  • Veneer holder
    Patent number: 6182820
    Abstract: A holder for dental implants namely dental veneers. The holder has a bottom tray and a top cover both opaque. The top cover has a recessed portion that is designed to receive a foam sheet. The foam sheet is designed to cover the top cover so that it blocks light from entering the closed holder. The bottom tray has recessed wells that are designed to receive dental veneers. When the cover is closed over the tray, the light is blocked out so that light-sensitive resin placed upon the dental veneers does not harden before the dental veneers are placed upon the patient's teeth.
