Being surrounded by all of the fashion and beauty in Los Angeles makes it difficult not to get caught up in the cosmetic industry trend. You don’t have to resort to drastic surgery, however, to change your appearance because brightening up your smile is the easiest way to enhance your look. Wanting to improve her smile, Katie went to Dr. Sam Muslin and asked for a smile that would "light up a room." She wanted whiter teeth, slightly larger teeth, and a wider smile and did NOT want a single tooth ground down. |

Whiter Brighter Teeth: Porcelain Veneers vs. Teeth BleachingCrest Whitening Strips, Brite Smile, Zoom II and other bleaching materials can help whiten teeth, but cannot change the shape of the patient’s teeth. Teeth bleaching in Los Angeles is a very big business but is limited as far as the possibilities. When teeth are too small or the smile is too narrow, teeth bleaching cannot provide the results that are available with veneers. The effects of bleaching also do not last forever. Porcelain veneers are a great alternative because they permanently whiten and can change the size and shape of the natural teeth. |

Superior Bonding TechniqueDr. Muslin has developed an advanced dental bonding technique to integrate the porcelain veneer with the tooth structure. This procedure involves materials that not only seal out bacteria and decay, but also give off fluoride under the porcelain veneer to make the teeth stronger. Porcelain veneer bonding seals the teeth so well that they can become less sensitive. |

Tooth SensitivitySome patients have thin enamel, which makes teeth sensitive to temperature. These patients may feel sharp pangs on their teeth because the dentin is exposed. Bonding porcelain veneers over the top of the enamel seals the teeth and eliminates this sensitivity. Another advantage of porcelain veneers is that the extra layer bonded to the natural tooth structure makes teeth stronger and less likely to decay. |

Before and After PhotosCosmetic dentistry and porcelain veneers can solve many health problems and make your teeth more comfortable. It’s important, however, to choose a skilled dentist whom you can trust. "Before and After" photos are the key to selecting the dentist to deliver your care. Please beware that some dentist buy the photos and represent the results as their work. |
