(BPT) – The saying goes: success is when preparation meets opportunity. As technology continues to affect our lives, workers in today's ever-changing labor market need to be prepared with skills to adapt and succeed in the workplace.
Job opportunities in technology are growing up to three times faster than other career fields in the U.S. Long gone are the days of a linear education and career trajectory as technology continues to reshape the world's workplace landscapes. Nowadays, the career paths of most individuals resemble a scaffold rather than a conservative straight line.
Changes in the education and workplace landscape not only impact job seekers, but educators and employers as well. It's estimated that by 2025, we could have 20 million jobs without enough qualified people to fill them, according to a report by Georgetown University.
Daniel Burrus, a globally renowned corporate strategist and author of six books including The New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller "Flash Foresight," recently released his inaugural Certainties list, based on a scientific method aimed at providing various employment sectors with a clearer outlook of their respective futures. As a strategist, he advises a wide range of Fortune 500 firms to develop projections by analyzing trends.
Burrus' list of Certainties, which highlights 12 technologies that will continue to transform present and future careers, uses his proprietary scientific method of separating "Hard Trends" – trends that will happen – from "Soft Trends" – trends that might happen.
Over the past five years, Burrus has collected Certainties from thousands of senior executives from every industry around the world, providing a clear picture of the direction different sectors are heading.
"The goal is to give people a road map regarding how technology will transform their careers and how to ensure they're not caught in disappearing careers, but rather preparing and positioning themselves for the predictable changes in their current fields as well as emerging careers with real, long-term demand," says Burrus.
According to Burrus' Certainties list, some of the technologies that will transform our world and careers include:
3-D Web and 3-D printing
Employment for graphic artists, designers and programmers will grow as the Web-surfing experience transforms from a one-dimensional "flat" page to a dynamic 3-D experience for the user.
Additionally, the manufacturing industry will be revolutionized by 3-D printing, which will allow any size company to manufacture goods quickly, locally and at lower cost.
Gamification of education
Both employees and students will have training and teaching methods delivered to them in a highly-personalized and accelerated way, through the use of simulations and skill-based learning systems transmitted through smartphones and tablets.
Cloud services and virtualization
As more organizations maintain and store information using cloud computing, the demand for professionals skilled in information technology is expected to rise. Employees who can safeguard important company and client data will be vital to business success.
In order to meet the anticipated demands of the 21st century, individuals must reassess their skills to make certain they are equipped with the necessary knowledge to remain relevant in their field.
Burrus recently teamed with DeVry University to launch his Certainties list. He believes the institution exemplifies the kind of forward-looking curriculum development necessary to ensure degree programs adequately prepare students for the future.
"DeVry University is committed to effectively aligning our students' academic experience with the plausible future demands of the industries in which they seek successful careers," says David Pauldine, president of DeVry University. "As a university, we are continuously interfacing with Fortune 100 companies to ensure our educational programs prepare our graduates for current and emerging job opportunities."
Burrus urges employers, employees and educators alike to give serious consideration to these career-transforming Certainties so that the American worker is better positioned for careers of the 21st century.

Types of prints available from the Studios
Lustre prints are printed on professional lustre paper using calibrated presses, and Mounted Lustre prints are the same printing method and image quality, and they also include mounting to sturdy gator board, coating with a protective UV-resistant finish, and can be placed directly into a frame without needing glass or matting. Metallic paper prints have a more vibrant and glossy finish than lustre prints. Mounted metallic paper prints have the metal finish and all of the extras offered with the Mounted lustre print option. Brushed metal is printed directly into the surface of an aluminum sheet. This makes the metal print very sturdy and largely resistant to scratches, marks, or fading. All regular Black and White images are available as Brushed Metal prints. Pearled metal prints are the same as the brushed metal, except the aluminum has a white "pearled" coating that keeps the color of the image closer to the original photograph. All regular color photos from the Studios are available in the pearled finish. Direct-on-metal prints (either brushed or pearled) are the preferred mounting method for photographs hanging in museums, and all Studios direct-to-metal prints come with a free french cleat for easy wall installation. Poster prints are large poster versions done on a matte Epson paper, which creates a less reflective finish and allows for larger sizes than the metal prints or other finishes. Canvas Giclées are specially coated and treated canvas prints that use the same process the Studios offers on its top line of fine art oil painting reproductions. Smaller canvas sizes come premounted to sturday gator board and are ready for framing. Larger sizes ship unmounted and can be mounted by most framers to gator board or canvas stretcher bars, depnding on size and framing needs. Cropped Prints are cropped and aligned by the photographer to best fit the print size ordered.

