Studies show that two out of every five adults take some type of medication that could have dental related side effects. Depending on  your  age, this chance can be  doubled.
In addition to prescribed and over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements can also cause oral health issues .The side effects can range from dry mouth  (causing cavities or tooth decay ) to inflamed gum (gingivitis ) to taste altercations and possibly bone loss (periodontal disease).

Some of the most common side effects from medications that affect oral health include:

.Dry Mouth , in which can lead to bad breath , or HALITOSIS

.Abnormal Bleeding

.Altered Taste

.Inflammation, Mouth Sores, or Discoloration of the soft tissues in your mouth

.Enlarged Gums

.Cavities

.Teeth and Gum color changes (stains),

Some drugs can cause intrinsic stains of teeth,meaning ,teeth whitening products  can not alter the color any more,and you might need dental veneers or porcelain veneers to mask the discoloration.

It is best to have the COSMETIC DENTIST , or DENTIST ,to be in communication with your physician and you ,in order to provide optimal health care. It is of utmost importance that you do fill the health questionaire properly,and know your medication and dosages.

Besides the width of the tooth being %75 to %80 of the length,we also have a measurement generally to find out, what the length of the upper front tooth should be. How ? The cosmetic dentist or the Esthetic Dentist performing smile makeover should measure from the depth of the vestibule to the incisal edge of the front tooth,that measurement is usually around 22 milimeters (mm).,for ideal length of the upper front tooth,in which dictates your smile makeover initial stage.
Every patient should know that lighter teeth ,reveal bigger teeth,and darker teeth reveal smaller teeth! so just by teeth whitening, (bleaching teeth ),placing porcelain laminates or having porcelain veneers done ,automatically your teeth will look bigger and eventually your smile will be more zygomatic.
Because of this point mentioned ,i generally do not recommend having 6 teeth veneered ,or 6 (dental veneers )done. Your canine teeth already are bigger and darker than the rest of your teeth,if the patient changes the color to a more whiter desired color ,those 6 teeth will stick out like a sore thumb,and hides the rest of teeth, specially when you are looking at the smile from the side (the back teeth will look much smaller).
Having said that, it is vital that your cosmetic dentist ,plans your smile makeover by taking various photos and study models ,to plan the final outcome of your tratment.
Please do not hesitate to call us at 310-550-0383 to make your cosmetic ,one on one consultation appointment,with Dr. Anthony Mobasser.

With his trained, artistic eye, he can instantly recognize what makes a smile so dazzling or identify what can be done to turn an average smile into a dazzling work of art.

Below are some of his thoughts on today’s celebrity smiles.

Tom Cruise . He has a wonderful, world-famous smile, but there are some things he could do to improve it. A combination of gum line pink bonding on the upper right canine tooth, and a thin porcelain veneers on the upper right side could give him a fuller smile. My philosophy is to keep your teeth for the rest of your life and use the most conservative minimal procedure possible when it comes to veneers. My suggestion to him is to add (not remove) a combination of bonding and porcelain veneers.

Cosmetic dentistry is growing in popularity every day. If you’re looking at having some cosmetic dental treatment done on your smile, no doubt you have many questions. Herewith we provide some answers.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY PROCEDURES
Many options are available these days, including permanent whitening, reshaping and contouring of the smile line, porcelain veneers (dental veneers) and more. Read our “procedures” articles for more details. You also may want to visit our “Services” site.

COSMETIC DENTAL COSTS
As with most customer services, the cost varies depending on the time required and the complexity of the dental cosmetic procedure. Creating your smile makeover may require a combination of the services listed above. The best way to determine price is to consult a Los Angeles cosmetic dentist as Dr. Anthony Mobasser. Keep in mind cosmetic dentistry is an investment in both your personal and professional future.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY BENEFITS
Surveys show 98 percent of Americans believe a person with a beautiful smile is more successful, more intelligent, more attractive, and much more. A great smile also makes patients feel more confident and ensures your teeth are healthy.

