Cosmetic dentistry is about matching colors and features, harmonious shapes, ratios, proportions and beauty. In short it is about art as well as treatment, and call for the talents of an artist for pleasing results.

  In fact, only a dentist with artistic skills can be a successful cosmetic dentist.
Some of Dr.Jose Emmanuel's work are given on this page.
Along with paintings and portraits, he does terracotta work, wood turning and wood work. Dr.Jose is an accomplished wood turner, specialising in bowls and plates.

Artistic talents are directly reflected in the ceramic work, and this is what makes the difference between ordinary ceramic caps and "live looking" ceramic caps/ veneer

The small translusencies and irregularities that are present in the natural teeth should be duplicated exactly for the ceramic work to take on "life", or vibrancy. Otherwise the color may match, but the work will look "dead" or "plain".

Dr. Jose Emmanuel chose to get himself trained in Dental Ceramic technology because he found that best results for ceramic crowns, veneers, bridges etc are obtained when the doctor himself knows and does the ceramic work.

Color matching and aesthetic shapes come naturally to the experienced, trained persons.
