The state of the art in esthetic restorative dentistry.
Esthetic restorative procedures are routine in most dental practices. The procedures considered to be standard and acceptable by practitioners are bleaching teeth outside the dental office; bonding; intracoronal direct resin restorations; tooth-colored inlays and onlays; porcelain veneers; all-ceramic crowns; and PFM crowns. Unfortunately, some third-party payment organizations do not pay adequately for numerous esthetic restorative procedures, and continued education of these groups about the reliability of esthetic restorative procedures is necessary.
