History Of Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers were invented by a California dentist named Charles Pincus in the 1930’s. This was the first type of cosmetic dentistry as we know it today. They were the first type of prostheses used, mainly in the glamorous film industry of Hollywood.
Porcelain Veneers were the first type of prostheses used by cosmetic dentists in the history of modern cosmetic dentistry, which actually beings in the 1930s , and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. Despite the beautiful smiles of the glamorous actors and actresses of the silver screen, if the truth be known, a lot of these so called screen goddesses did not in fact take a great deal of care of their teeth. Apparently many leading men and women were only that, until they opened their mouths or smiled. Only then did they reveal their crooked, broken, stained and rotting teeth.
Charles Pincus pioneered dental veneers by gluing a very thin tooth like piece of porcelain over the actors natural teeth to improve the appearance and so create an illusion of perfect straight white healthy teeth, like modern porcelain veneers. The dental veneers only lasted a short while though, as they were glued on with denture adhesive.
Since 1982, when the American cosmetic dentistry industry took off, literally millions of dental veneers have been placed worldwide.