History of Educational Technology
9 min readThere is no written evidence which can tell us exactly who has coined the phrase educational technology. Different educationists, scientists and philosophers at different time intervals have put forwarded different definitions of Educational Technology. Educational technology is a multifaceted and integrated process involving people, procedure, ideas, devices, and organization, where technology from different fields of science is borrowed as per the need and requirement of education for implementing, evaluating, and managing solutions to those problems involved in all aspects of human learning.
Educational technology, broadly speaking, has passed through five stages.
The first stage of educational technology is coupled with the use of aids like charts, maps, symbols, models, specimens and concrete materials. The term educational technology was used as synonyms to audio-visual aids.
The second stage of educational technology is associated with the 'electronic revolution' with the introduction and establishment of sophisticated hardware and software. Use of various audio-visual aids like projector, magic lanterns, tape-recorder, radio and television brought a revolutionary change in the educational scenario. Accordingly, educational technology concept was taken in terms of these sophisticated instruments and equipments for effective presentation of instructional materials.
The third stage of educational technology is linked with the development of mass media which in turn led to 'communication revolution' for instructional purposes. Computer-assisted Instruction (CAI) used for education since 1950s also became popular during this era.
The fourth stage of educational technology is discernible by the individualized process of instruction. The invention of programmed learning and programmed instruction provided a new dimension to educational technology. A system of self-learning based on self-instructional materials and teaching machines emerged.
The latest concept of educational technology is influenced by the concept of system engineering or system approach which focuses on language laboratories, teaching machines, programmed instruction, multimedia technologies and the use of the computer in instruction. According to it, educational technology is a systematic way of designing, carrying out and evaluating the total process of teaching and learning in terms of specific objectives based on research.
Educational technology during the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age
Educational technology, despite the uncertainty of the origin of the term, can be traced back to the time of the three-age system periodization of human prehistory; namely the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age.
Duringthe Stone Age, ignition of fire by rubbing stones, manufacture of various handmade weapon and utensils from stones and clothing practice were some of the simple technological developments of utmost importance. A fraction of Stone Age people developed ocean-worthy outrigger canoe ship technology to migrate from one place to another across the Ocean, by which they developed their first informal education of knowledge of the ocean currents, weather conditions, sailing practice, astronavigation, and star maps. During the later Stone Age period (Neolithic period),for agricultural practice, polished stone tools were made from a variety of hard rocks largely by digging underground tunnels, which can be considered as the first steps in mining technology. The polished axes were so effective that even after appearance of bronze and iron; people used it for clearing forest and the establishment of crop farming.
Although Stone Age cultures left no written records, but archaeological evidences proved their shift from nomadic life to agricultural settlement. Ancient tools conserved in different museums, cave paintings like Altamira Cave in Spain, and other prehistoric art, such as the Venus of Willendorf, Mother Goddess from Laussel, France etc. are some of the evidences in favour of their cultures.
Neolithic Revolution of Stone Age resulted into the appearance of Bronze Age with development of agriculture, animal domestication, and the adoption of permanent settlements. For these practices Bronze Age people further developed metal smelting, with copper and later bronze, an alloy of tin and copper, being the materials of their choice.
The Iron Age people replaced bronze and developed the knowledge of iron smelting technology to lower the cost of living since iron utensils were stronger and cheaper than bronze equivalents. In many Eurasian cultures, the Iron Age was the last period before the development of written scripts.
Educational technology during the period of Ancient civilizations
According to Paul Saettler, 2004, Educational technology can be traced back to the time when tribal priests systematized bodies of knowledge and ancient cultures invented pictographs or sign writing to record and transmit information. In every stage of human civilization, one can find an instructional technique or set of procedures intended to implement a particular culture which were also supported by number of investigations and evidences. The more advanced the culture, the more complex became the technology of instruction designed to reflect particular ways of individual and social behaviour intended to run an educated society. Over centuries, each significant shift in educational values, goals or objectives led to diverse technologies of instruction.
The greatest advances in technology and engineering came with the rise of the ancient civilizations. These advances stimulated and educated other societies in the world to adopt new ways of living and governance.
