Dental Veneers
Veneers are among the most common procedures performed in cosmetic dentistry today. They are custom crafted from in each individual™s smile, capable of perfectly repairing a smile line that has suffered from wear, discoloration, breakage, misalignment, or shape irregularity. They are also used as a means of tooth whitening, often being what is commonly referred to as permanent tooth whitening.

Permanent Tooth Whitening with Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers fall within the cosmetic category due to their aesthetic application. They produce a dazzling smile, which when completed correctly is indistinguishable from one created from nature. And with advancements in ceramics, today™s veneers take on a translucent quality. The results are nothing short of perfection!
Dr. Mobasser is known for his pioneering work in dental veneers, being the first in the field of cosmetic dentistry to begin applying Leonardo Da Vinci™s principles of divine proportions to smile makeovers. Dr. Mobasser has discovered that the golden ration discovered in nature by Leonardo Da Vinci can be successfully applied to the ratios between the teeth themselves. As a result, he works with a master ceramist to custom craft each and every veneer, including its shape, color and proportion to the smile line.
People who are considering getting dental veneers done also have the option of choosing lumineers. There are a variety of benefits to
receiving lumineers instead of opting for porcelain veneers and the discussion of veneers vs. lumineers is one that occurs frequently.
Application of Veneers & Lumineers
Lumineers, like porcelain veneers are thin shells (equivalent in width to a contact lens). Their durability and life expectancy equals that of porcelain veneers and are used to correct some of the same imperfections that porcelain veneers are used for.
However, despite all their benefits, lumineers can feel less comfortable to the patient than veneers, and they could appear less natural.
The following are the most common uses for porcelain veneers (or lumineers):
The Makings of Porcelain Veneers
Veneers are most commonly created from composite resin and porcelain. They are fabricated artificially in a dental laboratory, after careful measurement and analysis of the smile line is conducted. Typically, they can be made by a dental technician. In Dr. Mobasser™s practice, however, this is done by a master ceramist™s highly trained and experienced hand, after Dr. Mobasser has himself carefully evaluated the size and shape of each tooth in a patient™s mouth. It is no wonder that some of Hollywood™s most elite stars choose Dr. Mobasser for smile makeovers and rejuvenations, and the reason Dr. Mobasser can call himself a dentist to the stars!
The completed veneers are bonded to a patient™s natural teeth, using a resin cement that is durable for the remainder of a patient™s life.
Permanent Tooth Whitening with Porcelain Veneers
Regular tooth whitening (tooth bleaching) may provide a whiter smile, especially in instances of stains or mild discoloration. However, in the event that your teeth are severely discolored (perhaps from years of smoking and eating staining foods) porcelain veneers are used to once and for all whiten the teeth and rejuvenate a person™s smile. Once applied, the veneers themselves will never stain, and the effect is permanent whitening that will stay with you for a very long time.
