I love Shawnee Family Dental! When I was a young girl my front adult teeth came in missing enamel. It was fixed briefly in high school but they were always splotchy and never really matched. They recommended 1 veneer and 1 crown it was quite the process. I only have the temporary teeth right now but I LOVE them! I am kicking myself for not doing this sooner! Can't wait to get the permanent crown & veneer and continue showing off my new smile! Thanks Dr. Hurt & Staff!