The Indus Valley Civilization was an early Bronze Age civilization which was located in the northwestern region of the Indian Subcontinent. The civilization was primarily flourished around the Indus River basin of the Indus and the Punjab region, extending upto the Ghaggar-Hakra River valley and the Ganges-Yamuna Doab, (most of the part is under today's Pakistan and the western states of modern-day India as well as some part of the civilization extending upto southeastern Afghanistan, and the easternmost part of Balochistan, Iran).
There is a long term controversy to be sure about the language that the Harappan people spoke. It is assumed that their writing was at least seems to be or a pictographic script. The script appears to have had about 400 basic signs, with lots of variations. People write their script with the direction generally from right to left. Most of the writing was found on seals and sealings which were probably used in trade and official & administrative work.
Harappan people had the knowledge of the measuring tools of length, mass, and time. They were the first in the world to develop a system of uniform weights and measures.
In a study carried out by P. N. Rao et al. in 2009, published in Science, computer scientists found that the Indus script's pattern is closer to that of spoken words, which supported the proposed hypothesis that it codes for an as-yet-unknown language.
According to the Chinese Civilization, some of the major techno-offerings from China include paper, early seismological detectors, toilet paper, matches, iron plough, the multi-tube seed drill, the suspension bridge, the wheelbarrow, the parachute, natural gas as fuel, the magnetic compass, the raised-relief map, the blast furnace, the propeller, the crossbow, the South Pointing Chariot, and gun powder. With the invent of paper they have given their first step towards developments of educational technology by further culturing different handmade products of paper as means of visual aids.
Ancient Egyptian language was at one point one of the longest surviving and used languages in the world. Their script was made up of pictures of the real things like birds, animals, different tools, etc. These pictures are popularly called hieroglyph. Their language was made up of above 500 hieroglyphs which are known as hieroglyphics. On the stone monuments or tombs which were discovered and rescued latter on provides the evidence of existence of many forms of artistic hieroglyphics in ancient Egypt.
Educational technology during Medieval and Modern Period
Paper and the pulp papermaking process which was developed in China during the early 2nd century AD, was carried to the Middle East and was spread to Mediterranean by the Muslim conquests. Evidences support that a paper mill was also established in Sicily in the 12th century. The discovery of spinning wheel increased the productivity of thread making process to a great extent and when Lynn White added the spinning wheel with increasing supply of rags, this led to the production of cheap paper, which was a prime factor in the development of printing technology.
The invention of the printing press was taken place in approximately 1450 AD, by Johannes Gutenburg, a German inventor. The invention of printing press was a prime developmental factor in the history of educational technology to convey the instruction as per the need of the complex and advanced-technology cultured society.
In the pre-industrial phases, while industry was simply the handwork at artisan level, the instructional processes were relied heavily upon simple things like the slate, the horn book, the blackboard, and chalk. It was limited to a single text book with a few illustrations. Educational technology was considered synonymous to simple aids like charts and pictures.
The year 1873 may be considered a landmark in the early history of technology of education or audio-visual education. An exhibition was held in Vienna at international level in which an American school won the admiration of the educators for the exhibition of maps, charts, textbooks and other equipments.
Maria Montessori (1870-1952), internationally renowned child educator and the originator of Montessori Method exerted a dynamic impact on educational technology through her development of graded materials designed to provide for the proper sequencing of subject matter for each individual learner. Modern educational technology suggests many extension of Montessori's idea of prepared child centered environment.
In1833, Charles Babbage's design of a general purpose computing device laid the foundation of the modern computer and in 1943, the first computing machine as per hi design was constructed by International Business Machines Corporation in USA. The Computer Assisted instruction (CAI) in which the computer functions essentially as a tutor as well as the Talking Type writer was developed by O.K. Moore in 1966. Since 1974, computers are interestingly used in education in schools, colleges and universities.
In the beginning of the 19th century, there were noteworthy changes in the field of education. British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), right from its start of school broadcasts in 1920 had maintained rapid pace in making sound contribution to formal education. In the USA, by 1952, 20 states had the provision for educational broadcasting. Parallel to this time about 98% of the schools in United Kingdom were equipped with radios and there were regular daily programmes.
Sidney L. Pressey, a psychologist of Ohio state university developed a self-teaching machine called 'Drum Tutor' in 1920. Professor Skinner, however, in his famous article 'Science of Learning and art of Teaching' published in 1945 pleaded for the application of the knowledge derived from behavioral psychology to classroom procedures and suggested automated teaching devices as means of doing so.
