Forget Perfect

I'm a big believer in the one-off--you know, hair that's not too perfect, or a made-up face with lipstick-free lips. Well, it seems that this theory works for teeth, too. The New York Times reports that dentists and dental ceramicists are being asked to create dental veneers that are slightly stained, a little crooked, or otherwise not perfect (read: realistic). I think it's a great concept--there's nothing scarier than bright white chompers that are all the same size.
