Patient demand for optimal esthetics (1) has altered the practice of dentistry and major advances in ceramics have allowed dentistry to satisfactorily meet those expectations (2). The field of removable prosthodontics has also responded to those patient demands and manufacturers of denture teeth have introduced artificial teeth with optimal esthetics in mind. (1) In the 700BC, bone, ivory, pebble, animal or human teeth were the first documented materials used for partial denture construction.

I had a very broad clinical interest. Going back to an undergraduate training at University of Toronto taught me to excel in delivering comprehensive care to my patients.