TIMELINE TO COMPLETE YOUR COSMETIC DENTISTRY
How many visits will it take to improve your smile? The timeline varies for each person, depending on the amount of work required. Some procedures can be completed in one or two visits. More extensive work may require up to six visits. Due to Dr. Mobasser’s expertise, rest assured that your cosmetic dentistry will be performed with the highest quality possible in the shortest amount of time. Whereas many cosmetic dentists require up to 10 visits to complete cosmetic dentistry procedures, Dr. Mobasser requires only two in most cases. The need for a complete, comprehensive evaluation and consultation is a must prior to starting treatment. Undergoing smile makeover may sound daunting, but the ease with which Los Angeles cosmetic dentist Dr. Anthony Mobasser performs his procedures, you’ll wonder why you didn’t start the treatment sooner. You are going to love your new smile!

APPEARANCE
Dr. Mobasser will collaborate with you to create the look you desire. He can create a smile enhancement that looks both natural and dramatic. Using photographs and models, Dr. Mobasser can show you how you’ll look with your new smile. In some cases, he can place trial materials (dental mockup) directly over your existing teeth so you can view the final results immediately.

LONGEVITY

Your makeover will last for many years if you practice good dental oral hygiene. This includes brushing, flossing, and preventive visits. Please note each patient requires different preventative visits in which Dr. Mobasser will let you know ahead of time due to plaque buildup, your past medical history, your past dental history, enzymes in your saliva, and the genetic factors relating to plaque buildup. Some patients may need checkups every 2-4 months, every 6 months, or every 12 months, depending on the plaque buildup.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY AND YOUR DENTAL INSURANCE
Not all dental insurance plans cover cosmetic dentistry. If they do, they will reimburse only a portion of the treatment. We can check in advance (after a complete analysis of your dental health) if your insurance does cover cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Mobasser can arrange a payment structure to best suit your needs.

TOOTH WHITENING
Please note many people are concerned that teeth whitening will damage their tooth enamel and cause permanent teeth sensitivity. On the contrary, teeth whitening causes no damage to your enamel. However, if you have gum disease, gum recession, or your roots are exposed, teeth whitening is not recommended due to causing severe sensitivity on the rooth of the tooth. In some cases that has been irreversible. That is why Beverly Hills cosmetic dentist Dr. Mobasser says that is pertinent to have a compelte evaluation before starting teeth whitening procedures. Dr. Mobasser does not recommend you use over-the-counter whitening products before you have complete examination and evaluation for root sensitivity and root recessions to avoid further damage.

While you may experience some sensitivity during the whitening process and for a brief time afterwards, the sensitivity should fade within one to two days following the procedure.

Patients interested in porcelain veneers often wonder how white the veneers should be.

Teeth are not monochromatic, so using a variety of shades yields a natural look, said Dr. Anthony Mobasser, a Los Angeles dentist who specializes in cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry.

Some Background

First let’s address the obvious question and define porcelain veneers.

A porcelain veneer is a thin sheet of porcelain that can be affixed to the surface of a tooth to improve smiles by covering chipped, broken, stained or misshaped teeth. Porcelain is usually thought of as a delicate material, but when bonded to a tooth, it is incredibly strong and durable.

Selecting a Veneer Shade

Mobasser recommends patients undergo a teeth whitening treatment to whiten their natural teeth prior to placing porcelain veneers. Because veneers are extremely thin, a tooth that is dark or deeply stained could provide a shading effect once the veneers are affixed that causes the finished product to be darker than desired.

Why not choose a thicker porcelain veneer?

“The translucency of porcelain veneers gives them the ability to mimic natural tooth enamel and creates a natural appearance,” Mobasser said.

Using more than one color in making the veneers also provides variation and avoids teeth looking fake or artificial. Eye teeth tend to be darker than the others, while front teeth typically are the whitest. Molars most often are a shade between the two.

Another important factor to consider is the surface texture of porcelain veneers, Mobasser said. Adequate texture helps to break up light reflections and make the veneer look more natural.

There is no one standard system in the dental field to measure and determine tooth color, according to (http://www.aboutcosmeticdentistry.com/procedures/tooth_veneers/veneer_color.html) www.aboutcosmeticdentistry.com. The most often heard about, however, is the Vita shade guide. This guide divides tooth color into four basic shade ranges:

A (reddish brown)
B (reddish yellow)
C (gray)
D (reddish gray).

In the A range there are five levels of darkness. Ranges B, C and D each have four levels.

“When I evaluate a patient for porcelain veneers, I am concerned with getting the optimum results,” Mobasser said. “In addition to considering the color of the patient’s natural teeth, I also evaluate their complexion, hair color, and to some extent, their eye color. It is important to me that a feature as dominant as a smile compliments all of their other facial features.”
