Feb. 20, 2007, Los Angeles and Beverly Hills (B.H.) - The numbers say it all: Three out of four adults in the United States believe an unattractive smile can hurt your professional and personal lives. As the saying goes, "Smile and the whole world smiles with you
Uneven, chipped or discolored teeth are the easiest dental flaws to spot. The application of porcelain veneers , however, can replace those flaws with assets.
While no cosmetic dentistry procedure can take the place of good oral and periodontal hygiene, porcelain veneers can give you a youthful and dazzling smile.
A porcelain veneer is a thin shell of porcelain that fits over any damaged, discolored, or misshaped teeth. There are several advantages to this procedure:
• The color, translucence and texture of veneers is very similar to your natural tooth enamel.
• Porcelain is an extremely durable material.
• It resists staining and isn't susceptible to decay
• Veneers can effectively close gaps between your teeth, lengthen and reshape teeth.
Dr. Anthony Mobasser, known as the "Aesthetic dentist to the Stars," will begin by discussing with you the changes you'd like to make in your appearance. He'll fully explain your various options, the procedure, and its risks and limitations. You'll also learn about the type of anesthesia required and the details of your fees.
The procedure begins with roughening and shaping your existing teeth, to remove part of the tooth enamel. This allows for a better bonding, while creating room for placement of the veneer.
Once shaping is completed, Dr. Mobasser will take an impression of your teeth, to be used in creating your customized veneers. He also may recommend applying a temporary veneer to protect your teeth until the next step.
At your next appointment, 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.
