Lorraine lives in Monaco and wanted porcelain veneers that do not require grinding down her natural teeth. She had heard of a company that coined the phrase Lumineers which are porcelain veneers that required little to no grinding of her natural teeth, which would result in straight teeth. She wanted a much better smile but had seen porcelain veneers that looked very fake. Fake looking porcelain veneers were a complete "turn off" to Lorraine and her friends. Her friends and her dentist in Monaco advised her to NOT get it done, even though the thought of straight teeth through instant braces was very appealing. There were concerns about the health of her teeth and possible grinding on her natural teeth. |

Treatment:Lorraine was very determined to have a much better smile with natural white straight teeth. She had heard about Dr. Sam Muslin and flew half way around the world to see him. She saw photos of Dr. Muslin's instant braces work on the internet and now saw more photos in his office of patient's that had already had the instant braces treatment completed and they looked great! Instant braces seemed a reality! Lorraine decided to move forward and dental x-rays, stone models of her teeth, a lot of photos of her face and close up of her teeth and a complete exam by Dr. Muslin were completed. The best advice from Dr. Muslin was to get the gums totally healthy first and do teeth bleaching or teeth whitening to her teeth. She flew back to Monaco and followed the directions and set up her instant braces treatment appointment six weeks later. |

Instant Braces: Straight Teeth in 4 Days!Because she traveled from so far away, the entire treatment of 14 teeth was to be completed in only four days. Dr. Sam Muslin has his own ceramist and the two of them work together on every patient's porcelain veneers and porcelain crowns or bridges. The ceramist and the doctor use the computer images to measure the exact dimensions of her new teeth. There is no time for errors or remakes. Many of Dr. Sam Muslin's patients come from long distances away so being experienced in delivering complex dentistry the right way, the first time, is one of his strengths. Lorraine's treatment went flawlessly. She was thrilled with the finish and only a couple of her teeth had to have some grinding but it was very minimal. The photo of Lorraine in the after shot was taken immediately after bonding the veneers in place. Lorraine was a wonderful patient and looked great even after sitting in the dental chair for a few hours. Because her teeth were not ground down, no shots or dental injections were necessary. Her instant braces were completed without anesthesia! She flew back home half way around the world the very next day and wrote a letter back to Dr. Muslin thanking him for the results. She said: "Even my dentist was impressed with my straight teeth and the quality of your work. Thank you Dr. Muslin!" |
