Lisa - No Grinding Porcelain Veneers

"I now have natural white teeth, far less tooth sensitivity, a fuller upper lip, and a wider smile - all without tooth grinding."

Lisa from Rancho Park, CA

Natural Smile

Lisa is not your typical candidate for cosmetic dentistry. She already has a naturally beautiful smile and straight teeth after orthodontic treatment. Her bite is also balanced and comfortable so Lisa does not require dental care. However, she wanted to turn her good smile into a great smile, and fortunately, she knew just the right person for the job.

Dental Assisting

As a recent (unemployed) college graduate, Lisa decided to be a temporary assistant at her father’s dental office. She was able to see for the first time the level of care and the natural looking smiles her father was able to create. She saw that he personally worked on the porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns with his ceramist and the results were very impressive.

Lumineers ® vs. Dr. Sam Muslin’s Veneers

Porcelain veneers have been around for many years. Traditionally, porcelain veneers involve grinding on the natural tooth structure to make room for the porcelain. There has been a recent Lumineers ® advertising campain , since they advertise "pain free, no-drilling" porcelain veneers. Dr. Muslin’s "pain free no drilling porcelain veneers" are similar in many respects, as no tooth structure has to be removed. However, he has the ability to personally work with the ceramist and customize the patient’s porcelain veneers to achieve results that appear very natural.

Cosmetic Dentistry

"Wow!" She always thought her upper lip was too thin and never dreamed that dental care could make her "upper lip fuller" without surgery, stitches, without injections or pain. Lisa was very excited. Sam Muslin, DDS, MAGD explained that the veneers would be better angled than her natural teeth and would get better lip support, therefore giving her a "fuller upper lip" and slightly longer teeth.

Sensitive Teeth

Her teeth were sensitive to cold. When snow skiing, she found it uncomfortable breathing through her mouth. She never realized that the porcelain veneers could actually make her teeth MUCH LESS SENSITIVE. He explained that the extra layer of custom made porcelain was bonded to her teeth and gave her additional thermal protection. The exclusive bonding technique by Dr. Muslin utilizes a powerful tooth desensitizer. His patients rarely have tooth sensitivity after porcelain veneers, porcelain crowns, or fillings.

The procedure was painless and Lisa said, "I can eat ice cream without sensitivity and go snow skiing and breathe the cold air through my mouth in total comfort."

"I now have natural white teeth, far less tooth sensitivity, a fuller upper lip, and a wider smile" all without tooth grinding.
