I was in. The atmosphere is very relaxed. They make you feel really comfortable, they make you feel like a friend. Everything is always kind of fun here, it’s professional but it’s also fun and very calming. I always feel extremely comfortable here. Fundamentally you forget you’re at the dentist you know everybody they give you a sense that they know you. Always happy to see you and we come in the back for your examination of procedure. They treat you like an individual and it’s always very professional and very relaxed you know, are you okay, can I get you anything. They would ask if you are comfortable, is there anything I can get you. Everyone always asks if you need anything, can I help you with anything, and to me that’s very important. Dr. Owens and his team have explained all the procedures thoroughly to me which is aided in me being very comfortable. I have some unique dental problems and Dr. Owens approached me very cautiously but you know annoyingly about it you know I knew by myself so I really appreciate that and never pushed anything which I thought was very impressive. Everybody knows me and addresses me by name and they make me feel comfortable in the front office they’ve boys taking care of the billing. Everybody is aware of what’s going on and they work well together and always enjoy coming in here.

My smile I wasn’t happy with it. I consider myself an attractive person and I’m a happy person and my smile just didn’t match the inside. I was a little apprehensive. I was kind of always kind of like keeping my lip down. I wasn’t really self-conscious about my smile. It was just not what I wanted it to be so I went on Google and found Dr. Owens and came here and I was very happy I did. A number of people were telling me, especially my wife, that your teeth are kind of crooked and jagged and everything and so at some point a man, maybe they have a point and I should do something. I felt very insecure and not very confident with my smile. I just felt like yellow. I wanted to replace the front four and as long as we were doing it I said I want them to be beautiful -it was time – it was time – it was time to make a change there was no pain involved it was just it was just a really great process for me I it was so smooth and so easy and I would have done this ten years ago if I would have known it was so easy. It’s boosted a lot of confidence that I have and I can’t believe how many compliments I get out of my smiles. It’s just made a whole difference in how I feel when I perform because I feel like my smile is beautiful because when I sing and when I perform that’s what you see is my smile. But my new smile I feel wakes me up from my job. I can just be myself and not cover my smile anymore. I’m always kind of a happy-go-lucky guy so my smile got even better, but mostly because my wife got the feeling that it was much more beautiful, and happy. You know you’re not as much hiding behind you know you’re smiling white and yeah, you’re just happier and more confident I would say. After I had my teeth done, I was on a dating site and after I had my teeth done and I put up new pictures, boy my dating life picked up a ton. So, you know men are all about the smile. It really has just changed not who I am but it’s changed the reflection of who I am which is exactly what I was after. People are, you know, wondering will it really change my life? Will it really make a difference? It made a huge difference for me.
