Clinical Approach
Dr. Duras prefers minimally invasive solutions. Where the case allows, he uses no-prep veneers that keep the natural tooth structure. His doctoral research on how glass ceramics change color guides his shade matching, so veneers and crowns look natural and match the patient's own teeth. Each treatment plan combines function, long-term durability and aesthetics.