Although the first practical use of Regular television broadcasts was in Germany in 1929 and in 1936 the Olympic Games in Berlin were broadcasted through television stations in Berlin, Open circuit television began to be used primarily for broadcasting programmes for entertainment in 1950. Since 1960, television is used for educational purposes.
In 1950, Brynmor, in England, used educational technological steps for the first time. It is to be cared that in 1960, as a result of industrial revolution in America and Russia, other countries also started progressing in the filed of educational technology. In this way, the beginning of educational technology took place in 1960 from America and Russia and now it has reached England, Europe and India.
During the time of around 1950s, new technocracy was turning it attraction to educations when there was a steep shortage of teachers in America and therefore an urgent need of educational technology was felt. Dr. Alvin C. Eurich and a little later his associate, Dr. Alexander J. Stoddard introduced mass production technology in America.
Team teaching had its origin in America in the mid of 1950's and was first started in the year 1955 at Harvard University as a part of internship plan.
In the year 1956, Benjamin Bloom from USA introduced the taxonomy of educational objectives through his publication, "The Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, The Classification of Educational Goals, Handbook I: Cognitive Domain".
In 1961, Micro teaching technique was first adopted by Dwight W. Allen and his co-workers at Stanford University in USA.
Electronics is the main technology being developed in the beginning of 21st century. Broadband Internet access became popular and occupied almost all the important offices and educational places and even in common places in developed countries with the advantage of connecting home computers with music libraries and mobile phones.
Today's classroom is more likely to be a technology lab, a room with rows of students using internet connected or Wi-Fi enabled laptops, palmtops, notepad, or perhaps students are attending a video conferencing or virtual classroom or may have been listening to a podcast or taking in a video lecture. Rapid technological changes in the field of educational have created new ways to teach and to learn. Technological changes also motivated the teachers to access a variety of information on a global scale via the Internet, to enhance their lessons as well as to make them competent professional in their area of concern. At the same time, students can utilize vast resources of the Internet to enrich their learning experience to cope up with changing trend of the society. Now a days students as well teachers are attending seminars, conferences, workshops at national and international level by using the multimedia techno-resources like PowerPoint and even they pursue a variety of important courses of their choice in distance mode via online learning ways. Online learning facility has opened infinite number of doors of opportunities for today's learner to make their life happier than ever before.

Rapid influenza diagnostic test, RIDT
This test quickly checks for signs of the influenza viruses A and B in a sample of secretions from your nose or throat.
The flu (influenza) is an illness of the respiratory system. Influenza A is more common than influenza B. It spreads easily through water droplets in the air from coughs or sneezes of people who are infected. It often affects many people at the same time during fall and winter.
Symptoms of the flu often show up suddenly. This is about 1 to 4 days after you are infected. Most people will get better within a few days to less than 2 weeks. But those with a weakened immune system may get severe pneumonia or other serious problems.
Your healthcare provider can test for the flu in several ways. The rapid influenza antigen test usually gives results quickly. Immunofluorescence is another test that may be used. This test uses a staining technique. Results from these tests are not as accurate as viral cultures. But these tests are faster and easier and are commonly used for the first screening.
You don't always need an influenza test for your provider to diagnose the flu. Healthcare providers may make the diagnosis and begin treatment based on your symptoms and a physical exam.
You may need this test if you have symptoms of the flu to find out whether you have it. Symptoms of the flu include:
Muscle aches
Weakness or tiredness
Runny or stuffy nose
Pain around your eyes or blurred vision
Vomiting or diarrhea
Even if you don't have symptoms, you may need this test during flu season or an influenza outbreak if you:
Were discharged from a hospital and got a sudden fever or respiratory illness
Are in the hospital and have a fever or respiratory illness
You may also need other tests. These include an immunofluorescence antibody test, viral culture, or reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction test for influenza DNA. Testing for influenza antigens is considered a screening test. Your healthcare provider may use more accurate tests if they think the diagnosis needs to be confirmed.
Test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, and other things. Your test results may be different depending on the lab used. They may not mean you have a problem. Ask your healthcare provider what your test results mean for you.
A negative result means that no signs of the virus were found and that you may not have the flu. The results of this test should be interpreted with caution because rapid influenza antigen tests may have a significant number of false-negative results. This means that you may have the flu even if your results were negative.
A positive result means that signs of the virus were found and that you may have the flu, especially if other cases of the flu have been reported in your area at the time you are tested.
It's possible to get a false-positive result, meaning that you aren't really infected. You may need more tests to confirm this. Your healthcare provider may also treat you even if you have a negative test result.
