Feb. 9, 2007, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills - Uneven, chipped or discolored teeth are the most visible of defects to ruin a perfect smile. Fortunately, aesthetic cosmetic dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser can replace such flaws with porcelain veneers, to give you a youthful and professional appearance.
A porcelain veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that fits over any damaged, discolored, or misshaped teeth. Advantages of this procedure include:
• The color, translucence and texture is similar to your natural teeth
• Porcelain is extremely durable
• It resists staining and won't decay
• Veneers can close gaps between your teeth, or lengthen and reshape your teeth
Dr. Mobasser can help you decide whether veneers will make the changes you'd like to see in your appearance. He'll fully explain your various options, the procedure, and its risks and limitations. This first visit also is when you'll discuss your anesthesia options and discuss prices.
The first step in the procedure is to roughen and shape your existing tooth by removing part of the enamel. This allows for a better bonding, while creating room for placement of the veneer.
After shaping your tooth, Dr. Mobasser will take an impression of your teeth, to be used in creating your customized veneers. He also may recommend a temporary veneer as a way to protect your teeth until installation of your permanent appliance.
During your second visit, Dr. Mobasser will test your veneers to make sure they are the right fit, size and color. If needed, he may further shape or trim the veneers before the final fitting. He'll then permanently bond the porcelain veneer to your teeth with a composite-resin cement.
