While the foundation of quality dental care must be based on health and function first, the opportunity to enhance a patient’s smile with cosmetic procedures provides remarkable outcomes. He began providing porcelain veneers, bonding and teeth whitening in the late 1980’s just as these procedures were being proven clinically sound. Today, Dr. LoPrete enjoys seeing many of his earliest cosmetic patients still smiling.
