PRODUCTFOCUSGlamSmile - AUnique VeneerSystem that BenefitsDentists andPatientsA new and exclusive product of Remedent,GlamSmile is the world’s first full-arch minimallyinvasive veneer delivery and placement system.Unlike traditional one-veneer-at-a-time placementmethodology, proprietary GlamSmile technologyfeatures a patent-pending tray delivery systemthat provides the opportunity and the tools forany practitioner to expertly seat 10 beautifulveneers at one time in less than one hourwithout compromising healthy tooth structure.Inventor, Dr Evelyne Jacquemyns, a renowned dental practitioner in Ghent,Belgium created GlamSmile to offer designer smiles to all of her patients, notjust the fortunate few who could afford costly porcelain veneers. A successfulcosmetic dentist for over 25 years, Dr Jacquemyns also wanted to create atime-saving, profit-generating delivery method that was easy to incorporate intoany practice, a non-technique-sensitive veneer placement system that wouldprovide excellent esthetics regardless of the practitioner’s level of skill orexperience.In collaboration with Remedent, Dr Jacquemyns embarked on years of researchculminating in the development of the unique GlamSmile Veneer Delivery Systemutilizing state-of-the-art digital scanning and CAD/CAM technology to produceindividually custom-crafted veneers fitted in a patent-pending tray for a preciselyaccurateplacement of up to 10 veneers simultaneously. Composed of pureporcelain or custom hybrid (composite/porcelain), GlamSmile veneers areextremely strong, yet ultra-thin with an inherent flexibility and luminosity.It is due to this unique tray delivery system that GlamSmile veneers can be placedfar faster and therefore far less expensively than traditional veneers. This presentsan almost unlimited income generating opportunity for practitioners and createsthe first non-invasive, low-cost cosmetic veneer solution for the estimated 50% ofAmericans who are unhappy with their smiles (AACD, 2004).34 Dental Asia • March / April 2008
