No Grinding Porcelain Veneers
Eliminating Tetracycline Stain
This patient wanted a whiter and brighter smile but she also wanted it to look natural. When she came to our office she had extensive tetracycline staining and bad veneers on her canines that had turned black. She came to Dr. Muslin because she wanted a dentist that used the highest quality dental materials so that any future work would look natural and last a decade or more.
She also did not like the broken edges or the gaps in her teeth. Dr. Muslin pointed out at her consultation that her smile was also very narrow and that her teeth were not sized proportionally. He explained to her that if she really wanted to take her smile to the next level then making it wider and therefore fuller was the way to go.
Dr. Muslin always studies his patient's entire face so that he can provide treatment options like widening the smile. These types of options and this level of consideration is what can be expected from Dr. Muslin because he studies every patient from an artistic standpoint. He priority is to deliver the most innovative health care while delivering the best aesthetic results for each patient.
Non-Invasive Porcelain Veneers
She was very specific that she wanted as little grinding as possible on her natural teeth and this is one of Dr. Muslin's specialties. This type of treatment is called non-invasive dentistry and it can only be successful if the dentist has remarkable hand skills and a lab capable of executing very specific design specifications. Dr. Muslin works daily with his lab Ceramist to assure the highest quality porcelain work that requires little to no grinding of the patients natural teeth.
Porcelain Crowns
In order to bring the canine teeth, which had the bad veneers from the past, in line and in proportion with the rest of her smile two crowns were the best treatment plan. Without any grinding on the remaining teeth, veneers were bonded in place that perfectly matched the crowns. Notice how much wider and fuller her smile became in the after image!
To make sure that the look stayed natural, all of restorations have translucencies, surface textures, and subtle shading. The shape of each tooth is custom designed by Dr. Muslin to match her facial features and to capture the anatomy of a natural tooth. This level of design consideration is what differentiates Dr. Muslin's work from other dentists. Her smile is full but still natural looking and it will last for decades to come!
