COSMETIC DENTISTRYAmber was always self-conscious about her smile and wanted to enhance her appearance with straight, white teeth. After moving to Los Angeles, she was referred to Dr. Sam Muslin of Santa Monica for a consultation. She never dreamed the level of cosmetic dental care that was possible in such a short period of time. Amber typically would need years of braces and a lifetime of wearing retainers. She did not want to go through the hassle of wearing braces and wanted whatever cosmetic dentistry that was available within a week. Yes, one week! Dr. Muslin has his full-customized dental porcelain lab that can complete porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns very quickly. Amber was excited. |

A Cross-bite is a Bad BiteBecause Dr. Muslin’s chief concern is the health of the patient, Amber’s case involved a complex treatment plan to balance her bite. Amber had a bilateral cross-bite and crooked teeth. She refuses to wear braces or get orthodontic care; so cosmetic dentistry provides the best solution to achieve a healthy bite with a combination of porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns. Correcting her bite was a huge health benefit for long-term dental health and bite stability. |

Thin EnamelHer teeth have a gray appearance because of the large amount of translucency in her natural dental enamel. After teeth bleaching, (with fine products like Zoom II, BriteSmile, Crest Whitening Strips, or even Opalescence) her teeth will still look gray. Teeth with thin enamel do not respond well to whitening solutions, so porcelain veneers or crowns are the most effective way to permanently whiten her teeth. Big Compliments"I now get compliments on my teeth. People tell me that my teeth look great and think they are totally natural. One guy said that he could not tell even after looking closely. I feel great about my teeth." These AFTER photos were taken 2 years from when the treatment was completed, and her smile still looks great! Dr. Muslin’s work lasts. |
