Ray Voller is a dentist from Pennsylvania who I have had the pleasure of knowing for about 15 years. We have chatted many times on different dental forums and Ray has always been one of those rare dentists who wanted to improve his skills and was not afraid to show other dentists his work.

SO what are the purposes of the
little bumps and grooves in natural teeth, and why do some of dentists strive
to restore teeth to this condition? They serve to hold food on top of the tooth
to prevent it from falling off as it gets 'squished' from the opposing tooth
crushing it with each chewing stroke! *(like a mortar/pestle used in the old
pharmacy days to crush pills!)
It's important to not only make
teeth look like teeth, but to make them function like teeth! (which is one in
the same!). With time, tooth wear can occur, especially in those who grind or
clench their teeth together, flattening out the enamel, and lowering the
efficiency of chewing, which also creates fracturing and a whole cascade of
other negative effects. Make sure your teeth look like teeth when they're
restored! By the way, these were restored with composite resin in about an
hour.

Only the BEST dentists have the courage to show both their patient and other
dentists their work. Why would anyone go to an average dentist?
Thank you, but. YOU'RE
work is impeccable !!
I am always thrilled to compliment another dentist who is doing great work. It is sincerely an honor when a another dentists praises my work. This is why when I refer a patient to Root Canal Experts (Drs. Banchs and Byrne) or to Dr. Cooney, my prime orthodontist I always tell them what a privilege and an honor it is to be treated by one of these doctors. There are NOT a lot of great dentists around and when I see really good work, I support those doctors and I think that you should too.
