After much national exposure, Dr. Frank Faunce was asked to lecture at the 1982 ADA Convention in Las Vegas. Dr. Faunce discribed the clinical procedures for the Laminate Veneer (a thin plastic or porcelain shell used to mask chips, gaps, discolorations and other tooth surface imperfections.
He then lectured all over the United States, Europe and Japan.
Since this time, there has been countless research, articles and lectures on this subject throughout the world. The materials used for these restorations have changed over the past 30 years but the principles of the technique have remained the same.
In 1981 we began selling materials appropriate for use with this new technique. Because of the newness of this procedure we began supplying Dental Labs with the necessary materials for bonding these restorations. This evolved into a Mini-Kit that Dental Labs sent out with each case, thus the dentist had the necessary bonding materials when needed. Some labs sent out kits, others individual syringes of materials. Since that early beginning, we have supplied the bonding materials to place hundreds of thousands of laminate veneers, crowns, inlays, onlays and bridges.
In our later years, we have just began selling on-line, these Mini-Kits and individual syringe bonding materials proven successful for use with these type restorations. Materials with limited research background or use are not offered for sale.