This test requires a sample of mucus or other secretions from your nose or throat. Your healthcare provider will use a sterile swab to collect the sample.
Another way of taking a sample requires a nasopharyngeal aspirate (NPA). In this procedure, a healthcare provider will inject saline solution into your nose and then collect the sample.
You may feel discomfort or gagging when your throat or nasal cavity is swabbed. Collecting an NPA may also be uncomfortable.
If you have another respiratory infection, you may get a false-positive result.
You don't need to prepare for this test. Be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illegal drugs you may use.

Americans are boarding public buses, trains and subways in greater numbers than any time since the suburbs began booming.
Nearly 10.7 billion trips in 2013, to be precise the highest total since 1956, according to ridership data reported by transit systems nationally and released Monday by the American Public Transportation Association.
APTA notes that nationally, commuter rail ridership increased by 2.1 percent in 2013. Leading the increase, with a new rail line that opened in December 2012, commuter rail in Utah saw a 103.3 percent jump in ridership, APTA reported.
The report also notes TRAX ridership in Salt Lake City increased 6.8 percent.
APTA reported that nationally, transit ridership has now fully recovered from a dip caused by the Great Recession. With services restored following economy-driven cutbacks, ridership numbers appear set to continue what had been a steady increase.
"People are making a fundamental shift to having options" aside from a car in how they get around, said Michael Melaniphy, president and CEO of the public transportation association. "This is a long-term trend. This isn't just a blip."
Expanding bus and train networks help spur the growth.
Ridership on Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority light-rail trains increased 6 percent over 2012, as the public took advantage of an expanded network of lines. Overall, LA Metro gained 9 million trips to reach 478 million in 2013, the transportation association said. Among the other transit systems in California with record ridership was the Caltrain commuter rail service that connects San Francisco with Silicon Valley.
Houston, which has been more notable for its sprawl than its public transportation offerings, had a large ridership gain. So did Seattle, Miami, Denver and San Diego. The New York area's behemoth transit network saw the greatest gain, accounting for one in three trips nationally.
Transit advocates argue that the public increasingly values the ability to get around without a car. They offer as evidence the nation's urban shift and the movement to concentrate new development around transit hubs.
"People want to work and live along transit lines," Melaniphy said. "Businesses, universities and housing are all moving along those corridors."

Free Fight
"The UFC did a great job matching this fight up, and it's definitely going to be exciting. We both like to stand up and I'm definitely prepared for him." - Chris Cariaso
The sport of mixed martial arts has exploded globally, but in certain regional areas the sport has always been and always will be a hotbed. In the United States, no state more exemplifies this fact than California. Home and birthplace of UFC legends like Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, the state is filled with talent and professional hopefuls looking to climb their way up the arduous ranks of the MMA elite.
One such competitor is San Francisco-based fighter Chris Cariaso. Having trained extensively in Muay Thai and owning a gym with a world Muay Thai champion, the Ralph Gracie jiu-jitsu product has become one of California's standout athletes and businessmen.
"I started out doing martial arts when I was five years old and I've been doing it my whole life," said Cariaso. "I always envisioned owning a martial arts gym. When I was 22, I took the opportunity to start one up and I was able to open one up."
From his earliest days, Cariaso experienced success as a professional fighter. Starting out in 2006, Cariaso went on a six fight unbeaten streak, tearing up the northern California fight scene. He didn't lose in his first two years of professional competition, scoring five unanimous decisions and a head kick knockout.
"I attribute my early success to my standup training; I come from a Muay Thai background," said Cariaso. "I've been training a long time, since I was 11 years old…I actually had my first fight when I was 11 years old, doing Muay Thai. Once I made that step, and made my debut in mixed martial arts, it was an easy transition."
Since that transition, Cariaso has gone on to produce a record of 11-2 and has compiled another distinction of note, competing in practically every major MMA organization except for PRIDE. It is a testament to his veteran stature, and Cariaso has accepted these experiences humbly.
"I think it's really exciting and I feel blessed that I've had the opportunity to be able to fight in all those organizations. Being in the UFC has always been a dream of mine, and I felt like fighting in those promotions were steps for me to get to where I am today. Going into the WEC was my UFC and just making it to that level was a dream of mine. Just making it there, and now that the UFC has bantamweights in it, it's a beautiful thing and here I am in the UFC…it just couldn't be a better thing."
