Dr. Morgan Gwin
Originally from Edmonton, Dr. Morgan Gwin obtained a degree in Mechanical Engineering before completing the DDS program at the University of Alberta in 2015. She spent three years in private practice in the Edmonton area before returning to graduate school at the University of Washington to specialize in Prosthodontics.
The field of Prosthodontics deals with the replacement of missing teeth and oral tissues with the goal of restoring oral form and function so that patients can comfortably and confidently speak, chew, laugh and smile. Prosthodontists have advanced training in smile esthetics, restorative dentistry, dental implants, full arch prostheses (patients may know these as “All on 4” or “fixed complete dentures”), and removable prosthetics (complete and partial dentures). She provides a range of treatments, from the restoration of single teeth to complex, full-mouth rehabilitations that involve teeth, implants, or a combination of both.
What are dental veneers?
Dental veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite material that are placed over the front surface of teeth to improve their appearance. They are often used to fix issues such as discoloration, gaps, chips, and misshapen teeth.
Veneers can provide a number of benefits to dental patients, including a more attractive and natural-looking smile, improved self-confidence, and better overall oral health. They are also a relatively non-invasive option for those who want to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing smile without undergoing extensive dental procedures.
When should you see a prosthodontist for dental veneers?
A prosthodontist should be consulted for dental veneers when an individual is looking to improve the appearance of their teeth, such as covering discoloration, gaps, or irregularly shaped teeth. They can also be used to repair chipped or broken teeth.
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who is trained in the restoration and replacement of teeth, making them the best-qualified professional to assess the suitability of veneers for a patient’s specific needs.