In his first outing in the UFC, Cariaso took on Will Campuzano at UFC: Fight For The Troops 2 at Fort Hood. The three round war saw Cariaso emerge as the victor via unanimous decision, solidifying his entrance onto the biggest MMA stage in the world.
"My first experience fighting in the UFC was definitely very stressful," said Cariaso. "I didn't want to make a mistake, and coming off a loss in the WEC (against Renan Barao), just made it all the more stressful. I wanted to go out there and prove that I wanted to be there, but now I got that win under my belt and I'm definitely going to shine here at UFC 130."
Cariaso's next opponent is fast rising former WEC competitor Michael McDonald. McDonald is riding a five fight winning streak and the distinction of having his first UFC fight yield Fight of the Night honors against Edwin Figueroa at UFC Fight Night: Nogueria vs. Davis. The fight is a great challenge that Cariaso is definitely game for, and by the look of McDonald's current record, a win for Cariaso could potentially derail the fast rise McDonald seems to be logically making towards a title shot. Ironically, McDonald is also a northern California representative.
"I think it's a great fight," said Cariaso. "The UFC did a great job matching this fight up, and it's definitely going to be exciting. We both like to stand up and I'm definitely prepared for him. Pretty much everybody I've fought is a tall, right-handed fighter and I don't think that he's not going to show me anything that I haven't seen before."
Looking for a change of pace for this fight, Cariaso took the journey north for a new training regimen and new training partners.
"I opened my training camp a whole bunch. I went and spent a little time in Montreal and went over to the Tristar gym. And I got some work up there for a little bit. I kind of opened up my camp back home too; I've been working with top level pro boxers and top level pro Muay Thai fighters, and I'm kind of diversifying my camp a whole bunch more, and breaking out of that norm that I've been used to, just to elevate that game."
As the day draws near to the matchup between two rising stars within the new UFC bantamweight ranks, it is a sign of the bright future of the division. What fans can expect is the typical fast-paced action of the lighter weight classes and the march of these California kids, who make up a large percentage of the division, towards Octagon glory.
"I'm going to bring a big win on May 28th at UFC 130," said Cariaso. "My goal here is to break into the top 10, be known as a top 10 fighter, and in the future, hopefully get a shot for that title."

Veneers / Porcelain Laminates
Porcelain veneers, sometimes called tooth veneers, can be used to correct both color and shape problems and make for a great smile makeover.
Overview of Tooth Veneers
Often an alternative to crowns, veneers are very thin pieces of specially-shaped porcelain or plastic that are glued over the front of your teeth with little or no anesthesia needed. They are the cure for teeth that are severely discolored, chipped, have small holes or pits, misshapen or crooked, or for the correction of unwanted or uneven spaces. Unlike crowns, veneers won't require the dentist to remove much of the tooth itself in most cases. It is important to ask your cosmetic dentist how much tooth will be removed. In some cases more tooth will need to be removed, which may increase the risk of trauma to the tooth. Veneers are created from an impression taken in your cosmetic dentist's office. Your custom veneer is then glued directly onto your tooth. Typically costing less than crowns, veneers won't stain, making veneers a very popular solution for many people seeking that perfect smile. Strong and very durable, veneers last from ten to fifteen years, and come in colors that will brighten dark teeth without the worry of them changing color.
How are Tooth Veneers Attached to your Tooth?
In your first appointment, it is important to initially discuss with your cosmetic dentist that you will want to "try in" your veneers with temporary cement that is the same color cement as will be used for the permanent attachment. During this "try-in" phase, be sure to look at your veneers in natural light in addition to the office light. Teeth are prepared for veneers by lightly buffing to allow for the small added thickness of the veneer. Veneers are thin like contact lenses, and will usually only need tooth reduction of 0.5mm to 1.0mm. If a drastic change is being made for the result you want, reduction may be 1.0mm to 2.0mm. A mold is taken of the teeth, from which the veneers are modeled after. Temporary veneers will be placed and worn until your permanent veneers are ready. While wearing the temporary veneers, advise your cosmetic dentist of any adjustments or changes you would like made, such as in shape or size. These changes will be translated into your permanent veneers, so good communication between you and your dentist is important in achieving your new smile.
Your dentist places the veneers with water or glycerin on the teeth to verify their perfect fit and the shade or color. The color cannot be changed after the veneers are adhered to your teeth. The tooth is then cleansed with chemicals to achieve a durable bond. Once the glue is between the veneer and your tooth, a light beam is used to harden the glue/cement.
